Integrated damage management reduces grazing of wild rice by resident Canada geese in New Jersey
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2014 Tidal freshwater marshes of the Maurice River, New Jersey, USA, have been long renowned for robust stands of wild rice (Zizania aquatica). During the 1990s, these marshes experienced an apparent decline in wild rice.

Using programmable infusion pump in avian species – a validation methodology in geese
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Wildlife face anthropogenic and natural stressors that affect their physiology and behaviour. The activity of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis and glucocorticoid (GC) production is intrinsically linked with energy regulation and environmental stressors.

Movement and survival of Canada geese in Iowa
, 2020 Temperate-breeding Canada geese (Branta canadensis maxima) were once extirpated from much of their native range in North America. Extensive reintroduction and management efforts have been incredibly successful in restoring Canada goose populations ...

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 ...

Exploring sources of uncertainty in the estimate of waterfowl harvest in the United Kingdom
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.There is an urgent need to gather data on harvest rates of waterbirds in Europe to assess the sustainability of hunting. Estimates of total waterbird harvest in the United Kingdom (UK) and the relative harvest of different huntable species come from two separate surveys, the Value of Shooting (PACEC 2014) and National Gamebag Census (NGC), and these ...

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.

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.

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 ...

The Vee Formation of Canada Geese [PDF]
The Auk, 1974 THE organized vee formations of geese and other waterfowl have drawn attention from sportsmen and scientists for years. Lissaman and Shollenberger (1970) proposed that birds may fly in a vee to capitalize on upward rising components of the wingtip vortex currents generated by the wings of neighboring birds flying to the front and side. Franzisket (1951)
