  • Linking Canadian Harvested Juvenile American Black Ducks to Their Natal Areas Using Stable Isotope ( D, 13C, and 15N) Methods

Linking Canadian harvested juvenile American black ducks to their natal areas using stable isotope ( d, 13c, and 15n) methods. Avian Conservation and Ecology 5(2): 7. [online] URL: http://www.ace-eco.org/vol5/iss2/art7/ Research Papers Linking Canadian Harvested Juvenile American Black Ducks to Their Natal Areas Using Stable Isotope ( D, 13C, and 15N) Methods Établissement de liens entre les Canards noirs juvéniles pris au Canada et leurs régions natales à l’aide des méthodes fondées sur les isotopes stables ( D, 13C et 15N) Paul Ashley 1 , Keith A. Hobson 2 , Steven L. Van Wilgenburg 2 , Norm North 3 , and Scott A. Petrie 1 ABSTRACT. Understanding source-sink dynamics of game birds is essential to harvest and habitat management but acquiring this information is often logistically and financially challenging using traditional methods of population surveys and banding studies. This is especially true for species such as the American Black Duck ( Anas rubripes ), which have low breeding densities and extensive breeding ranges that necessitate extensive surveys and banding programs across eastern North America. Despite this effort, the contribution of birds fledged from various landscapes and habitat types within specific breeding ranges to regional harvest is largely unknown but remains an important consideration in adaptive harvest management and targeted habitat conservation strategies. We investigated if stable isotope ( D, 13C, 15N) could augment our present understanding of connectivity between breeding and harvest areas and so provide information relevant to the two main management strategies for black ducks, harvest and habitat management.

The SDJV promotes the conservation of North American sea ducks through partnerships by providing greater knowledge and understanding for effective management. Its goals are to 1) work with partners to generate and disseminate knowledge that will inform management decisions and sea duck conservation in North America, and 2) increase awareness of sea ducks within the conservation, industrial, and scientific communities through the development and implementation of a strategic communications plan.
