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 ...

Bulletin of the World Health Organization, 1973 The role of wild avian species in the natural history of influenza is unknown. A serological study was carried out to ascertain the prevalence, distribution, and types of influenza antibody in several wild Canada goose populations. Geese were trapped and blood samples were obtained in each of 4 consecutive years, 1966-69. Antibody to influenzavirus was

A Second brood in Canada Geese Branta canadensis?
Ornis Svecica, 2014 Canada Geese Branta canadensis do normally not produce more than one clutch per year. On the island of Nidingen off the west coast of Sweden a pair of Canada Geese successfully reared one early brood of young in the spring (2 and 8 young respectively in 2011 and 2012).

Leadership Learning From Vulnerable Experience: On the Need for Reflexive Dialogue
British Journal of Management, EarlyView.Abstract We approach this essay as individuals who have (sometimes painful) experience of vulnerable leadership and a desire to learn from this experience. We root our work in debates about dialogue and its relationship with reflexivity. We establish, through building on the relevant literature, how shared dialogue and reflexivity can support learning ...

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Cutout animation is one of the earliest forms of animation, and to this day remains a popular technique featured in numerous films including Monty Python and South Park series. Most computer animation systems, however, focus on different styles, including cel animation, making cutout animation somewhat underexplored.

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

A Simple Grid‐Maps Pipeline: Restructured, Accelerated and Upgraded
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Grid maps – spatially arranged small multiples – are a powerful tool to show complex geospatial data. Meulemans et al. (2020) introduced a pipeline for computing high‐quality grid maps that are shaped roughly according to their containing geographic outlines.

Plant dispersal by Canada geese in Arctic Greenland
Polar Research, 2018 Despite the abundance of migratory geese as herbivores in the Arctic, and ongoing changes in their populations and distributions, little is known about their role in seed dispersal. Climate change requires Arctic plants to adjust their distributions, and

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.Conservation science struggles with an ongoing divide between research and action. We discussed examples of successful solutions‐oriented avian conservation science. Successes were characterized by communication, collaboration, and co‐development with local communities, decision‐makers, practitioners, and Indigenous communities.

Ibis, EarlyView.Variation in the expression of white ornaments, such as flank spots or wing stripes, has previously been related to indices of individual quality in birds. We measured the white wing stripes of colour‐banded female common eiders Somateria mollissima in three islands in Iceland from 2014 to 2023, to determine whether the expression of these ornaments is
