Minnesota Profile: Common Goldeneye (Bucephala clangula): Minnesota Conservation Volunteer: Minnesota DNR
Bucephala is from the Greek word boukephalos, which means ox-headed or buffalo-headed, in reference to the bird's big-looking head.
Clangula is Latin for "small noise," a reference to the whistling sound made by the bird's wings in flight.

 Ornis Svecica - Density dependent breeding success of Goldeneye [Bucephala clangula] at Angarnsjöängen   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Breeding data on Goldeneye [Bucephala clangula], from 1995 to 2002, are presented.
During this period the population increased from slightly less than 10 pairs to around 15 pairs although no nest boxes were provided.
These results suggest that Goldeneye has a negatively density dependent reproductive output in Angarnsjöängen, and together with similar results from a study conducted in Finland, it implies that this may be a general pattern in this species.

 Common Goldeneye — Birdhouse Network
In flight, the large white wing patches are highly visible, but more often the Common Goldeneye is identified in flight by the high whistling sounds made by its wings.
clangula (CLANG-u-la) is a reference to this phenomenon, which also gave rise to its colloquial name, the “whistler”.
Male juveniles can be mistaken for the Barrow’s Goldeneye, but the ranges of these two ducks don’t usually overlap.

 Human Disturbances to Waterfowl
The Cessna Skymaster's fast speed undoubtedly reduces survey efficiency through missed birds, but a slower-moving, noisier aircraft (Beaver) gives waterfowl more warning and may cause birds to flush so far in advance that they will be missed or misidentified.
Of these, the bay ducks (Aythya spp.), common goldeneye (Bucephala clangula), bufflehead (Bucephala albeola), and mergansers (Mergus spp.) were excellent subjects for aerial survey because of their tendency to form highly visible flocks, preference for shallow water, and relatively minor avoidance reactions to low-flying aircraft.
Long-tailed ducks (Clangula hyemalis) often dove before the aircraft reached them, further lowering counts.

ferina) and Common Goldeneyes (Bucephala clangula) commonly consume zebra mussels (de Vaate 1991, Olney 1963).
Hamilton (1992a) and Wormington and Leach (1992) found pieces of zebra mussel shell in eight waterfowl gizzards from Lake Erie (four Buffleheads [Bucephala albeola], two Lesser Scaups, one Greater Scaup and one Common Goldeneye).
The sample size in that study was small, however, and gizzard data are biased because of differential digestion rates of soft and hard food items (Swanson and Bartonek 1970).

Ruusila, V., Pöysä, H. and Runko, P. Female wing plumage reflects reproductive success in Common Goldeneye Bucephala clangula.
Some studies have found an association between different physiological, ecological or behavioural traits and female plumage, while others have found no association and interpret female plumage as neutral in function.
We observed a high variance among females in both wing plumage and breeding success in female Common Goldeneyes Bucephala clangula, a sexually plumage-dimorphic diving duck.

An essential prerequisite for relatedness to promote brood parasitism is accurate kin recognition, including the recognition of related hosts by parasites.
I performed a field experiment to address the accuracy of host recognition by parasites in the common goldeneye (Bucephala clangula), a cavity-nesting duck.
I studied whether parasites discriminate between experimental nests that did not have a host (i.e., new nest boxes that contained chicken eggs dyed to mimic the colour of common goldeneye eggs) and real nests that did have a host (i.e., active nests that progressed to incubation).
