Reduction in biomass of freshwater arctic vegetation by foraging and nesting hyperabundant herbivores shows recovery
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Ecosphere, Vol 13, Iss 11, Pp n/a-n/a (2022)
Abstract: Abstract Arctic‐nesting geese are specialist herbivores of grasses and sedges (collectively, graminoids). Under moderate grazing pressure, these migratory herbivores can create and maintain arctic grazing lawns with high nutritional content and low abo...
Dynamics of pre-breeding nutrient reserves in subarctic staging Lesser Snow Geese (Anser caerulescens caerulescens) and Ross’s Geese (Anser rossii): implications for reproduction
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Avian Conservation and Ecology, Vol 17, Iss 2, p 38 (2022)
Abstract: Phenological mismatch occurs when the timing of reproductive events and seasonal availability of resources become decoupled, and is increasing in migratory birds in response to climate change. Arctic-nesting geese acquire important nutrient reserves at...
Plasticity in timing of avian breeding in response to spring temperature differs between early and late nesting species
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Scientific Reports, Vol 11, Iss 1, Pp 1-10 (2021)
Abstract: Abstract Plasticity for breeding dates may influence population vulnerability to climate change via phenological mismatch between an organism’s life cycle requirements and resource availability in occupied environments. Some life history traits may con...
Hopping species and borders: detection of Bartonella spp. in avian nest fleas and arctic foxes from Nunavut, Canada
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Parasites & Vectors, Vol 13, Iss 1, Pp 1-8 (2020)
Abstract: Abstract Background In a warmer and more globally connected Arctic, vector-borne pathogens of zoonotic importance may be increasing in prevalence in native wildlife. Recently, Bartonella henselae, the causative agent of cat scratch fever, was detected ...

Assessing bias in demographic estimates from joint live and dead encounter models
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): PeerJ, Vol 8, p e9382 (2020)
Abstract: Joint encounter (JE) models estimate demographic rates using live recapture and dead recovery data. The extent to which limited recapture or recovery data can hinder estimation in JE models is not completely understood. Yet limited data are common in e...
Subpopulation contributions to a breeding metapopulation of migratory arctic herbivores: survival, fecundity and asymmetric dispersal.

Lesser snow goose helminths show recurring and positive parasite infection-diversity relations
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, Vol 6, Iss 1, Pp 22-28 (2017)
Abstract: The patterns and mechanisms by which biological diversity is associated with parasite infection risk are important to study because of their potential implications for wildlife population's conservation and management. Almost all research in this area ...
