Resource Abstract:
- description: The goal of this project is to determine the recruitment potential of mallards and other dabbling ducks for use
in assessing the effectiveness of management policies. Specifically, the research will determine: (1) the magnitude of recruitment
that can be attained through the use of specified, available management techniques, (2) the level of population density that
will result from increased recruitment, and (3) the biological factors that will ultimately limit the size of the breeding
population. Without this type of information, it is not possible to predict the potential results of management practices
designed to maximize mallard production in the northern prairie region. This information will put predictions of the outcome
of mallard management on a firm biological basis and will enable waterfowl managers to examine the cost-effectiveness of proposed
duck management methods. The Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center assembled a small unit management research team to
address 10 separate tasks, each with their own project leader, study areas, objectives, and results. The details of each of
these tasks are expanded upon in the document. The study is being conducted on 3 replicates in the following biogeographic
regions; the Missouri Coteau (Kulm, ND), the Drift Plain (Jamestown, ND), and the Fergus Falls Till Plain (Detroit Lakes,
MN). The USFWS Region 3 and 6 are listed as a small unit management research cooperator in that they provided personnel to
help in the breeding pair surveys; provided and helped select study sites, planted and maintained all nesting cover at study
sites, and conducted the predator removal program at Detroit Lakes and Fergus Falls.; abstract: The goal of this project is
