Mallard brood movements and wetland selection in southwestern Manitoba

摘要: Wetland drainage has heavily impacted mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) breeding areas and decreased the amount of wetland area available to broods. Also, habitat selection by broods is poorly understood. Therefore, we investigated use broods, monitored availability, tested for monitoring 29 hens their via radio telemetry in southwestern Manitoba, 1987-89. Habitat availability varied (P 0.10)
