This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Migration timing is important to the reproductive success of birds, as mismatches with peak food abundance can lead to reduced fitness and population declines. Birds breeding at northern latitudes may be more susceptible to the effects of climate change, as narrower seasonality farther north can result in timing mismatches for birds that may rely more on endogenous cues to migrate. Few studies have used direct-tracking methods on waterfowl to compare differences in migration ecology across a latitudinal gradient. Spatiotemporal tracking data can also be useful for conservation and management of waterfowl. Giant Canada Geese (Branta canadensis maxima) are increasing in numbers, to the point where they are declared overabundant. Special hunting seasons may be opened to increase harvest of this subspecies, but care must be taken to avoid non-target goose populations. My first objective was to use direct-tracking data to examine differences in migration timing and rate between three goose populations: giant Canada Geese, Southern Hudson Bay Canada Geese (B. c. interior), and Cackling Geese breeding across a broad latitudinal range (49-65 degrees). My second objective was to apply my findings in relation to conserving and managing overabundant Canada Geese, and whether spring migration in overabundant Giant Canada Geese and less abundant Cackling Geese overlap with the proposed spring hunting season (March 1 to March 31). I found that southern-breeding geese migrated earlier and with more variation in spring compared to more northern-breeding geese, and in fall the northern-breeding geese migrated earlier compared to more southern-breeding geese. I also found that all three goose populations were in Manitoba during the fall hunting season, and about 9% of Giant Canada Geese were in Manitoba during the proposed spring hunting season. Increasing our knowledge of migration ecology in waterfowl can be useful in conservation of species that may be susceptible to the effects of climate change, or managing species that are increasing in numbers in which timing data can aid decisions to open special hunting seasons to increase harvest rates.

Book Synopsis Recent Approaches to Canada Goose Management by : Harvey K. Nelson
Download or read book Recent Approaches to Canada Goose Management written by Harvey K. Nelson and published by . This book was released on 1962 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the past 15 years considerable attention has been focused on research and management problems associated with the Mississippi Valley population of Canada Geese. The general breeding, migration, and wintering ranges are well defined. Because this flock is closely associated with national wildlife refuges and State management areas in Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, and the majority of this population winters in southern Illinois and vicinity, it has been possible to determine quite accurately annual total population trends, annual harvest rates, and the breeding potential of the population sent back to the breeding grounds each spring. Based on knowledge accumulated for this population, steps are being taken to compile similar information for other major continental Canada goose populations.
Book Synopsis Nesting Giant Canada Geese of Southeastern Lower Michigan by : Richard Marvin Kaminski
Download or read book Nesting Giant Canada Geese of Southeastern Lower Michigan written by Richard Marvin Kaminski and published by . This book was released on 1975 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Giant Canada geese (Branta canadensis maxima) are year-around residents in the Huron River Valley of southeastern Lower Michigan. The flock originated from maxima stock that were either released or escaped from private waterfowl collections during the mid-1920's. A study was made during the spring and summer of 1974 to determine the flock's breeding range, to quantitatively describe the nesting habitat, to estimate the size of the breeding population, its productivity, and survival of goslings to fledging.

This book was released on 2001 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Populations of Giant Canada Geese (Branta canadensis maxima) have increased dramatically throughout most of the Mississippi Flyway. This population expansion has been accompanied by an increase in goose-related problems, including depredation of agricultural crops, airport hazards, fecal contamination of water used for drinking or swimming, and damage to lawns, parks, beaches, and golf courses, caused by overgrazing, trampling, feathers, and defecation. Failure to control giant Canada goose populations through traditional harvest methods such as hunting, has prompted interest in alternative harvest methods (nest manipulations, welfare harvest, and nesting female harvest) as a means of reducing goose numbers. The intent of this research was to generate long-term reproductive, survival and bioenergetics data and to utilize these data to develop a population model specific to Missouri Giant Canada Geese. The model was then used to identify population parameters that most influence population growth and to evaluate proposed management actions. Sensitivity analyses indicated that the effect of adult survival on population growth was much greater than any other population parameter. Alternative harvest simulations indicated that nesting female harvest was the most effective means of reducing populations to statewide management objectives. From a management perspective, our results indicate that efforts to control numbers of giant Canada geese should focus on reducing adult survival, in particular adult female survival. It is unlikely that the required reduction in adult survival necessary to reach management objectives will be achieved through traditional harvest methods. Therefore, a combination of non-hunting lethal alternatives will be required.

