Ecology

This page is still in pretty heavy development.... However, we do have some basic information.... Also, check here often, as new research will be published often... All new presentations and talks will have links to the presentation, and perhaps text if available. For now take a look at what we've got!

STATUS/HISTORY LINKS

Population Indices of Black Brant (1960-1998) - Based on mid-winter surveys in Mexico and Pacific Coast. This chart does not include British Columbia or Alaska numbers. This allows the graph to go back to 1961 instead of 1986.
Distribution of Brant in Canada - A link on population status, and a little life history data from Canadian Wildlife Service.
Status and History of Brant in British Columbia - Link to the Royal British Columbia Museum
