Subspecies recognition in Knot Calidris canutus and occurrence of races in Western Europe

Based on migrant and winter specimens, 2 separate populations of Knot Calidris canutus are shown to occur in the Netherlands. Both are sufficiently differentiated to deserve recognition on subspecies level. Breeding range, migration routes, and winter areas of both these subspecies are defined. Addi...
