| Abstract | Demographic monitoring is vital for tracking and modelling the population dynamics of highly mobile bird populations. However, different types of monitoring can sometimes lead to different outcomes, and understanding the causes of equivocal results is an important step to advance future monitoring schemes. This study found consistent seasonal variation in Eurasian Wigeon Anas penelope sex and age ratios among Danish hunter-based wing surveys, and describes how accounting for this variation might explain reported discrepancies between this and other monitoring methods. Early season flocks were dominated by adult males, and juvenile proportions were highest in November and significantly lower before and after this peak. Nationwide field assessments undertaken in January 2012 showed no significant differences from sex and age ratios in the wing survey data from that particular hunting season (2011/2012), indicating that this survey is a good predictor of Wigeon demography. These results highlight the need to account for consistent temporal variation in such demographic time series when using the results to model population parameters. Jahreszeitliche Schwankungen in Geschlechterverhältnis und Altersstruktur bei der Eurasischen Pfeifente ( Anas penelope ) anhand von Erhebungen durch Jäger Für die Nachverfolgung und Modellierung populationsdynamischer Prozesse ist bei hochmobilen Vogelpopulationen ein demographisches Monitoring von entscheidender Bedeutung. Unterschiedliche Arten des Monitorings können jedoch gelegentlich zu unterschiedlichen Resultaten führen, und das Verständnis der Ursachen von mehrdeutigen Ergebnissen ist ein wichtiger Schritt in der Entwicklung zukünftiger Monitoring-Systeme. In den Erhebungen dänischer Jäger fanden sich durchgängig jahreszeitliche Schwankungen im Geschlechterverhältnis und in der Altersstruktur der Eurasischen Pfeifente (Anas penelope); diese Studie beschreibt, wie die Berücksichtigung solcher Unterschiede eventuell die Diskrepanzen zwischen den Ergebnissen aus unterschiedlichen Monitoring-Methoden erklären könnte. Schwärme zu Beginn der Saison wurden von adulten Männchen dominiert, während der Anteil junger Vögel im November am höchsten und vor und nach diesem Spitzenwert signifikant niedriger war. Im Januar 2012 landesweit durchgeführte Freiland-Bewertungen zeigten keine signifikanten Unterschiede im Geschlechterund Altersverhältnis zu den Erhebungen dieser speziellen Jagdsaison (2011/2012), was nahelegt, dass eine solche Erhebung ein guter Prädiktor für demographische Aussagen bei Pfeifenten ist. Diese Ergebnisse unterstreichen die Notwendigkeit, konsistente zeitliche Schwankungen in derartigen demographischen Zeitreihen zu berücksichtigen, wenn die Ergebnisse dazu benutzt werden, Populationsmerkmale zu modellieren. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
