Response of mallard ducklings to variation in habitat quality: an experiment of food limitation

2000-02-01

Abstract excerpt

Occurrence of Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) pairs and broods was studied on 86 boreal lakes in two areas in south Finland during 1988–1997 (35 lakes) and 1989–1996 (51 lakes), and field experiments were conducted to determine whether food limitation is an important factor regulating population densities. In general, pairs and broods used and avoided the same lakes, but in both study areas, the proportion of lakes t...
