Autumn migration tracks of Helopsaltes grasshopper‐warblers from Northeast Asia support recent taxonomic assignments
Abstract Migration strategies are genetically inherited in most songbirds, and closely related species can exhibit markedly contrasting migration programs. Here, we investigate the autumn migration of one Helopsaltes grasshopper‐warbler from a population near Magadan, North East Russia, based on lig...
