Does density dependence influence local recruitment of Common Goldeneyes?

<p>Examined 12 years of capture-mark-recapture data in a nest box population of Common Goldeneyes. Determined that in-situ female recruitment is lower in years following high conspecific nest box occupancy, wheras individuals of unknown recruitment origin were not affected by occupancy rates. Presented at the Ecology and Conservation of North American Waterfowl Conference/North American Duck Symposium 7, January 2013.
