It will be interesting to see if this defense becomes their downfall. As Mallard ducks become the predominant species in most of Eastern Canada, this selective breeding defense is less desirable. Mallards now make up the majority of the duck biomass displacing many other species for food and nesting area.
Could it be that Mallards do not have such similar genitalia??
Forced mating frenzies are quite common with Mallards with several males taking their turn. It is often a wonder the females do not drown.

Duck Love…
