Subtype-specific influenza A virus antibodies in Canada geese (Branta canadensis)
Veterinary Microbiology, 2015 Historically, surveillance for influenza A viruses (IAVs) in wild birds has relied on viral detection assays. This was largely due to poor performance of serological assays in wild birds; however, recently developed commercial serological assays have improved the ability to detect IAV antibodies in wild birds.

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.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.We conducted the first coordinated assessment of terrestrial wildlife across North America's vegetated coastal wetlands. Our study demonstrates the significant role coastal wetlands play in wildlife support, offers a model for broad‐scale wildlife studies, and highlights the importance of incorporating top‐down perspectives and a landscape approach ...

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.

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.

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

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.

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

Hazing of Canada Geese is Unlikely to Reduce Nuisance Populations in Urban and Suburban Communities
Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017 Growing populations of resident Canada geese (Branta canadensis) have caused increased nuisance problems in urban and suburban communities. Hazing, or persistent harassment, is often recommended as a nonlethal management strategy to alleviate these ...

Effects of Saline Environments on the Survival of Wild Goslings (Branta canadensis)
The American Midland Naturalist, 1999 Abstract Research on ducklings and goslings has demonstrated that young birds hatched in moderate to high saline environments without access to fresh drinking water grow and develop slower, and have increased mortality rates. Most direct saline-induced mortality happens before day 6 of life, after which time the nasal salt glands become functional.
