The HuntScience Podcast: Episode 25 - Dr. Phillip Lavretsky – Are Mallards in Trouble? Genetics Research and What we are Finding The HuntScience Podcast

On today's episode we have Dr. Phillip Lavretsky who is a wildlife geneticist with the University of Texas at El Paso. Dr. Lavretsky has been involved in wildlife genetics research that has involved a wide variety of different species, however his specialty lies with waterfowl. I came across Dr. Lavretsky’s work when I read some of his published research papers concerning the genetic introgression of mallard like game farm ducks into the north American wild populations. His research sheds light on an issue that I am quite sure most waterfowl hunters are not aware of, and one that needs to be discussed around the communities at a higher level than what we are seeing.
