Late Summer Movements by Giant Canada Geese in Relation to a September Hunting Season
Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017 The population of giant Canada geese (Branta canadensis maxima) breeding in eastern South Dakota has increased dramatically since reintroduction efforts began in the 1960s.

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.

A population model for management of Atlantic flyway resident population Canada geese
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2016 Highly abundant resident Canada geese (Branta canadensis) cause property damage throughout their range. Effective reduction and management of these populations requires knowledge of their population dynamics and responses to management actions.

Harvest Demographics of Temperate-Breeding Canada Geese in South Dakota, 1967–1995
Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017 In South Dakota, breeding giant Canada geese (Branta canadensis maxima) have increased substantially, and harvest management strategies have been implemented to maximize hunting opportunity (e.g., special early-September seasons) on local, as well as ...

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 ...

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Physical trampling is a ubiquitous activity of walking vertebrates, but is poorly understood as a mechanism impacting biogeochemical cycling in soil. Lack of detailed knowledge of soil abiotic–biotic interactions underlying trampling effects, and the primary sources of ...

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Distinct waterbird species influence nutrient cycling through guano contributions in Great Lakes coastal wetlands. Waterbird‐derived nutrients favour distinct algal communities and wetland sediments rapidly remove waterbird nutrients via biogeochemical processes.

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 ...

Boldness and niche width structure spatial interactions in a natural rodent community
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.We show that individual behavioural differences (boldness) structure spatial encounter patterns within a natural multi‐species community. By linking personality to space use and interaction structure, our study demonstrates how intraspecific variation can scale up to shape community‐level processes.
