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

Quantification of avian hazards to military aircraft and implications for wildlife management. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Collisions between birds and military aircraft are common and can have catastrophic effects. Knowledge of relative wildlife hazards to aircraft (the likelihood of aircraft damage when a species is struck) is needed before estimating wildlife strike risk (

On the Japan-taken Branta canadensis
Japanese Journal of Ornithology, 1952 I reported a specimen of Branta taken in Japan preserved in the British Museum of Natural History, London and identified it with some doubt to be Branta minima (cf. Tori, no. 26, pp. 2-3, 1928). Recently Mr. Robert A. Coombes of Tring Museum kindly examined this skin (Brit. Mus. Reg. 1894. 8. 12. 24) on my behalf and informed that it belongs to B.

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 248, Issue 1, Page 82-93, January 2026.The preservation of bony structures which enclose the hearing organs (ECD) provide a basis for interpreting the hearing capabilities of the extinct, flightless Dromornithidae (Aves). Although the length of the dromornithid ECD was especially short, relative to basicranial length, it conformed to the negative allometric scaling relationships observed in

Falcons reduce pre‐harvest food safety risks and crop damage from wild birds
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 12, Page 3327-3340, December 2025.In the absence of American kestrels, there are more birds in orchards. This leads to increased crop damage and more bird faecal contamination. Abstract Foodborne illness outbreaks have heightened pressures on growers to improve food safety, including mitigating possible threats from wildlife. Among wildlife, birds are particularly challenging to deter,
