Download or read book Reproductive Ecology, Bioenergetics, and Experimental Removal of Local Giant Canada Geese (Branta Canadensis Maxima) in Central Missouri written by John Matthew Coluccy and published by . 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.

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.

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.

Book Synopsis Nesting Success, Gosling Growth, and Adult Body Condition of Giant Canada Geese (Branta Canadensis Maxima) in Southern Illinois by : Michael R. Sertle
Download or read book Nesting Success, Gosling Growth, and Adult Body Condition of Giant Canada Geese (Branta Canadensis Maxima) in Southern Illinois written by Michael R. Sertle and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding factors that influence reproductive success is important for managing waterfowl populations. Current breeding density of giant Canada geese ( Branta canadensis maxima ) in the northern 2/3 of Illinois is three times greater than that of the southern 1/3 of Illinois. Previous research indicates that goose population abundance is most likely influenced by mortality of adults, nest success, and gosling growth. In this study, I examined the aspects of fecundity that are most likely to affect giant Canada goose reproduction in southern Illinois: clutch size, nest success, and gosling growth. The average clutch size was 5.0 eggs/nest, and the average nest success was estimated to be 60%. Adult male geese in northern and central Illinois tended to be in better body condition than males in southern Illinois. There was, however, no difference in adult body condition of females between northern, central, and southern Illinois.
Book Synopsis Population Dynamics and Habitat Selection of Resident Urban Canada Geese (Branta Canadensis) by : Elizabeth Ray
Download or read book Population Dynamics and Habitat Selection of Resident Urban Canada Geese (Branta Canadensis) written by Elizabeth Ray and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Populations of resident Canada geese (Branta canadensis) that nest and reside within the contiguous United States have increased at a rate of 7.9% per year to over 3.5 million over the last few decades. Enlarged population levels have resulted in conflicts between geese and humans, including property damage and human health and safety concerns. Noticeable growth of the population of Canada geese in the Indian Bend Wash area of Scottsdale, AZ has been observed in recent years sparking concern that this population will continue to grow at high rates as seen in other urban areas throughout North America. This study was initiated to determine the current population structure, distribution, and productivity of this population of resident geese. During the 2009 to 2010 post-breeding molt, 255 geese were captured and affixed with neck collars allowing individual identification. I conducted surveys from October 2008 to September 2010 and calculated weekly population estimates from mark recapture survey data using the Lincoln-Peterson method. Productivity was also investigated. Nesting was largely limited to one island within the study area, suggesting geese preferentially nest in insular areas to avoid human disturbance. Despite limited nesting opportunities, there was a significant population increase of 15 to 25% from 2009 to 2010 based on population estimates. Goose movement patterns indicate this population has a high level of site fidelity to nesting and molting areas, as has been found in other studies of resident Canada geese. I suggest that management should be implemented to 1) reduce the current population of resident geese through adult removal and 2) limit future recruitment into the population through control of reproduction and habitat modification.
