		Anas is the duck genus of birds of the sub-family Anatinae, order Natatores.
		Anatinae is the duck, Widgeon, Teal and Sheldrake sub-family of birds of the family Anatidae.
		The members of the sub-family are distinguished by a bill of equal width throughout, or broader at the top than at the base, of about the same length as the head; short legs placed behind the middle of the body; the hind toe being without a pendent membrane; and a somewhat round tarsi.

		The plumage of Anseranatinae and Anserinae taxa is generally sexually monomorphic, whereas Anatinae plumage is sexually dimorphic.
		Anseranatinae (Magpie Goose) is hypothesized as most basal within Anatidae, and sister to the group comprising Anserinae (swans and geese) and Anatinae (ducks).
		Within Anatinae, the composition of tribes Tadorini and Cairini have also been frequently revised.

		, also known as pochards, make up a sub-group of the biological subfamily Anatinae, which itself is part of the diverse and very large duck, goose and swan family, Anatidae.
		The exception is the Marbled duck Marmaronetta angustirostris, which is often alternatively classed as a pochard.
		The Marbled Duck (Marmaronetta angustirostris) is difficult to classify, but is often also placed in the diving duck group.

		Characteristics: Slightly compact in form, the females of the Anatinae tend to be drab brown.
		The males, however, boast iridescent green plumage on the head and neck, and a similarly iridescent blue speculum on the wings.
		General Demeanor: A very calm and simple people, the Anatinae tend to spend much of their time on or near the water, and are vegetarians by nature.

		Abstract: During 1987-90, we used high-altitude photography, aerial videography, counts, and models to estimate sizes of breeding populations of dabbling ducks (Anatinae) and duck production and to identify duck habitat on U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service land and easements and on private land in the prairie pothole region of the United States.

	PHYLOGENY AND COMPARATIVE ECOLOGY OF STIFF-TAILED DUCKS (ANATIDAE: OXYURINI)
		Characters in which the derived state(s) were possessed by single species (autapomorphies) were included in the analysis because of the pervasive influence such differences have had on traditional classification and because this permits estimates of evolutionary divergence and phenetic differences among species.
		Although the inclusion of Mergini and Oxyurini in the Anatinae is reasonably well supported (Livezey 1986), the relationships among the tribes of Anatinae remain poorly resolved (Livezey, unpubl.
		Polarities (directionalities of character change) were es- tablished by ascertaining the distributions of states of each character in the other tribes of Anatinae; these states were hypothesized to be the primitive conditions (plesiomorphous states) for the characters with respect to the ingroup (Oxyurini).

		Any of various relatively small, short-necked, large-billed waterfowl (several genera in subfamily Anatinae, family Anatidae).
		The legs of true ducks (Anatinae) are placed rearward (as are those of swans), resulting in a waddling gait.
		Most true ducks differ from swans and true geese (see goose) in that male ducks molt twice annually, females lay large clutches of smooth-shelled eggs, and both sexes have overlapping scales on the skin of the leg and exhibit some differences between sexes in plumage and in call.

		In true ducks, i.e., those classified in Anatinae, the legs are placed rearward, as in swans, resulting in a waddling gait.
		All true ducks, except those in the shelduck group and sea ducks, mature in the first year and pair only for the season--unlike the late-maturing, life-mating true geese and swans.
		The whistling duck species, also called tree ducks, are not true ducks but are more closely related to the geese and swans.

		The work aimed at the determination of the species composition as well as the intensity and prevalence of the nematode infection of the stomach of wild ducks (subfamily Anatinae) from NW Poland.
		The birds acquired for the study (143 specimens) represented three tribes of varied biology and ecology: Anatini, Aythyini and Mergini.
		The parasitic nematode fauna of the wild duck stomachs was noted to be quite abundant at the level of the host population (6 species: Eustrongylides mergorum, Hystrichis tricolor, Amidostomum acutum, Tetrameres fissispina, Streptocara crassicauda, Echinuria uncinata), though it was considerably plentiful in Anatini (5 species), and scarce in Aythyini (2 species).

	Anatidae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The listing in the box at right should be regarded simply one of several possible ways of organising the many species within the Anatidae.
		This group of larger, often semi-terrestrial waterfowl can be seen as intermediate between Anserinae and Anatinae.
		Recent revision has resulted in the inclusion of 10 extant genera with 23 living species (one probably extinct) in this subfamily, mostly from the Southern Hemisphere but a few in the Northern Hemisphere:

	II SUBFAMILY ANATINAE
		RIVER DUCKS The river ducks, also called surface-feeding ducks, occupy a central position among the Anatinae, between the sheldrake tribe of mostly grazing species and the diving tribe of pochards.
		The sea ducks generally have very elaborate displays which have little resemblance to those of any other Anatinae, except perhaps to some of the postures of the stiff-tailed ducks.
		All sea ducks live in the cold or temperate parts of the northern hemisphere, with the curious exception of two rare southern mergansers inhabiting Brazil (octosetaceus) and the Auckland Islands, south of New Zealand (australis).

		I interpreted positive relationships between tiger salamander density and phytoplankton standing crop as an indirect effect of nutrient recycling and transfer by tiger salamanders rather than direct consumer-resource interactions between trophic levels.
		I compared dietary and pothole overlap between ducks (Subfamily Anatinae) and tiger salamanders to estimate the potential for indirect interactions.
		I found that dabbling ducks had greater overlap in diet with tiger salamanders than diving ducks, but that diving ducks overlapped more among potholes with tiger salamanders than dabbling ducks.

	dabbling duck -- Encyclopædia Britannica
		They feed mainly on water plants, which they obtain by tipping-up in shallows—uncommonly by diving (with opened wings); they often forage near the shore for seeds and insects.
		These waterfowl are taxonomically placed into seven subfamilies: swans and typical geese, Anserinae; dabbling ducks and atypical geese, Anatinae; whistling ducks, Dendrocygninae; magpie goose, Anseranatinae; stiff-tailed ducks, Oxyurinae; shelducks, Tadorninae; and sea ducks, Merginae.
		Humans have long been studying the flight of birds and trying to imitate it.
