Approaches, field considerations and problems associated with radio tracking carnivores Approaches, field considerations and problems associated with radio tracking carnivores
The adaptation of radio tracking to ecological studies was a major technological advance affecting field investigations of animal movements and behavior. Carnivores have been the recipients of much attention with this new technology and study approaches have varied from simple to complex. Equipment performance has much improved over the years, but users still face many difficulties. The...

Mathematics and mallard management Mathematics and mallard management
Waterfowl managers can effectively use simple population models to aid in making management decisions. We present a basic model of the change in population size as related to survival and recruitment. A management technique designed to increase survival of mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) by limiting harvest on the Chippewa National Forest, Minnesota, is used to illustrate the application...

Mate preference in wild and domesticated (game-farm) mallards: II. Pairing success Mate preference in wild and domesticated (game-farm) mallards: II. Pairing success
Experiments were designed to determine whether assortative mating occurs in wild and game-farm mallard strains (Anas platyrhynchos). Mallard males of either strain raised with females of their own strain courted females of their own strain more than females of the opposite strain, and these males were only successful in pairing with females of their own strain. Males raised with females...
