A Tropical Volcano, High Predation Pressure, and Breeding Biology of Arctic Waterbirds
Although periodic breeding failures of Arctic-nesting birds on a regional scale are common, a breeding failure encompassing almost the entire Arctic in the same year is exceptional. In the spring and summer of 1992, however, the aerosol cloud resulting from the 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo (Philippines) had reached the high northern latitudes and caused significant cooling in most of the Arctic, with widespread negative consequences for Arctic…
Previously Unrecorded Colonies of Ross' and Lesser Snow Geese in the Queen Maud Gulf Bird Sanctuary
In late June 1990 and 1991, during helicopter surveys of geese on the lowlands south of Queen Maud Gulf in the central Canadian Arctic, we found 26 colonies of nesting Ross' (Chen rossii) and Lesser Snow Geese (Chen c. caerulescens). In the 1960s, colonies were found exclusively on islands in shallow lakes; in 1990-91, only 39% of previously unreported colonies were on such lakes. We suggest that, due to massive growth in local populations of bot…
The Numbers and Distribution of Greater Snow Geese on Bylot Island and near Jungersen Bay, Baffin Island, in 1988 And 1983
We conducted aerial photographic surveys of greater snow geese on portions of Bylot Island and northern Baffin Island during August 1988 to determine whether changes had occurred since a similar survey in 1983. On the 1600 sq/km south plain of Bylot Island, using a quadrat system and stratified random sampling, we estimated a population of 26,300 breeding adults, 5,400 failed- and non-breeding adults, and 41,400 goslings; the breeding component h…
