Genetic diversity of tufted ducks (Aythya fuligula, Anatidae) in Eastern Europe
Abstract The tufted duck (Aythya fuligula, Anatidae) is widespread in the Palaearctic across Northern Eurasia. Birds breeding in Northern and Eastern Europe are highly migratory, while populations from Western Europe are partially migratory or resident. The aim of this study is to explore genetic va...
