Is the resident subspecies of the Eurasian spoonbill in Mauritania, <i>Platalea leucorodia balsaci</i> , threatened by introgression of genes from the migratory nominate subspecies <i>leucorodia</i> ? Open
Throughout its range, the Eurasian spoonbill Platalea leucorodia is migratory, but there is a well-documented exception in a population living in the Parc National du Banc d’Arguin in Mauritania. Based on their smaller body size, absence o…
Two decades of change in nonbreeding population sizes of shorebirds and other waterbirds in the Iwik area of Parc National du Banc d’Arguin, Mauritania Open
Migratory waterbirds depend on networks of wetlands during their seasonal migrations between breeding grounds and nonbreeding areas. The Parc National du Banc d’Arguin, Mauritania, is one such site that migratory waterbirds of the East Atl…
Low fitness at low latitudes: Wintering in the tropics increases migratory delays and mortality rates in an Arctic breeding shorebird Open
Evolutionary theories of seasonal migration generally assume that the costs of longer migrations are balanced by benefits at the non‐breeding destinations. We tested, and rejected, the null hypothesis of equal survival and timing of spring…
