註釋This booklet is about DUCKDATA, a data base containing more than 6,700 references to the ecology of waterfowl and their wetland habitats. (The book does not contain the actual database). The emphasis is on North American waterfowl (specifically, ducks and geese), but English-language publications that concern other Holarctic species or address relations of general interest are included. The bibliographic data are in computer files that can be edited, updated, and searched using a microcomputer and database management software. Analysis of the bibliographic records indicates that the average number of waterfowl publications appearing each year increased from 2 between 1900 and 1909 to more than 250 between 1980 and 1989. Growth of the literature was exponential through the 1970s, the number of references doubling every 10 to 12 years, though slowing in the 1980s. Access to the waterfowl data base can help wildlife researchers, managers, and educators prepare proposals, manuscripts, reading lists, and management plans.
