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: Widespread, and in some cases accelerating, declines underscore the urgent conservation needs faced by many Arctic terrestrial bird species.

TL;DR: Effects of goose density, hatch timing relative to forage plant phenology, and weather indices on annual growth of pre-fledging Canada geese (Branta canadensis) from 1993-2010 at Akimiski Island, Nunavut are evaluated.

TL;DR: It is suggested that lower per capita food avail- ability explains the smaller size of Canada Geese on Akimiski Island.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared growth trajectories of Canada and lesser snow goose goslings raised on grass-based diets that differed in protein (10, 14% or 18%) and fibre (30% or 45%) with those of free-living gosling on Akimiski Island, Canada.
