DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2016.10.038
Abstract: In northern urban areas, wastewater treatment ponds (WWTPs) may provide a thermal refuge during winter (~10°C) that is used by normally migratory mallards (Anas platyrhynchos). On the ponds, mallards may experience stress due to crowding,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2017.04.021
Abstract: Rather than migrating, mallard ducks may choose to overwinter in northern cities on open-water thermal refuges, such as municipal wastewater treatment ponds, which in Edmonton, Canada, stay ≥10°C during frigid winter months. Refuging mallards spend… read more here.

Cranial joint histology in the mallard duck (Anas platyrhynchos): new insights on avian cranial kinesis
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Journal of Anatomy"
DOI: 10.1111/joa.12562
Abstract: The evolution of avian cranial kinesis is a phenomenon in part responsible for the remarkable diversity of avian feeding adaptations observable today. Although osteological, developmental and behavioral features of the feeding system are frequently studied,… read more here.
