Biometry data to reveal geographic variation in Bramblings Fringilla montifringilla
Abstract The Brambling Fringilla montifringilla has a large breeding distribution across the entire Palaearctic taiga region. Birds in the Far East are more brightly coloured and formerly separated as subspecies subcuneolata (S. Cramp & C. M. Perrins 1994; Handbook of the Birds of Europe, the Mi...
