A theoretical model of flock formation to understand trade‐offs between cooperation and competition
Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract Migratory birds often form flocks during spring migration and compete for territories once they arrive at breeding sites. Understanding the emergence and structure of these flocks has important implications for avian ecology and conservation, as flocking can influence migration success, resource distribution, and population resilience. In this

Secondary reproductive strategies in Pacific black brant (Branta bernicla nigricans) [PDF]
, 1999 Thesis (M.S.) University of Alaska Fairbanks, 1999Waterfowl are known to use secondary reproductive strategies, both extra-pair copulations and intraspecific brood parasitism, to increase fitness. We used five polymorphic microsatellite loci to determine

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 1, January–March 2026.Uncrewed aerial systems (UAS) equipped with thermal cameras are increasingly being used in wildlife research. Here, we explore the use of UAS paired with distance sampling to detect and estimate densities of waterfowl pairs and broods in Wisconsin.

Demographic consequences of translocation of overabundant Canada geese breeding in urban areas
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2017 Translocation is a common tool for managing nuisance Canada geese (Branta canadensis) in urban areas across North America. However, no previous research has assessed how translocation affects survival and philopatry at donor and release sites.

A population model for management of Atlantic flyway resident population Canada geese
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2016 Highly abundant resident Canada geese (Branta canadensis) cause property damage throughout their range. Effective reduction and management of these populations requires knowledge of their population dynamics and responses to management actions.

BirT: A Novel Primer Pair for Avian Environmental DNA Metabarcoding
Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 1, January–February 2026.The BirT primers target the mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene and are designed for avian eDNA metabarcoding. They safeguard against the amplification of mammal, fish and amphibian DNA and were successfully used to detect bird species from eDNA samples obtained in Southern Ontario. Detections were cross‐checked with eBird observations.
