Winners and losers of land use change: A systematic review of interactions between the world’s crane species (Gruidae) and the agricultural sector
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8719
Abstract: While agricultural intensification and expansion are major factors driving loss and degradation of natural habitat and species decline, some wildlife species also benefit from agriculturally managed habitats. This may lead to high population densities with… read more here.
