Survival of Mallard broods in Benton Lake National Wildlife Refuge in north central Montana Survival of Mallard broods in Benton Lake National Wildlife Refuge in north central Montana
We estimated duckling survival in broods of 31 radio-marked female mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) on Benton Lake National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) in northcentral Montana in 1985 and 1986. Overall survival for the 60-day prefledging period was 0.3951, and 87% of all duckling losses occurred within the first 18 days. Survival through the Class I interval (0.4664) was lower (P 0.05) than...
