Effects of Abdominally-implanted Radio Transmitters on Canada Geese. Colleagues at the ASC and I are testing effects of abdominally-implanted radio transmitters with external antennas in an urban population of Canada geese in Anchorage, Alaska. Testing of transmitters in urban geese has allowed us to work with free-ranging individuals that migrate and have energetic demands that are similar to geese in wild populations, yet are acclimated to people and easily observed. We are contrasting behavior, migration chronology, survival, reproductive effort, and physiological condition of adult females in radiomarked and control groups.
