Relationship between freshwater invertebrates and Northern shoveler Spatula clypeata in prenuptial stopover in two wetlands of Vendée (France)
"Income breeder", the Northern shoveler Spatula clypeata makes several stopovers between its wintering and breeding site in order to replenish its reserves and complete its pre-breeding migration. Freshwater invertebrates are the main prey of the Northern shoveler and are captured mainly b...

"Income breeder", the Northern shoveler Spatula clypeata makes several stopovers between its wintering and breeding site in order to replenish its reserves and complete its pre-breeding migration. Freshwater invertebrates are the main prey of the Northern shoveler and are captured mainly by filtration. This research project had three main objectives: (1) to understand the abundance, diversity, and habitat of freshwater invertebrates in two wetlands known for their high abundance of Northern shoveler, the Marais breton, and the Marais poitevin; (2) to study the environmental and nutrient characteristics of the habitats used by the Northern shoveler during its prenuptial stopover; (3) to define habitat management measures in favour of all of the species groups studied. This study showed that the ponds studied were abundant in freshwater invertebrates. The study defined four habitat typologies based on environmental variables and the presence of some key invertebrate taxa. During migratory stopover, the Northern shoveler used different habitats with a nychthemeral rhythm.
