Breeding origin and migration pattern of dunlin ( Calidris alpina) revealed by mitochondrial DNA analysis
Abstract The large‐scale migration of birds has been studied extensively by recoveries of ringed birds. However, there is very little ringing data from the arctic breeding grounds of waders. Here, the migration pattern of the dunlin, Calidris alpina , is studied with population genetic markers, usin...
