Current and future suitability of wintering grounds for a long-distance migratory raptor
Abstract Conservation of migratory species faces the challenge of understanding the ecological requirements of individuals living in two geographically separated regions. In some cases, the entire population of widely distributed species congregates at relatively small wintering areas and hence, the...
