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.

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.
