The Far East taiga forest: unrecognized inhospitable terrain for migrating Arctic-nesting waterbirds?
The degree of inhospitable terrain encountered by migrating birds can dramatically affect migration strategies and their evolution as well as influence the way we develop our contemporary flyway conservation responses to protect them. We used telemetry data from 44 tagged individuals of four large-b...
