This book was released on 1999 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Successful management of Canada geese (Branta canadensis) requires an understanding of the factors which govern annual variation in reproductive success. We examined variation in nesting phenology, clutch size, nest survival, partial predation, egg size, and nest density for Eastern Prairie Population (EPP) Canada geese using data collected from 3 study areas in northern Manitoba from 1976-1996. The timing of nest initiation varied among years, and this variation was largely related to local weather conditions during the month of May. Mean clutch size declined with later annual nesting phenology, suggesting that delayed nesting results in higher energetic demands and reduced endogenous reserves for EPP geese. The relation between clutch size and relative nest initiation date within years was not linear, with the largest clutches being produced near the midpoint of initiation, and this relation was likely driven by a reduced allotment of nutrient reserves to egg production by early-nes.

This book was released on 1977 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Report is in two major sections: nesting ecology and population limitations. Objectives were to examine apparent optimum and accomplished reproductive rates, habitat preferences, and density and sparing of nests in relation to the regulation of population size. The nesting ecology was also examined to provide insight into the factors limiting goose numbers.

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.
