The biogeography of grebes
Abstract Grebes have a worldwide (cosmopolitan) distribution (Fig. 5.1), but they are poorly represented in tropical lowlands, and are absent from the high arctic (and Antarctic) regions. The strongholds of grebes are in the temperate steppe biomes and forest/steppe transitions, where the majority o...
