First description of nest-decoration behaviour in a wild sub-Antarctic shorebird
International audience A wide range of animal species accumulate objects in, on, and/or around structures they build. Sometimes, these accumulations serve specific functions (e.g. structural or isolating features) or are purely incidental, while in other cases the materials are deliberately displaye...
