Effects of climate change on European ducks: what do we know and what do we need to know? (2013, background): “Indeed, newly hatched precocial young of dabbling ducks Anas spp., in particular, have poor thermoregulation capacity (Koskimies & Lahti 1964), leading to decreased survival under harshweather (Bengtson 1972,Krapu et al. 2000, Pietz et al. 2003).”
Valuing ecosystem and economic services across land-use scenarios in the Prairie Pothole Region of the Dakotas, USA (2011, background): “(3)–(7)) and Krapu et al. (2000) to estimate production parameters for 5 upland nesting duck species [mallard (Anas platyrhynchos), gadwall (Anas strepera), bluewinged teal (Ana discors), northern shoveler (Anas clypeata) and northern pintail (Anas acuta)] for years 1992–2004.”
Effects of Spring Body Condition and Age on Reproduction in Mallards (Anas Platyrhynchos) (2008, background): “…larger clutch sizes, may be more optimally timed for aquatic food abundance or availability (Haramis 19�5, Dzus and Clark 1998), allow higher duckling survival (Krapu et al. 2000), and allow ducklings more time to complete development before fall migration (Hepp et al. 1986, Johnson et al. 1992).”
