Extreme weather affects Peregrine Falcon (Falco peregrinus tundrius) breeding success in South Greenland
In order to better understand the potential effects of climate change on the Peregrine Falcon, we investigated the relationship between extreme weather events and Peregrines’ breeding success in South Greenland. We defined three variables – number of days with extremely low temperatures, extreme pre...
