Nutrient Reserve Dynamics of American Common Eiders in New Brunswick throughout the annual cycle
Project Number: 165
Year Funded: 2021
Lead Institution(s): Avifaune
Project Lead: Francis St. Pierre
Collaborator(s): Ray Alisauskas (ECCC), Scott Gilliland (CWS) Oliver Love (U Windsor)
Location: New Brunswick
Focal Species: Common Eider (Somateria mollissima)
Project Description: The primary objective for this study was to digitize a large historical dataset containing morphometric, lipid and protein content of American common eiders collected in 1984 and 1987 in New Brunswick. This dataset will be used to investigate the nutrient dynamics of Common Eiders over the annual cycle prior to their decline.
