Implication

This analysis shows how predator activity and nesting phenology impact Canada goose nest success, suggesting spatial patterns of risk are crucial for reproduction.

Key Points

Nests initiated earlier had a greater chance of hatching successfully, although this varied by location.
Geese selected nest sites that reduced encounters with foxes while maximizing detection of these predators.
Fox space-use patterns directly reflect predation risk, influencing both habitat selection and reproductive success.
The study reveals the interaction between predator activity and nesting strategies, emphasizing the importance of integrating spatial dynamics.
