Movement and persistence by Ross’s Geese (Chen rossii) in Canada’s arctic

Abstract: We have been studying population biology of Ross's Geese south of Queen Maud Gulf (QMG) in Canada's central arctic from 1989 to 2008. Many Ross's Geese there nest in a small number of discrete colonies which form the QMG metapopulation. In addition to capture and marking of geese, we have used ground-based sampling of nests to estimate the annual rate of population growth at Karrak Lake, one of the largest colonies within the QMG metapopulation. Between 1993 and 2008, Ross's Geese at Karrak Lake have been grow… Show more

“…Uninterrupted banding operations in arctic regions that support large numbers of highly clumped distributions of snow geese would allow researchers to address population parameters that are estimable from mark‐recapture of individual geese (Cooch and White 2009). Such an approach would allow a focus on facets of metapopulation biology, such as local dynamics in abundance, survival, and recruitment, as well as the exchange of geese among breeding subpopulations (Alisauskas et al, in press) while continuing to allow an assessment of the role that exploitation by hunters may play in population dynamics.…”

“…The movement of organisms among populations can influence individual fitness (Nevoux et al ), genetic structure (Rockwell and Barrowclough ), and spatio‐temporal variation in population dynamics (Ruxton , Alisauskas et al , Schaub et al ). The difficulty in tracking individuals across large spatial scales has impeded more rapid advances in understanding the factors that influence probabilities of immigration and emigration for most taxa (Koenig et al , Doherty et al , Cam et al ).…”

“…The extent of dispersal typically differs between sexes for birds and mammals, related to the ability to defend mates and resources (Greenwood , Pusey , Lawson Handley and Perrin ). Female‐biased dispersal is the norm among birds, but exceptions include most waterfowl (Clarke et al , Blums et al , Alisauskas et al ). Regardless of which sex exhibits greater movement, dispersal probabilities are generally higher for juveniles, as they move from natal to first breeding sites, than for adults that have bred previously (Greenwood , Paradis et al ).…”

“…Changes in local population size could arise from effects of local survival and movements of immature and adult geese among sites (Alisauskas et al , Norris et al ). Translocation of immature and adult geese could reduce a nuisance population of geese, but this effect may be dampened if a large number of geese return to the original site the following year (Surrendi , Fritzell and Soulliere , Sanders and Dooley ).…”
