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

Freshwater Biology, Volume 70, Issue 10, October 2025.ABSTRACT During recent decades, increased populations of geese have raised concerns about their potential impact on the abundance and composition of shoreline vegetation through grazing, and how this may affect other organisms relying on the same vegetation for food or refuge.

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, Volume 35, Issue 5, Page 284-294, September/October 2025.ABSTRACT Agents of taphonomy can bias skeletal parts and the frequency of bones in archaeological sites. An important factor to consider is the possible effect of bone density‐mediated attrition on archaeornithological assemblages. We scanned willow ptarmigan (Lagopus lagopus) specimens using a Lunar iDXA and an enCcore small animal body add‐on to ...

Assessing relative hazard, risk, and seasonal differences of wildlife‐aircraft collisions
Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 49, Issue 3, September 2025.Wildlife collisions with aircraft have occurred since the inception of aviation, with significant safety and economic implications. Strike risk models are used to assess the probability of an adverse event between wildlife and aircraft, providing information to guide wildlife management at airports. This study builds upon DeVault et al.

Oikos, Volume 2025, Issue 8, August 2025.Biomass is a fundamental metric in ecology and conservation, widely used to inform questions related to community structure, energetics and function. Despite the ubiquity of biomass in broader ecological research, avian ecology and conservation has been based primarily on measures of abundance.

Ten years of resident Canada goose damage management in a New Jersey tidal freshwater wetland
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2014 Intensive grazing by Atlantic Flyway Resident Population Canada geese (Branta canadensis) has been shown to dramatically reduce wild rice (Zizania aquatica) abundance in tidal freshwater marshes in the Mid‐Atlantic Region of the United States.

A Yup'ik dance mask from the early‐1900s connects Indigenous tradition and shorebird conservation
People and Nature, Volume 7, Issue 8, Page 1940-1951, August 2025.Abstract A dance mask from the early 1900s reveals connections between Yup'ik people of western Alaska and shorebirds as well as their shared struggle to thrive in the modern world. As a masterpiece of Yup'ik art, the shorebird mask was embraced by the French Surrealism (musée du quai Branly‐Jacques Chirac 70.2006.41.1, Museum of the American Indian 9 ...

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 4, July 2025.Geese and swans are focal species in conservation and in management aimed at reducing crop damage. In the former disturbance should be minimized, and in the latter it is important to know how different species react to scaring activities. Previous research about trade‐off between predation risk and foraging in birds often uses ‘flight initiation ...
