Sex specificity of behavioral dominance and fasting endurance in wintering canvasbacks: Experimental results Sex specificity of behavioral dominance and fasting endurance in wintering canvasbacks: Experimental results
Hand-reared canvasbacks (Aythya valisineria) of varying sex ratios were maintained in pens during winter 1980-81 (3M-3F, 6M-0F, 0M-6F) and winter 1981-82 (4M-2F, 2M-4F) and fed two diets (control and stress). They were observed during feeding trials to determine intrasexual and intersexual aggressive activity. There was little evidence that either diet or sex ratio affected the total...

Food habits and distribution of wintering canvasbacks, Aythya valisineria, on Chesapeake Bay Food habits and distribution of wintering canvasbacks, Aythya valisineria, on Chesapeake Bay
Baltic clams (Macoma balthica) were the predominant food items of 323 canvasbacks (Aythya valisineria) collected throughout Chesapeake Bay during 1970–1979. Natural vegetation constituted 4% of the food volume. Widgeongrass (Ruppia maritima) and redhead grass (Potamogeton perfoliatus) constituted the greatest percent volume and frequency of occurrence among the plant species, whereas...

Influence of nutrients on feed intake and condition of captive canvasbacks in winter Influence of nutrients on feed intake and condition of captive canvasbacks in winter
Dramatic changes in the food habits and distribution of canvasbacks (Aythya valisineria) in Chesapeake Bay during the 1970's generated a need to evaluate the nutritional value of food items and the requirements of this species on its wintering grounds. Groups of captive canvasbacks were maintained ad libitum on 5 diets during the winters of 1978-79 and 1979-80 to evaluate the effects of...

Blood chemistry and hematocrit of captive and wild canvasbacks Blood chemistry and hematocrit of captive and wild canvasbacks
Blood chemistry and packed cell volume (PCV) did not vary among groups of captive canvasbacks (Aythya valisineria) maintained ad libitum on 5 diets varying in metabolizable energy (ME) and protein. Ducks fed low quality diets increased their consumption so that all ducks were obtaining similar amounts of energy and protein. Some variables, including cholesterol, were found to differ...
