The endemic wildfowl of Madagascar and the Mascarene Islands:
An annotated bibliography
4th Edition
The islands that comprise the Malagasy Faunal Region host ten extant, resident
species of wildfowl Anatidae; all in Madagascar. A further five described and one
undescribed species are extinct including all endemic species (four) from the
Mascarene Islands. Madagascar today hosts the only surviving endemics:
Madagascar White-backed Duck Thalassornis leuconotus insularis, Madagascar
or Bernier’s Teal Anas bernieri, Meller’s Duck Anas melleri and Madagascar
Pochard or White-eye Aythya innotata. Two sheldgeese endemic to Madagascar
(Centrornis majori and Alopochen sirabensis), sheldgeese from Réunion
(Alopochen (Mascarenachen) kervazoi) and Mauritius (Alopochen mauritiana), a
small duck, possibly a grey teal, (Anas theodori) from Mauritius and Réunion and
an undescribed Aythya have become extinct since human colonisation of these
islands.
Anas melleri has been introduced to Réunion and Mauritius and Northern Mallard
Anas platyrhynchos to Mauritius, islands within the native faunal region of the
former species. A small number of migrant and vagrant wildfowl have been
recorded in the region with most records from Seychelles where no resident
species are known.
All surviving endemic ducks are currently threatened with extinction: A. innotata
is Critical; A. bernieri, A. melleri and T. l. insularis are Endangered. Madagascar
Pochard (from c.1920s-1940s and again since October 2009), Meller’s Duck and
Madagascar Teal (one in 1920s and since 1993) are currently held in captivity.
The endemic race of White-backed Duck is not currently held in captivity but has
been in the past.
In this bibliography I have attempted to include all references containing mention
of the endemic wildfowl, with the exception of world bird lists. General works on
the order Anseriformes and regional ornithologies have been included. News
media notes of the rediscovery of A. innotata (1991 and 2006), capture of A.
bernieri (1993), capture of A. innotata (2009) and first captive breeding of A.
bernieri (1998) have also been omitted unless they included original data and/or
photographs. General accounts on the species Thalassornis leuconotus have
been omitted unless including details of the Madagascan race.
Where subject matter is not obvious by the title the reference has been
annotated, occasionally simply with the species included. Sources are given for
references not checked by me.
It is intended that this bibliography will be of use in study of the endemic wildfowl
of the Malagasy Region and for those involved in conservation or captive
management. I would be grateful for any information concerning references
omitted and of any material published after October 2014. This bibliography will
continue to be updated.
