Green-winged Teal (Anas carolinensis) Science Article 3 abstract A general warming of climate in the future may profoundly affect wildlife populations in terms of numbers, distribution and characteristics of the individuals, therefore leading to new challenges in terms of management and conservation. The effects of global warming can already be detected through the analysis of […]

Green-winged Teal (Anas carolinensis) Science Article 5 abstract The displays of the European race of the Green-winged Teal (Anas crecca crecca) have been studied intensively (Lorenz, 1953, 1958; Lorenz and von de Wall, 1960; von de Wall 1963) but no detailed description has been published for the North American race (A. c. carolinensis). McKinney, F, […]

Green-winged Teal (Anas carolinensis) Science Article 1 abstract Teal (Anas crecca) broods were studied in 1988-2003 in a boreal watershed comprising 51 permanent wetlands.

However, brood size of newly hatched ducklings was not […]

Green-winged Teal (Anas carolinensis) Science Article 2 abstract A teal (Anas crecca) and a thrush nightingale (Luscinia luscinia) were trained to fly in the Lund wind tunnel for periods of up to 3 and 16 h respectively.
