Habitat associations of breeding mallards and Canada geese in southern Ontario, Canada

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2015
Understanding habitat associations of breeding mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) and Canada geese (Branta canadensis maxima) in the eastern US and Canada is important for conservation planning, yet studies at spatial scales useful to conservation planners ...

Where the wild rose blooms: A phenology of grounded writing

Anthropology and Humanism, Volume 51, Issue 2, December 2026.
Abstract This flash tip reflects on a phenology of grounded writing, emerging through reciprocal attention and embodied observation across four seasons. Drawing on land‐based methodologies and creative ethnography, I offer reflections for scholars seeking to write otherwise through the practice of standing in solidarity with two feet in one place.

Mapping arctic goose nesting colonies over five decades as a metric of population change

Avian Conservation and Ecology
Conservation planning for wildlife populations should proceed ideally accompanied by precise numerical estimates of abundance. Although such estimates are an ideal goal for fully informed conservation actions, cost and tractability may preclude ...

Antimicrobial Resistance Among Selected Zoonotic Bacteria: A Case Study of Tortoises and Birds at the Uganda Wildlife Conservation Education Centre

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 5, September 2026.
This study investigated antimicrobial resistance in birds and tortoises at the Uganda Wildlife Conservation Education Centre. Escherichia coli predominated in birds, whereas Salmonella enteritidis predominated in tortoises with resistance to sulphonamides detected.

Goose persistence in fall strongly influences Arctic fox diet, but not reproductive success, in the southern Arctic

Polar Research, 2017
Food availability is the primary limitation for terrestrial Arctic predators, many of which rely on rodents that fluctuate in abundance over a 3–5-year period.

Feathers and flu: identifying data gaps in avian influenza host dynamics to prioritize wildlife conservation Plumas y gripe: identificación de datos faltantes en la dinámica de hospedadores de la influenza aviar para priorizar la conservación de la vida silvestre

Wildlife Monographs, Volume 225, Issue 1, September 2026.
We describe the host response continuum for highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses (HPAIV), including the continuum of host responses to HPAIV infection and exposure based on the primary axis of host competence, ability to infect other hosts, and host vulnerability.

Density dependence and phenological mismatch: consequences for growth and survival of sub-arctic nesting Canada Geese

Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2015
The extent to which species are plastic in the timing of their reproductive events relative to phenology suggests how climate change might affect their demography.

Karyotype Variation and Environmental Adaptation in the Invasive Alien Freshwater Flatworm Girardia in China

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Our findings provide a comprehensive baseline of the distribution, reproductive strategies, and environmental adaptations of invasive Girardia species, and underscore the urgent need for continued monitoring and effective management to safeguard native biodiversity.

A comparison of field methods to estimate Canada goose abundance

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2017
We conducted a 2‐year study (2014–2015) in North Carolina, USA, to compare precision and efficiency between 2 methods used to estimate Canada goose (Branta canadensis) abundance.
