Amount awarded: $6,400

This project objective is to test for and better understand the population structure of North American mallards, particularly focusing on eastern populations. Specifically, the aim is to determine the extent of game-farm genetics found across North America, and whether their less adaptive genetics may be leading to the overall decline of eastern mallard populations.
