15 صفحه اولEffects of Hatch Date and Food Supply on Gosling Growth in Arctic-Nesting Greater Snow Geese
We studied the effects of hatch date and food supply on growth of goslings of the Greater Snow Goose (Chen caerulescens atlantica) at Bylot Island, Northwest Territories, Canada. Two groups of goslings were collected and imprinted on humans, one early (n = 15) and one late (n = 19) in the hatching period (span of 5-7 days). Early and late-hatched groups were each divided into food supplement an...
متن کاملMicrobial Infections Are Associated with Embryo Mortality in Arctic-Nesting Geese.
To address the role of bacterial infection in hatching failure of wild geese, we monitored embryo development in a breeding population of Greater white-fronted geese (Anser albifrons) on the Arctic Coastal Plain of Alaska. During 2013, we observed mortality of normally developing embryos and collected 36 addled eggs for analysis. We also collected 17 infertile eggs for comparison. Using standar...
متن کاملEcological and social constraints on conspecific brood parasitism by nesting female American coots ( Fulica americana )
1. In a population of American coots ( Fulica americana ) breeding in central British Columbia, Canada, some females pursued a reproductive strategy that combined nesting with laying parasitic eggs in the nests of conspecifics. To understand why only one quarter of the nesting females laid parasitically, I examined social and ecological factors that could potentially constrain nesting females f...
