Use of various habitat types by nesting ducks on islands in the St. Lawrence between Montreal and Trois-Rivières / by Luc Bélanger et Denis Lehoux. : CW69-1/87E
The objective of our study was to describe the use of the islands by dabbling ducks and to assess the role of habitat characteristics (e.g., area, plant cover, human activities) in the selection of the islands by waterfowl. Our study was also designed to compare the value of the islands as waterfowl nesting sites and to identify those islands of highest priority for conservation efforts. Finally, we wished to develop management criteria (i.e., size shape, plant cover, and location) for the construction of new islands in the St. Lawrence River using dredged material.--Abstract
