Population genetic structure and conservation of the Lesser White-fronted Goose Anser erythropus
structure The lesser white-fronted goose is a sub-Arctic species with a currently fragmented breeding range, which extends from Fennoscandia to easternmost Siberia. The population started to decline at the beginning of the last century and, with a current world population estimate of 25,000 individu...
