Travelling to breed (2006, methodology): “Gauthier et al. (2003) successfully employed this technique to show that greater snow geese, Chen caerulescens atlanticus, are not pure capital breeders but incorporate local foods in components of the egg.”
Effects of agricultural change on abundance, fitness components and distribution of two arctic‐nesting goose populations (2005, background): “Hence, assuming that they rely on endogenous reserves for reproduction (Gauthier et al., 2003), an inverse relationship between breeding success and use of farmland habitats is expected if an agricultural diet fails to fulfil the nutritional needs of the geese.”
Factors affecting the site of investment, and the reliance on savings for arctic breeders : the capital–income dichotomy revisited (2006, methodology): “To breed successfully, usually (but not exclusively, e.g. Greater Snow Goose on Bylot Island; Choinière & Gauthier 1995, Gauthier et al. 2003) the birds must commence egg-laying soon after arrival (Fig.”
Lifetime nutrient dynamics reveal simultaneous capital and income breeding in a parasitoid (2005, background): “The dichotomy between capital and income breeders is a scheme that is increasingly used to understand the life history strategies of birds (Meijer and Drent 1999, Klassen et al. 2001, Gauthier et al. 2003), reptiles (Bonnet et al. 1998), and butterflies (Boggs 1997a, b, Bergström and Wilkund 2002).”
Applications of stable isotope analyses to avian ecology (2008, background): “For example, the δ13C of nutrient stores of many Snow Goose populations are very distinct from available nutrient sources in the Arctic (where the birds breed) because the birds forage on C4 maize during much of the winter (Gauthier et al. 2003).”
Migratory connectivity in Arctic geese: spring stopovers are the weak links in meeting targets for breeding (2007, background): “Intensive observations of individual Greater Snow Geese supplemented by sampling of body stores from birds collected both in the colony and along the flyway (Gauthier et al. 1992, 2003; Choiniere and Gauthier 1995; Bêty et al. 2003, 2004) provide a reliable budget for comparison.”
Isotopic ornithology: a perspective (2011, methodology): “(1989), Lajtha and Michener (1994), Michener and Lajtha (2007), Hobson and Wassenaar (2008) and West et al.”
STABLE ISOTOPES AND THE DETERMINATION OF AVIAN MIGRATORY CONNECTIVITY AND SEASONAL INTERACTIONS (2005, background): “Our current assumption that pa erns of isotopic discrimination associated with the mobilization of endogenous tissues are the same as those associated with an income carnivore model (Gauthier et al. 2003) have not been tested.”
Best practices for use of stable isotope mixing models in food-web studies (2014, background): “Gauthier et al. (2003) first applied the concentrationdependent model to examine the use of endogenous vs. exogenous food resources in birds.”
Individual variation in timing of migration: causes and reproductive consequences in greater snow geese (Anser caerulescens atlanticus) (2004, background): “However, based on the isotopic composition of tissues of birds departing from the main staging area and arriving on the breeding grounds, accumulation of additional body reserves appears limited (Gauthier et al. 2003, unpublished data).”
Climatic effects on the breeding phenology and reproductive success of an arctic‐nesting goose species (2008, background): “Snow cover and cold temperature can limit nesting site and food availability in spring, and prevent females from obtaining nutrients required for egg formation (Choinière & Gauthier, 1995; Gauthier et al., 2003).”
Stable Isotope Variability in Tissues of Temperate Stream Fishes (2005, result): “Muscle–gonad differences observed in this study may prove useful for future investigations of reproductive nutrient allocation in fishes, similar to previous investigations with birds (Gauthier et al. 2003).”
