Effects of climate change on European ducks: what do we know and what do we need to know?
TLDR
A range of monitoring initiatives are proposed, including population surveys, breeding success monitoring schemes and individual duck marking, which should later be integrated through population modelling and adaptive management to fill gaps in information on climate change for ducks.

Presence of fish affects lake use and breeding success in ducks
TLDR
It is argued that observed patterns were caused by fish predation on ducks rather than by fish–duck competition for common prey, and a stronger effect of fish presence on diving ducks and small surface feeding ducks than on large surface-feeding ducks.

Is diet segregation between dabbling ducks due to food partitioning? A review of seasonal patterns in the Western Palearctic
Within the paradigm of resource-limited competition-structured communities, dabbling ducks (Anas spp.) have been used as a textbook example of how morphological differences, notably bill lamellar d…

Geese as vectors of nitrogen and phosphorus to freshwater systems
TLDR
The role of geese in the influx of nitrogen and phosphorus to freshwater systems is reviewed and an approach to improve estimates of the nutrient contribution of goose guanotrophication is developed.

Density dependence in ducks: a review of the evidence
TLDR
The picture of DD in ducks is far from complete, and knowledge gaps for future studies to address include: data from Russia, which holds a large part of the breeding ducks in the Northern hemisphere, and experimental studies on more species to separate density-dependent factors from other drivers of population change and to tease apart spatial and temporal interactions in the underlying processes.

Geographical and temporal patterns in the diet of pintail Anas acuta, wigeon Anas penelope, mallard Anas platyrhynchos and teal Anas crecca in the Western Palearctic
TLDR
Dabbling ducks are important quarry species, and as a result, they are relatively well studied, but the variations in sampling techniques and shortage of articles from the breeding season and some geographic regions highlight the need for future studies.

Hatching in dabbling ducks and emergence in chironomids: a case of predator–prey synchrony?
TLDR
It is argued that emergence patterns of chironomids on typical boreal lakes are neither compressed nor predictable enough to be a major selective force on the timing of egg-laying and hatching in dabbling ducks, and that other factors, e.g. habitat structure, also affect lake choice.

Survival Estimates, Mortality Patterns, and Population Growth of Fennoscandian Mallards Anas platyrhynchos
Long-term mallard capture—recapture data from Sweden and Finland were analyzed to describe temporal mortality patterns and reasons. We used program MARK and Seber models to estimate annual survival…

Low Cost Rainwater Harvesting: An Alternate Solution to Salinity Affected Coastal Region of Bangladesh
This study investigated the prospect of rainwater harvesting as a low cost alternative potable water supply option along the coastal region of Bangladesh, which is considered as one of the most…

Early springs and breeding performance in two sympatric duck species with different migration strategies
The capacity of migratory species to adapt to climate change may depend on their migratory and reproductive strategies. For example, reproductive output is likely to be influenced by how well migra…
