Fate of orphans of Canada geese harvested by hunters in Connecticut, USA, depends upon which month the parents were killed

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 3, May 2026.
Little is known about what happens to juvenile birds after one or both of their parents are harvested by hunters during the post‐fledging dependency period. Here, we compare the fate of juvenile Canada geese Branta canadensis that lost ≥ 1 parent to hunters (orphans) during this period to other juveniles that retained both parents (non‐orphans). For 25

Evidence of territoriality and species interactions from spatial point-pattern analyses of subarctic-nesting geese. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Quantifying spatial patterns of bird nests and nest fate provides insights into processes influencing a species' distribution. At Cape Churchill, Manitoba, Canada, recent declines in breeding Eastern Prairie Population Canada geese (Branta canadensis ...

A model to quantify the probability of collision between birds and aircraft: Applications for onboard lighting

Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 3, April 2026.
Abstract Globally, bird and aircraft collisions are a major safety hazard and monetary expense for the aviation industry. Empirical evidence suggests that the behavioral response of an animal within close proximity of an approaching vehicle is a critical factor in determining whether a collision occurs.

Assessing sustainable lethal take for great blue heron in the northeastern United States

Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 50, Issue 1, March 2026.
We used Prescribed Take Level (PTL) models to estimate sustainable take limits for great blue heron and aid depredation permitting decisions by the USFWS in the northeastern United States. The PTL models suggested that current lethal take levels are sustainable and that cumulative authorized regional take should not exceed 2,650 individuals per year ...

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

Survival rates and harvest patterns of Ohio‐Banded Canada geese

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2018
Growth of temperate breeding Canada goose (Branta canadensis maxima) populations remains a challenge for agencies that seek to balance social acceptance with demand for hunting opportunity from constituents.

Estimating waterfowl breeding pair and brood densities using distance sampling with uncrewed aerial systems

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.

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.
