Current estimates of goose population sizes in western Europe, a gap analysis and assessment of trends
We estimated the size of 30 defined populations of geesewintering in the Western Palearctic (including five releasedor reintroduced populations of three species).Fourteen populations were accurately estimated from almostfull count coverage or robust sampling and ten werewell estimated based on more...
