TL;DR: In this article, the authors assessed the effectiveness of an extensive and unprecedented wildlife reduction effort directed at a wide-ranging migratory population of geese, and concluded that the midcontinent population has continued to grow during the conservation order, although perhaps at a reduced rate.

TL;DR: The results suggest that conditions encountered during the pre-breeding period can have a significant impact on productivity of Arctic-nesting birds.

TL;DR: The U.S. Geological Survey and Canadian Wildlife Service as discussed by the authors published a survey of the United States Geological Survey's work in the field of bird conservation, including the following: 1U.S Geological Survey Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences Center, 2630 Fanta Reed Road, La Crosse, Wisconsin 54603, USA; 2 Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, 1594 West North Temple, Suite 2110, P.O. Box 146301, Salt Lake City, Utah 84114, USA, 3 Department of Biological Science, Florida State University, Tallahassee,

TL;DR: The results suggest that environmental conditions can have an impact on life histories of birds in seasonal environments, but that variations in juvenile survival probably account for most of the fluctuation in the proportion of birds from a cohort that recruit into the breeding population.

TL;DR: The paucity of predator-safe areas on Bylot Island may be an important factor that drives the geese to molt elsewhere, and the area used by molt migrants and their habitat requirements during molt remain unknown.
