Information parasitism in foraging Bar‐tailed Godwits Limosa lapponica
Foraging behaviour of sympatric Bar‐tailed Godwits Limosa lapponica and Whimbrels Numenius phaeopus was studied in the period prior to egg‐laying. Godwit females preferred wet bogs, while godwit males and Whimbrels foraged on dry palsas in the bogs. Habitat overlap between godwit males and Whimbrels...
