		In this study we documented the chronology of pair formation in a population of wintering Harlequin Ducks (Histrionicus histrionicus) in southwestern British Columbia.
		A small (60 - 100 birds) molting and wintering population of Harlequin ducks (Histrionicus histrionicus) was studied from June to November 1995 to assess the molting and pairing chronology of this population.
		We estimate both movement and survival of a molting and wintering population of Harlequin Ducks (Histrionicus histrionicus) in coastal southwestern British Columbia.

	Surgical and immediate post-release mortality of harlequin ducks (Histrionicus histrionicus) implanted with abdominal ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		Radiotelemetry is an essential tool in the study of free-ranging bird populations and a variety of transmitter attachment methods have been developed.
		Of 307 radio implant surgeries done in 1995 through 1997 in Harlequin Ducks (Histrionicus histrionicus), we documented 7 (2.3%) deaths during surgery and anesthetic recovery and 10 (3.3%) deaths in the immediate post-release period.
		Modifications to anesthetic procedures in the 204 surgeries done in 1996 and 1997 corresponded to reduced mortality rates of 1.5% during surgery and 1.5% during the immediate post-release period.

	Birds and Nature: Harlequin Duck
		The Harlequin Duck is the sole representative of the genus to which it belongs.
		The generic and the specific names (Histrionicus), which unfortunately the strict rules of scientific naming require in the case of this bird to be the same, are from the Latin word meaning harlequin.
		This word, meaning a buffoon, is especially appropriate, for the arrangement of the colors on its head, neck and back give the bird a peculiar appearance, especially during the mating season.

	EVALUATION OF BURSAL DEPTH AS AN INDICATOR OF AGE CLASS OF HARLEQUIN DUCKS
		Our objective was to assess the utility of bursal characteristics for esti- mating age classes of Harlequin Ducks (Histrionicus histrionicus) by ex- amining rates of discrepancies in age class designations of individuals over two or more capture events.
		In the absence of a known age sample, dis- crepancy rates provide a useful measure of reliability of bursal depth as an indicator of age class.
		We contrasted the estimated age class of recaptured Harlequin Ducks (Histrionicus histrionicus) (n = 255) based on bursal depth with expected age class based on bursal depth at first capture and time since first capture.

		The distribution, phenology, and prey of Harlequin Ducks, Histrionicus histrionicus, in a Cascade Mountain stream, Oregon.
		We examined the phenology, abundance, and in-stream habitat use of Harlequin Ducks (Histrionicus histrionicus) and their primary prey, the caddisfly larvae Dicosmoecus gilvipes, in a Cascade Mountain stream from 1994-97.
		After a severe flood in early 1996, we observed reductions in overall harlequin numbers, a seasonal delay in brood development, and a decrease in abundance of D.

	Harlequin Duck: Wildlife Notebook Series - Alaska Department of Fish and Game
		The male harlequin duck (Histrionicus histrionicus) is a colorful, compact sea duck inhabiting Alaska's coasts for most of the year.

		Alasdair MacIntyre offers an amusing story in After Virtue to show how particular events receive their meaning in the context of a story.
		He imagines himself at a bus stop when a young man standing next to him says: "The name of the common wild duck is histrionicus, histrionicus, histrionicus." One understands the meaning of the sentence.
		But what on earth is he doing in saying it in the first place.

		This is the only duck on the North American continent to nest close to fast-running water.
		The name "Harlequin" comes from the comic character of 17th century Italian commedia dell'arte whose costume was sewn from diamond-shaped pieces of multicoloured fabric, a bit like the livery of our adult male duck.
