Tracking Canada Geese Near Airports: Using Spatial Data to Better Inform Management
Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2019 The adaptation of birds to urban environments has created direct hazards to air transportation with the potential for catastrophic incidents. Bird–aircraft collisions involving Canada geese (Branta canadensis; goose) pose greater risks to aircraft than ...

Such an interest is commonly understood to include a right to benefit from the property, yet successful claims in knowing receipt have often been made by ...

Does species composition of arctic geese recovered in prairie Canada vary by hunter residency?
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2011 Estimates of goose harvest by the National Harvest Survey (NHS) in Canada are based on the assumption that species composition of harvest by non‐Canadians that hunt in Canada is equivalent to that of Canadians.

Ecosphere, 2022 Arctic‐nesting geese are specialist herbivores of grasses and sedges (collectively, graminoids). Under moderate grazing pressure, these migratory herbivores can create and maintain arctic grazing lawns with high nutritional content and low aboveground ...

Can norm‐based information campaigns reduce corruption?
American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.Abstract Can norm‐based information campaigns reduce corruption? Such campaigns use messaging about how people typically behave (descriptive norms) or ought to behave (injunctive norms). Drawing on survey and lab experiments in Ukraine, we unpack and evaluate the distinct effects of these two types of social norms.

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.

In vitro culture, cryopreservation, and field reintroduction of the endangered Mingan thistle
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Current plant conservation efforts are hindered by, for example, poor seed germination, low viability, and insufficient propagation and preservation technologies. To address these problems, we devised an approach to plant conservation that integrates conservation, preservation, and restoration (CPR), which uses advanced in vitro techniques. We

Strengthening community‐based fisheries monitoring programs with Indigenous perspectives
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Community‐based monitoring (CBM) programs are increasingly recognized as essential for adaptive environmental stewardship. Yet, the CBM literature often highlights successful cases and privileges evaluations by external experts over those of community members themselves.

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 ...

Arctic Science, 2020 Foraging by hyperabundant Arctic-nesting geese has significant impacts on vegetation of Arctic and subarctic coastal lowlands, but long-term data sets documenting these changes are rare. We undertook intensive surveys of plant communities at East Bay and
