About the Sea Duck Bibliography

The database was mainly based on searches in the Web of Science database through June 2023. Sources from these searches were limited to peer reviewed journals and occasional peer-reviewed conference proceedings. Sources outside of Web of Science searches were restricted to Birds of North America species accounts, Canadian Wildlife Service Technical Reports, and chapters from the book ‘Ecology and Conservation of North American Sea Ducks’. Papers describing observations of vagrants and hybrids were not included. Papers on avifauna of an area (e.g., “Birds of ____”) were not included unless observations of sea ducks constituted a major portion of the paper. Database searches included common North American species names (e.g., Surf Scoter, Common Eider, etc.), common European names (e.g., Goosander, Velvet Scoter, etc.), Latin names, as well as old and new names (Oldsquaw and Long-tailed Duck).
