Additionally, we compared migration movements of wild, free-ranging mallards harnessed with functional GPS satellite transmitters to movements of the greater population of unmarked birds during the non-breeding season.
Using an Internet Map Server (IMS) site to track mallard migrations has allowed for AGFC biologists and the public to witness mallard migration in near “real-time.” Providing an answer to the much begged, “Where are all the ducks?”
Our objective was to use these mallard satellite telemetry locations to characterize migration of mallards during the autumns of 2004–2007 to 1) document the timing, length, duration, and spatial patterns of autumn migration, and 2) investigate sexand year-specific variation in those variables.
5 sty 2022 · We used data from individual satellite-tracked mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) to model the timing and environmental drivers of autumn migration movements at a continental scale.
1 wrz 2014 · We simultaneously evaluated effects of satellite telemetry equipment on captive and wild mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) to assess impacts on behavior, body mass, and movement.
Map showing the distribution of transmitter deployments on eastern mallards in the Atlantic Flyway. We aim to deploy >1,100 GPS-ACC devices on hen mallards in the Atlantic Flyway and 700 GPS-ACC devices on hen black ducks in the Atlantic and Mississippi Flyways.
While no longer online, this website provided a unique opportunity for the public to track the mallard migration as it unfolded across this continent. Tracking individual birds offers a fascinating look at the variation in duck behavior and the birds' habitat preferences.
