Article
Sadie E. G. Ulman, Auteur ; Tuula E. Hollmen, Auteur ; Paul L. Flint, AuteurThe Steller’s Eider is a sea duck that uses specific molting areas in lagoons in southwest Alaska, and these molting populations have declined in recent decades. The annual flight feather molt is a significant stage in avian life-history. The fo[...]

Jerry W. Hupp, Auteur ; Sergei Kharitonov, Auteur ; Noriyuki M. Yamaguchi, Auteur ; Kiyoaki Ozaki, Auteur ; Paul L. Flint, Auteur ; John M. Pearce, Auteur ; Ken-ichi Tokita, Auteur ; Tetsuo Shimada, Auteur ; Hiroyoshi Higuchi, AuteurWe compared migration movements and chronology between Northern Pintails (Anas acuta) marked with dorsally mounted satellite transmitters and pintails marked only with tarsus rings. During weekly intervals of spring and autumn migration between [...]

Estimating carcass persistence and scavenging bias in a human-influenced landscape in western Alaska
Paul L. Flint, Auteur ; Ellen W. Lance, Auteur ; Kristine M. Sowl, Auteur ; Tyrone F. Donnelly, AuteurWe examined variation in persistence rates of waterfowl carcasses placed along a series of transects in tundra habitats in western Alaska. This study was designed to assess the effects of existing tower structures and was replicated with separat[...]
Article
Jason L. Schamber, Auteur ; Daniel Esler, Auteur ; Paul L. Flint, AuteurCondition indices are commonly used in an attempt to link body condition of birds to ecological variables of interest, including demographic attributes such as survival and reproduction. Most indices are based on body mass adjusted for structura[...]

Noriyuki M. Yamaguchi, Auteur ; Jerry W. Hupp, Auteur ; Paul L. Flint, Auteur ; John M. Pearce, Auteur ; Yusuke Shigeta, Auteur ; Tetsuo Shimada, Auteur ; Emiko N. Hiraoka, Auteur ; Hiroyoshi Higuchi, AuteurFrom 2006 to 2009, we marked 198 Northern Pintails (Anas acuta) with satellite transmitters on their wintering areas in Japan to study their migration routes and habitat use in spring staging areas. We hypothesized that the distribution of pinta[...]
Article
Paul L. Flint, Auteur ; Brandt W. Meixell, Auteur ; Edward J. Mallek, AuteurHigh rates of site fidelity have been assumed to infer static distributions of molting geese in some cases. To test this assumption, we examined movements of individually marked birds to understand the underlying mechanisms of range expansion of[...]
Article
Tyler L. Lewis, Auteur ; Paul L. Flint, AuteurOf the transmitter attachment techniques for birds, the subcutaneous anchor provides a secure attachment that yields relatively few secondary effects. However, the use of subcutaneous anchors has been limited by transmitter size and retention ti[...]
Article
John A. Reed, Auteur ; Paul L. Flint, AuteurWe studied the movements and foraging effort of radio-marked Steller's Eiders (Polysticta stelleri) and Harlequin Ducks (Histrionicus histrionicus) to evaluate habitat quality in an area impacted by industrial activity near Dutch Harbor, Alaska.[...]
Article
Kristen B. Gorman, Auteur ; Paul L. Flint, Auteur ; Daniel Esler, Auteur ; Tony D. Williams, AuteurStudies of female waterfowl nutrient reserve use during egg production require a precise understanding of ovarian follicle dynamics to correctly interpret breeding status, and, therefore, derive proper inference. Concerns over numerical declines[...]
Article
Tyler L. Lewis, Auteur ; Paul L. Flint, Auteur ; Joel A. Schmutz, Auteur ; Dirk V. Derksen, AuteurIn environments where habitat quality varies, the mechanism by which individuals assess and select habitats has significant consequences on their spatial distribution and ability to respond to environmental change. Each year, thousands of Black [...]
Article
Noriyuki Yamaguchi, Auteur ; Jerry W. Hupp, Auteur ; Hiroyoshi Higuchi, Auteur ; Paul L. Flint, Auteur ; John M. Pearce, AuteurWe fitted Northern Pintail Anas acuta in Japan with satellite transmitters and monitored their spring migration movements relative to locations where the highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza virus was detected in Whooper Swans Cygnus cygnus in[...]
Article
Paul L. Flint, Auteur ; Christine L. Moran, Auteur ; Jason L. Schamber, AuteurWe studied survival of adult female and duckling Common Eiders during brood rearing at two sites on the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, Alaska, in 1997. Duckling survival to 30 days of age was 19% +- 10% (95% CI). Seventy-three percent of radio-marked ad[...]

Article
Thomas F. Fondell, Auteur ; Paul L. Flint, Auteur ; Joel A. Schmutz, Auteur ; Jason L. Schamber, Auteur ; Christopher A. Nicolai, AuteurBirds employ varying strategies to accommodate the energetic demands of moult, one important example being changes in body mass. To understand better their physiological and ecological significance, we tested three hypotheses concerning body mas[...]

Jerry W. Hupp, Auteur ; Noriyuki Yamaguchi, Auteur ; Paul L. Flint, Auteur ; John M. Pearce, Auteur ; Ken-ichi Tokita, Auteur ; Tetsuo Shimada, Auteur ; Andrew M. Ramey, Auteur ; Sergei Kharitonov, Auteur ; Hiroyoshi Higuchi, AuteurIn North America, spring migration routes and breeding distribution of northern pintails Anas acuta vary because some individuals opportunistically nest at mid-latitudes in years when ephemeral prairie wetlands are available, whereas others regu[...]
Article
Anthony D. Fox, Auteur ; Paul L. Flint, Auteur ; William L. Hohman, Auteur ; Jean-Pierre L. Savard, AuteurThis paper reviews factors affecting site selection amongst waterfowl (Anatidae) during the flightless remigial moult, emphasising the roles of predation and food supply (especially protein and energy). The current literature suggests survival d[...]
