Integrated damage management reduces grazing of wild rice by resident Canada geese in New Jersey
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2014 Tidal freshwater marshes of the Maurice River, New Jersey, USA, have been long renowned for robust stands of wild rice (Zizania aquatica). During the 1990s, these marshes experienced an apparent decline in wild rice.

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

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.

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.

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 4-20, January 2026.Abstract The hyperabundance of herbivores—a result of altered human relationality with the land and the extirpation of predators—is leading to large‐scale degradation of keystone ecosystems across the globe. Designing and implementing socially acceptable and cost‐effective strategies that meaningfully reduce herbivore populations while allowing for the

Molt Migration by Giant Canada Geese in Eastern South Dakota
Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017 We captured giant Canada geese (Branta canadensis maxima) in 7 counties in eastern South Dakota during the summer molting period, 2000–2003. We attached very high frequency (VHF) transmitters to 150 adult female geese with brood patches, and leg bands to
