Content Type

Draft genomes of two strains of Escherichia coli, FP2 and FP3, isolated from the feces of the Canada goose (Branta canadensis), were sequenced. Genome sizes were 5.26 Mb with a predicted G+C content of 50.54% (FP2) and 5.07 Mb with a predicted G+C content of 50.41% (FP3).

Incubation Periods

Canada goose clutches situated on islands in Dowling Lake and Lake Newell, Alberta, were checked from laying to hatching. Egg-laying intervals averaged 1.87 days and incubation periods 26.8 days. The distribution of nests showed a significant deviation from randomness in the direction of uniform spacing. Causes of extensive hatching failure at Dowling Lake were predation and desertion. Predation by coyotes was facilitated by low water levels. A preference for nesting on islands appears to be a mechanism to counteract mammalian predation.

Electromyographic Recording

The musculature of the Canada goose, Branta canadensis, was examined anatomically, physiologically, and behaviorally to determine which muscles best define the normal locomotor cycles for flying and walking. Muscle selection was based on a muscle outlining a distinct phase of normal locomotion, as well as being readily accessible for percutaneous implantation of electromyographic recording electrodes. In the hindlimb, the iliotibialis cranialis (ITC) and flexor cruris lateralis (FCL) are superficial muscles which clearly define the swing and stance phases, respectively, during walking. Similarly, the deltoideus major and pectoralis muscles clearly delineate the elevator and depressor movements of the wings. A compendium of synonymous muscle names is included to reduce the confusion surrounding avian nomenclature.
