Brood Success

Brood desertion by radio-equipped female gadwalls (Anas strepera) was examined to test three hypotheses regarding proximate factors responsible for post hatch brood abandonment in waterfowl. Gadwall broods with the greatest duckling mortality, independent of brood size, were more likely to be abandoned, providing support for the "brood-success" hypothesis. Our results do not support the "brood-size" hypothesis, as the size of broods immediately prior to female abandonment was no smaller than the size of broods not abandoned. Although brood fate was not related to female body condition, the "salvage-strategy" hypothesis could not be rejected, because experience was a confounding factor and could not be sampled adequately; younger, possibly less-experienced females were more likely to abandon their broods than older females. Further studies, preferably involving experimental manipulations, are needed to adequately address the full array of hypotheses.
