Abstract Lesser (Chen caerulescens caerulescens, LSGO) and greater snow goose (Chen caerulescens atlantica, GSGO) populations have increased substantially in the past 50 years. The light goose conservation order established in 1998 (Canada) and 1999 (U.S.) aimed to increase snow goose harvest and stabilize populations because breeding ground abundance was thought to negatively impact arctic ecosystems. In the Atlantic flyway, where LSGO and GSGO are both available for harvest, techniques to differentiate sub‐species in the field using morphology may be helpful for harvest management because mid‐continent LSGO are ~16 times more abundant than GSGO (n |
