Lack of competition between barnacle geese Branta leucopsis and pink-footed geese Anser brachyrhynchus during the pre-breeding period in Svalbard / Anthony D. Fox, Espen Bergersen.
Title: | Lack of competition between barnacle geese Branta leucopsis and pink-footed geese Anser brachyrhynchus during the pre-breeding period in Svalbard / Anthony D. Fox, Espen Bergersen. |
Author(s): | Fox, Anthony D. Bergersen, Espen. |
Date: | 2005. |
In: | Journal of Avian Biology. (2005.), Vol. 36(3) (2005) |
Abstract: | Observation of feeding ecology of barnacle and pink-footed geese during pre-nesting period (late May) in Sassendalen, Svalbard, showed little overlap in diet. Barnacle geese fed almost exclusively by grazing above-ground plant material in moss-mat habitats. Pink-footed geese fed on below-ground parts of plants away from snow edges and were more evenly distributed between habitat types. |