Download or read book History and Ecology of the Canada Geese Wintering Near Rock Prairie, Wisconsin written by Scott R. Craven and published by . This book was released on 1976 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1960, the flock of giant Canada geese (Branta canadensis maxima)wintering at Rock Prairie, Wisconsin has declined from a mean of 3,000 in 1960-72 to 1,500-2,000 in 1973-74 and 1974-75. With the development of major concentrations of geese near the Horicon National Wildlife Refuge, 55 miles north, the use of Rock Prairie by migrating interior Canada geese (B.c. interior) in the fall has virtually ceased. Nesting habitat, mostly boreal forest on the Canadian shield in southeastern Manitoba, as a total environment, appears marginal. Breeding pair density observed on aerial surveys was 0.013 pairs per square mile. Leucocytozoon has been a major mortality factor of the goslings, claiming up to 50 percent of the annual production at the Alf Hole Provincial Sanctuary which supports the only known concentration of nesting geese associated with Rock Prairie. Hunting pressure has been intense in the Rock Prairie area and mortality at Rock Prairie has approached 10-15 percent of the ensui.

Book Synopsis Influence of Sympatric Lesser Snow Geese (Chen Caerulescens Caerulescens) on Reproductive Performance, Behavior, and Food Habits of Canada Geese (Branta Canadensis Interior) on Akimiski Island, Nunavut by : Jeffrey Scott Gleason
Download or read book Influence of Sympatric Lesser Snow Geese (Chen Caerulescens Caerulescens) on Reproductive Performance, Behavior, and Food Habits of Canada Geese (Branta Canadensis Interior) on Akimiski Island, Nunavut written by Jeffrey Scott Gleason and published by Library and Archives Canada = Bibliothèque et Archives Canada. This book was released on 2003 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research on Akimiski Island, Nunavut, indicates declining numbers of nesting Southern James Bay Population (SJBP) Canada Geese (Branta canadensis interior) while increases have been documented for number of breeding Lesser Snow Geese (Chen caerulescens caerulescens). Low direct recovery rates of goslings is suggestive of late-summer mortality which may be limiting recruitment for Canada geese on Akimiski Island. This study was designed specifically to (1) compare Canada Goose reproductive performance, incubation and brood-rearing behavior in areas of allopatry and sympatry and with Lesser Snow Geese, (2) determine if there are differences in diets of Canada Geese in areas of allopatry and sympatry, and (3) determine if there are differences in diets of Canada and Lesser Snow Geese in the area of sympatry. I documented annual variation for all and spatial variation for some reproductive parameters measured. Results of between-area comparisons of reproductive performance tended to suggest that in some years, Canada Geese nesting in the area of sympatry contribute little towards the maintenance of the island segment of this population. During incubation when females were on nests, male behavior varied as a function of year, area, time-of-day, and incubation stage. Overall, male Canada Geese allocated their time primarily to vigilance, feeding, and resting when females were on the nest. Males in the area of allopatry were more vigilant and fed less compared to males in the area of sympatry. When females were on the nest, their behavior varied relative to time-of-day, incubation stage, and temperature. Females in the area of allopatry were more vigilant than females in the area of sympatry, but overall, females on the nest allocated their time primarily to resting and maintenance. Recess behavior of Canada Geese varied relative to sex, incubation stage, and temperature, but not area, though pairs in the area of allopatry tended to spend more time alert and less time feeding compared to pairs in the area of sympatry. During recesses, males allocated their time primarily to vigilance, whereas females allocated nearly equal proportions of time to feeding and maintenance. Overall, brood-rearing behavior varied relative to year, area, time-of-day, sex/age class, days since peak hatch, brood size, brood density, and temperature. Overall, results are indicative of exploitation competition and I suggest that present foraging conditions are insufficient to meet the energetic demands of breeding Canada Geese, as well as breeding and staging Lesser Snow Geese, molt-migrant Giant Canada Geese, and staging Atlantic Brant. Such an energy deficit is particularly detrimental to the growth and development of Canada Goose goslings resulting in locally poor recruitment which presumably will lead to a much depressed breeding population of Canada Geese on Akimiski Island.
