Modelling conservation management options for a southern range‐margin population of Golden Plover Pluvialis apricaria vulnerable to climate change
There is considerable interest in understanding how management may help species and populations cope with climate change (climate change adaptation). I used a population model describing the demography of a southern range‐margin European Golden Plover Pluvialis apricaria population vulnerable to cli...
