Excerpt from Population Ecology of the Mallard, Vol. 2: Breeding Habitat Conditions, Size of the Breeding Populations, and Production Indices Climatic conditions have a considerable effect on the quality and quantity of waterfowl breed ing habitat which in turn influence waterfowl production and the distribution of birds on the breeding grounds. The effects of man's activities on waterfowl habitat, primarily through drain age, are also reviewed. The numbers of ponds are discussed in terms of climatic factors such as precipitation and temperature. Furthermore, annual numbers of May and July ponds in the prairie-parkland Area (southern portions of Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba) are dis cussed with respect to climatic conditions. Pi nally, relationships between breeding population density and indices to production are examined. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
