1. Mallard ducks : mate choice and breeding success
Sammanfattning : .... LÄS MER
2. Large-scale releases of native species : the mallard as a predictive model system
Sammanfattning : Human alteration of natural systems, and its consequences are of great concern and the impact on global ecosystems is one of the biggest threats that biodiversity stands before. Translocations of invasive species, as well as intraspecific contingents with non-native genotypes, whether they are deliberate or unintentional, are one such alteration and its consequences are continuously being assessed.

3. Nest-exodus behaviour and nest-size selection of the mallard

4. Viruses on the wing : evolution and dynamics of influenza A virus in the Mallard reservoir
Sammanfattning : This thesis explores the evolution of avian influenza A viruses (IAV), as well as host-pathogen interactions between these viruses and their main reservoir host, the Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos). IAV is a genetically diverse, multi-host virus and wild birds, particularly dabbling ducks, are the natural reservoir. LÄS MER
5. Stopover Ecology of Mallards : Where, when and how to do what?
Sammanfattning : The mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) is the most numerous and widespread duck in the northern hemisphere and a model species in ecology and harvest management. Migration is a crucial life stage for many birds and understanding the drivers of migration has important implications for conservation biology and assessment of animal population responses to global changes.
