Body condition and gosling survival in mass-banded lesser snow geese

Article Abstract:

Mass-banding in lesser snow goose (Chen caerulescens caerulescens) at La Perouse Bay Manitoba, reveals that the decrease in the size of the brood and the subsequent death of the goslings after bonding, are not dependent on banding but on the body condition of the goslings when they are banded. The condition of the goslings is influenced by the non-availability of sufficient food in brood rearing areas due to the large population of geese. Banding has almost no effect on the structure of family groups.

Time to reduction: factors influencing management efficacy in sterilizing overabundant white-tailed deer

Article Abstract:

Research and numerical analysis indicate that white-tailed deer populations can be curbed between 30% to 60% within a four- to 10-year period if wildlife managers sterilize 25% to 50% of female deer each year.
