Relationships Between Migration and Microbiome Composition and Diversity in Urban Canada Geese
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Microbiome analysis presents an opportunity to understand how urban environments affect avian physiology. For example, habitat use can affect microbiome diversity and composition, and hosts with more diverse gut microbiota are thought to be more ...

Plant traits associated with seed dispersal by ducks and geese in urban and natural habitats
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Ducks and geese are little studied dispersal vectors for plants lacking a fleshy fruit, and our understanding of the traits associated with these plants is limited.

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

Composition of Eggs and Neonates of Canada Geese and Lesser Snow Geese [PDF]
The Auk, 2001 Abstract We collected eggs, neonates, and adults of Canada Geese (Branta canadensis interior) and Lesser Snow Geese (Chen caerulescens caerulescens) from Akimiski Island, Nunavut, during the 1996 breeding season. This was done to assess interspecific differences in egg composition, egg-nutrient catabolism, developmental maturity ...

Survival and harvest of Atlantic Flyway resident population Canada Geese
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2015 Resident Population Canada geese (Branta canadensis) are a valuable natural resource, but at high densities they create problems by colliding with vehicles, damaging crops, and fouling parks with feces.

Demographic consequences of translocation of overabundant Canada geese breeding in urban areas
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2017 Translocation is a common tool for managing nuisance Canada geese (Branta canadensis) in urban areas across North America. However, no previous research has assessed how translocation affects survival and philopatry at donor and release sites.

Observations of Neck-Collared Canada Geese Near John F. Kennedy International Airport, New York
Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017 Canada geese (Branta canadensis) often cause significant damage when they strike aircraft. They are responsible for a reported minimum of $2.6 million in damage per year to civil aviation in the United States.

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Despite the critical role that state‐owned enterprises (SOEs) can play in the green transition, relatively little is known about governments' environmental behavior as foreign shareholders. This study examines the effect of state ownership on domestic and foreign environmental performance.

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.

Selection of Pathways to Foraging Sites in Crop Fields by Flightless Canada geese
Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017 Geese, especially when they are flightless, can cause significant crop damage. We determined the effects of shoreline characteristics on foraging site selection by flightless Canada geese (Branta canadensis) in South Dakota.
