Quantum redactiones paginae "Anas (genus)" differant

▲'''''Anas''''' is a [[Genus (taxinomia)|genus]] of dabbling ducks. The genus name is the [[Lingua Latina|Latin]] for "duck".<ref name="job90">{{Cite book|last=Jobling|first=James A|year=2010|title=The Helm Dictionary of Scientific Bird Names|page=46|location=London|publisher=Christopher Helm|isbn=978-1-4081-2501-4|ISBN=978-1-4081-2501-4}}</ref> It includes [[Anas platyrhynchos|mallards]], wigeons, teals, pintails and shovelers in a number of subgenera. Some authorities prefer to elevate the subgenera to genus rank. Indeed, as the moa-nalos are very close to this clade and may have evolved later than some of these lineages, it is rather the absence of a thorough review than lack of necessity that this genus is rather over-lumped. However, there are 42 species verified by ITIS, and the [[Consociatio internationalis ad naturam conservandam|IUCN]] recognizes 46 species.
