Current estimates of goose population sizes in western Europe, a gap analysis and an assessment of trends
We estimated the size of 30 defined populations of geese wintering in the Western Palearctio (including five released or reintroduced populations of three species). Fourteen populations were accurately estimated from almost full count coverage or robust sampling and ten were well estimated based on...
