Duckling Survival in a Brackish Marsh
May 17, 2024
We conducted a multi-year study (2016-2019) to quantify sources of duckling mortality, identify predator type, and estimate survival rates for Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) and Gadwall (Mareca strepera) ducklings within Suisun Marsh, California.

Waterfowl population recruitment is sensitive to duckling survival. We quantified predator types and survival rates for Anas platyrhynchos (Mallard) and Mareca strepera (Gadwall) ducklings in one of the largest brackish water marshes in western North America (Suisun Marsh, California) using 556 radio-tagged ducklings from 284 broods tracked during the 2016 to 2019 breeding seasons...
