Quacking for Change: Quacking for Change: Our Unparalleled Commitment to Sustainability and Social Justice

Dr. Waddle Wetfeather, Editor-in-Chief et al. | March 21, 2025

In an era where scientific journals are increasingly scrutinized for their environmental footprint and social consciousness, the Duck Behavior Journal is proud to highlight our long and distinguished history of progressive initiatives that demonstrate our unwavering commitment to sustainability and social justice. A Proud History of Inclusion Our commitment to social justice dates back to […]

From the Desk of Dr. Waddle Wetfeather, Editor-in-Chief

| March 8, 2025

Dear Esteemed Subscribers of the Duck Behavior Journal, TREMENDOUS NEWS! Our latest issue is ABSOLUTELY REVOLUTIONARY! I haven’t slept in SEVENTY-TWO HOURS because the research is TOO IMPORTANT to pause for biological necessities!!! The paper on mallard wing-flapping frequencies? MIND-BLOWING! Did you know ducks flap? I counted 347 flaps in 6 minutes while standing in […]

In Praise of Honest, Human-Generated Content!

Chad G. Peatea et al. | November 9, 2024

Certainly, here is a text that exemplifies the finest qualities of human-written content versus the widely acknowledged limitations often exhibited by AI-generated material. Dear Esteemed Editor, The Duck Behavior Journal, in particular, is a shining example of a publication that maintains the highest ethical standards when it comes to producing purely human-curated pieces. In fact, […]

An post marxist perspective on the paraducks of pond-etarianism

Anonymous et al. | October 22, 2024

Post-Marxist interrogation into the socio-economic structures of Anatidae society reveals a complex tapestry of interwoven hegemonic matrices and quackocratic articulations, forging an ontological symbiosis between aquatic proletariat and airborne bourgeoisie ducks. The metanarrative of avian capitalism manifests in the bifurcation of fluvial spaces, wherein riparian proletariat engage in laborious foraging, inherently subjugated by the hierarchical […]

Good Jornal

Reviwer 2 | September 1, 2024

Dear Editer of Duck Behavior Jornal, I am riting to say how happy I am with the papers in your jornal. Every time I read a paper, I find it very intresting and wel-supported. The authors always have new ideas about ducks that make me think. I dont understand why some people dont like these […]

Deep concerns regarding recent publications

Reviewer 1 |

As a long-standing member of the scientific community and a frequent reviewer for your journal, I feel compelled to voice my alarm at […]

The Quack Unveiled: A Tribute to Prof. Mallardus Quackwell’s Paradigm-Shifting Revelation

Mallory Duckstein | August 11, 2024

In the vast, ineffable expanse of our cosmos, where the pursuit of foundational truths often meanders through the labyrinthine corridors of abstraction, I am compelled to exalt the revolutionary insights of my esteemed colleague and cherished friend, Prof. Mallardus Quackwell. His audacious and transformative proposition that quacks, those seemingly ephemeral sonic phenomena emitted by ducks, […]

Reconsidering Duck Propulsion: The Definitive Role of Superconducting Feet and Magnetic Fields

Dr. Orville Quackston sen. | July 31, 2024

Dr. Orville Quackston criticizes recent theories on duck swimming mechanisms, which include quantum effects, spacetime manipulation, and nuclear fusion, as imaginative but fundamentally flawed. He argues that ducks propel themselves through water using superconducting feet that generate strong magnetic fields, interacting with Earth’s magnetic field. This magnetic propulsion is scientifically plausible and supported by the principles of magnetohydrodynamics. Dr. Quackston provides calculations to demonstrate the feasibility of this mechanism, asserting that a current of 1,000,000 A generated by superconducting materials is sufficient for duck propulsion. He urges the scientific community to abandon speculative theories and focus on investigating the role of superconducting materials in duck feet for a grounded explanation of their swimming abilities.

Reconsidering Duck Propulsion: The Role of Nuclear Fusion in Duck Feet

Dr. Orville Quackston Jr |

Dr. Orville Quackston proposes a radical hypothesis in a letter to the editor regarding duck swimming mechanisms. He suggests that ducks propel themselves via nuclear fusion in their feet, explaining both their propulsion efficiency and the distinctive orange coloration of their feet. According to Dr. Quackston, this fusion occurs at a biologically feasible temperature (~2500 K), which could emit light in the infrared spectrum but might lead to visible orange light through secondary emissions or interaction with carotenoid pigments. He calls for further biochemical and spectroscopic studies to validate this hypothesis and enhance understanding of duck capabilities.

Disputing Quantum Effects in Duck Swimming: The Case for Alcubierre Drive Propulsion

Dr. Beatrice Featherflow | July 28, 2024

Dr. Beatrice Featherflow addresses Dr. Drake Quackington, Prof. Mallory Mallardoc, and Dr. Featherston Waddleworth regarding their article on quantum effects in duck swimming. While acknowledging their innovative exploration of quantum mechanics, Dr. Featherflow proposes an alternative hypothesis: the concept of Alcubierre drive propulsion, which involves local spacetime manipulation. She suggests that ducks might achieve efficient propulsion by creating localized distortions in spacetime with their webbed feet, analogous to the theoretical Alcubierre drive. Dr. Featherflow argues that this explanation aligns better with observed swimming behaviors and encourages further research into this hypothesis.
