DOI: 10.1002/ece3.6720
Abstract: Abstract Many waterbird populations have become increasingly dependent on agricultural habitats for feeding. While habitat destruction has been proposed as a key reason forcing waterbirds to move from natural habitats to agricultural habitats, few have… read more here.
