Fearfulness of geese and swans on cropland in winter: a multi‐species flight initiation distance approach Open
Geese and swans are focal species in conservation and in management aimed at reducing crop damage. In the former disturbance should be minimized, and in the latter it is important to know how different species react to scaring activities. …

Individual responses of <span>GPS</span> ‐tagged geese scared off crops by drones or walking humans Open
Scaring of wildlife is commonly used in attempts to reduce crop damage in agricultural landscapes, but relatively few studies exist on its actual effect. We tracked GPS‐tagged greylag geese ( Anser anser ) in south‐central Sweden, before a…

Herbivory on aquatic macrophytes by geese and swans—a review of methods, effects, and management Open
In recent decades, interest has grown in how increasing populations of herbivorous geese and swans (Anseriformes: Anatidae: Anserinae) affect macrophyte communities in wetlands, especially because many waterbodies are simultaneously subjec…

Climate change-induced shifts in survival and size of the worlds’ northernmost oviparous snake: A 68-year study Open
Because of their dependence on ambient temperature ectothermic animals can serve as sentinels of conservation problems related to global warming. Reptiles in temperate areas are especially well suited to study such effects, as their annual…

Local movements of farmed‐released versus wild mallards <i>Anas platyrhynchos</i> in fall Open
Releasing farmed mallards into the wild is a common practice in wildlife management worldwide, involving millions of birds annually, and is mainly carried out to increase hunting opportunities. Ringing and previous research show that relea…

Selection of a diversionary field and other habitats by large grazing birds in a landscape managed for agriculture and wetland biodiversity Open
Several populations of cranes, geese, and swans are thriving and increasing in modern agricultural landscapes. Abundant populations are causing conservation conflicts, as they may affect agricultural production and biodiversity negatively.…

Reducing the number of grazing geese on agricultural fields - Effectiveness of different scaring techniques Open
Scaring is a widely used damage mitigation tool to make agricultural fields less attractive to wildlife and by that reduce crop damage. However, few experimental studies exist where the numerical response of different scaring devices has b…

The hub of the wheel or hitchhikers? The potential influence of large avian herbivores on other trophic levels in wetland ecosystems Open
Goose and swan populations have increased concurrently with environmental degradation of wetlands, such as eutrophication, vegetation losses, and decrease in biodiversity. An important question is whether geese and swans contribute to such…

Adaptive capacity in the multi-level management system of migratory waterbirds: a case study of participatory goose management in Sweden Open
Adaptive management (AM) is one approach to manage migratory waterbirds, but obstacles to the implementation of AM require adaptive capacities in the management system (rules, institutions, action situations). This study aims to examine th…

Understanding and overcoming obstacles in adaptive management Open
Adaptive management (AM) is widely promoted to improve management of natural resources, yet its implementation is challenging. We show that obstacles to the implementation of AM are related not only to the AM process per se but also to ext…

Field selection of greylag geese (Anser anser) Open
Greylag geese (Anser anser) have been increasing in numbers in Europe during the last decades. They forage and roost in agricultural landscapes and may cause damage to sensitive crops. We studied field selection of greylag geese around lak…
