Post-breeding movements of northeast Atlantic ivory gull Pagophila eburnea populations.
11 pages International audience The post-breeding movements of three northeast Atlantic populations (north Greenland, Svalbard and Franz Josef Land) of the ivory gull Pagophila eburnea, a threatened high-Arctic sea-ice specialist, were studied between July and December 2007 using 31 satellite transm...
