Population ecology of the dusky Canada goose (Branata candensis occidentalis Baird)

Creator:: Sheaffer, Susan E.
Abstract:: Adult dusky Canada geese (Branta canadensis occidentalis Baird) were banded with plastic neck bands and observed on the winter range during 1985-92. Annual survival rates of adult geese estimated from observation data ranged from 76% to 85%. A model of Canada goose population dynamics was developed to illustrate relationships between...

The energetics of migration and reproduction of dusky Canada geese (Branta canadensis occidentalis)

Creator:: Bromley, Robert G. H.
Abstract:: Adult female Dusky Canada Geese were studied on the Copper River Delta, Alaska and in the Willamette Valley, Oregon during April through July, 1977 to 1979. Objectives of the research were to: 1) determine the chronology of use of protein and energy reserves in relation to four periods of reproduction...

Habitat use, movements, and behavior of postbreeding female canvasbacks in Manitoba

Creator:: Devries, James H.
Abstract:: The habitat use, movements, and behavioral energetics of unsuccessfully breeding female canvasbacks (Aythya valisineria) were examined during the preflightless period in southern Manitoba during 1989-90. Following breeding attempts, unsuccessful females generally expanded their home range on the breeding area, remained there for up to one month, preferentially used large semipermanent...

Ecology of female northern pintails during winter in the San Joaquin Valley, California

Creator:: Fleskes, Joseph P.
Abstract:: I radio-tagged 191 Hatch-Year (HY) and After-Hatch-Year (AHY) female northern pintails (Anas acuta) in the San Joaquin Valley (SJV), California and studied their movements, habitat use and survival during August March, 1991-94. Overall, 94.3% wintered in central California; the highest percentage left during the 1991 drought. Tulare Basin and Mendota...

Effects of female kin groups on reproduction and demography in the gray-tailed vole (Microtus canicaudus)

Creator:: Dalton, Christine L.
Abstract:: The 3-5 year cyclical fluctuations in populations of many vole and lemming species have perplexed ecologists for many years. Numerous hypotheses have been proposed to explain microtine rodent cycles, including various aspects of social behavior. Microtine rodents commonly form kin groups composed of related females. Charnov and Finerty (1980) proposed...

Seasonal movements and distribution of migratory Roosevelt elk in the Olympic Mountains, Washington

Creator:: Schroer, Gregory L.
Abstract:: Seasonal movements, home ranges, core areas and habitat use patterns of hunted, migratory Roosevelt elk (Cervus elaphus roosevelti) were investigated on the Olympic Peninsula, Washington. Radio telemetry was used to obtain more than 3,100 locations of 9 elk from May 1984 - March 1985, and November - December, 1985. Radio-collared...

Population attributes and habitat selection of recolonizing mountain beaver (Aplodontia rufa)

Creator:: Hacker, Amy L.
Abstract:: I investigated the population attributes and habitat selection of mountain beaver (Aplodontia rufa) recolonizing clearcuts in the Coast Range mountains of Polk and Lincoln counties, Oregon between June 1989 and August 1990. The population characteristics of colonizing mountain beaver were evaluated in 12 stands of 3 types: 1-year-old clearcuts assumed...

Satellite monitored dive characteristics of the northern right whale, Eubalaena glacialis

Creator:: Nieukirk, Sharon L.
Abstract:: The western North Atlantic population of the northern right whale (Eubalaena glacialis) was severely depleted by whaling over the last century. Despite over fifty years of protection, fewer than four hundred individuals are believed to exist in the North Atlantic. Relatively little is known about the diving behavior, respiratory physiology,...
