The costs of raising nidifugous offspring: brood rearing by giant Canada geese (Branta canadensis maxima)

Canadian Journal of Zoology, 1994
Competing hypotheses that have been advanced to explain the phenomenon of posthatch brood mixing by waterfowl can be distinguished by whether they assume that adults experience costs in rearing nidifugous offspring. To test this, time budget data were collected for giant Canada geese (Branta canadensis maxima) at Cambridge, Ontario, in 1990.

Molt-induced muscle atrophy decreases the zinc content of the pectoralis of the Giant Canada Goose (Branta canadensis maxima)

Experientia, 1986
During molt-induced atrophy of the pectoralis muscle of the Giant Canada Goose (Branta canadensis maxima), the zinc content of the muscle was significantly reduced (p≤0.0139), though the concentration of zinc per unit weight of muscle appeared higher (p≤0.0232).

Ultrastructural and cytological changes in the muscle fibers of the pectoralis of the giant Canada goose (Branta canadensis maxima) in disuse atrophy during molt

Cell and Tissue Research, 1987
Adult male Branta canadensis maxima were collected from a nonmigratory feral population during their premolt, molt and postmolt phases. Lean dry weight of the pectoralis muscle decreased significantly (p less than or equal to 0.0001) during molt, as a result of disuse atrophy.

Effect of flightlessness during moult on the iron content in the pectoralis muscle of the Giant Canada Goose (Branta canadensis maxima)

Canadian Journal of Zoology, 1985
Adult male Giant Canada Geese, collected from a nonmigratory wild population during their premoult, moult, and postmoult periods were studied for changes in the pectoralis muscle. A significant (p ≤ 0.0001) drop in the lean dry weight of the pectoralis muscle during the moult period when the birds were flightless was attributed to disuse atrophy.
