Anas is a genus of dabbling ducks. It includes the pintails, most teals, and the mallard and its close relatives. It formerly included additional species but following the publication of a molecular phylogenetic study in 2009 the genus was split into four separate genera. The genus now contains 31 living species. The name Anas is the Latin for "duck".

Самец клоктуна Южноамериканская широконоска Пара шилохвостей Речны́е у́тки , или благоро́дные у́тки (лат. Anas), — род птиц семейства утиных. Включает в себя таких птиц, как крякв, свиязей, шилохвостей, чирков, широконосок и других птиц, разделённых на отдельные категории — подроды. Некоторые орнитологи предлагают повысить статус этих подродов до отдельных родов[1]. Мелких представителей этой группы именуют чирками, в остальном это утки среднего размера[2]. Селезни большинства видов демонстрируют яркие детали брачного наряда — в частности, в виде «зеркала» на второстепенных маховых. Населяют илистые отмели, неглубокие участки пресноводных водоёмов, вне сезона размножения иногда селятся в прибрежных маршах[3]. Питаются фито- и зоопланктоном, водорослями, мелкими беспозвоночными, которых добывают в верхнем слое воды и процеживают с помощью великолепно развитой системы, состоящей из широкого клюва с токними пластинами по краям, и мясистого шершавого языка — так называемым цедильным аппаратом. Иногда ныряют за кормом, погружая переднюю часть тела в воду,

Anas is a genus of dabbling ducks. It includes the pintails, most teals, and the mallard and its close relatives. It formerly included additional species but following the publication of a molecular phylogenetic study in 2009 the genus was split into four separate genera. The genus now contains 31 living species. The name Anas is the Latin for "duck".

==Systematics== The genus Anas was introduced by the Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus in 1758 in the tenth edition of his Systema Naturae. Anas is the Latin word for a duck. The genus formerly included additional species. In 2009 a large molecular phylogenetic study was published that compared mitochondrial DNA sequences from ducks, geese and swans in the family Anatidae. The results confirmed some of the conclusions of earlier smaller studies and indicated that the genus as then defined was non-monophyletic. Based on the results of this study, Anas was split into four proposed monophyletic genera with five species including the wigeons transferred to the resurrected genus Mareca, ten species including the shovelers and some teals transferred to the resurrected genus Spatula and the Baikal teal placed in the monotypic genus Sibirionetta.
