Year-round movements of Long-tailed Ducks Clangula hyemalis from Kolguev Island, Barents Sea
Abstract Arctic birds migrating southwards face a multitude of challenges such as habitat loss, pollution, overexploitation of food resources and climate change impacts. Long-tailed Duck winter populations in the Baltic Sea have declined in recent decades. However, precise spatial data are lacking,...
