Summary: Research suggests that the prevalence of Leucocytozoon spp. parasites among Emperor Geese in western Alaska has likely remained consistent since the late 1990s, with Emperor Geese potentially harboring more of these parasites compared to sympatrically breeding Cackling Geese.

Summary: The endangered populations of the wild reindeer in the Yamal-Belyi and Gydan regions are analyzed in terms of their diet on Belyi and Shokalskii islands, where they mainly reside in summer. There is a difference in the abundance and trend of white-fronted geese and brant geese compared to the reindeer populations, with the latter showing a decline despite their wide and less selective diet, suggesting the importance of maintaining reservation rules on the islands.

Summary: Seagrasses benefit from moderate grazing and fecal pellet addition, which promotes shoot growth and increases reproductive shoot density. Moderate intensity grazing by Brant Geese also enhances shoot density, leaf extension rates, and productivity of eelgrass.

Summary: In the Colville River Delta of Alaska, the snow goose and brant goose show little difference in trophic resource use during breeding time, but the snow goose has significantly lower foraging costs than the brant goose.

Summary: Atlantic brant are important game birds in the Atlantic Flyway, and managers use multiple data sources to estimate population abundance and set hunting regulations. The development of an integrated population model (IPM) could improve harvest management by predicting abundance before regulations are set and providing more stable hunting regulations.

Summary: Auxiliary markers, such as neck collars and plastic bands, play a crucial role in understanding migratory birds. This study examined the differences between black and brightly colored plastic bands in terms of recovery rates and survival of black brant birds. The results showed that while brightly colored bands initially had higher recovery rates, black bands increased more rapidly over time, resulting in similar recovery rates. Additionally, birds fitted with colored bands had lower risks of natural mortality and hunting. Further research is needed to fully understand the effects of these markers.

Summary: This study examines the status of Pacific black brant by analyzing long-term data. The findings suggest a metapopulation structure exists for brant and highlight the fall age-partitioned Izembek Lagoon index as the best indicator for tracking population processes.

Summary: This study compares the trophic selectivity of barnacle geese and greater white-fronted geese in their highest reproductive concentration areas, and evaluates the role of competition in their population dynamics. The findings suggest that although there are differences in the plants consumed by these species, it is not enough to avoid competition. Barnacle geese show higher selectivity in their diet, but their relatively weak competitiveness contradicts their exponential population growth. The differences in population dynamics between the two species are currently determined by anthropogenic and climatic factors outside of their nesting range.
