We review progress in our understanding of the importance of waterbirds as dispersal
vectors of other organisms, and identify priorities for further research. Waterbirds are …

Identifying an organism's migratory strategies and routes has important implications for
conservation. For most species of European ducks, information on the general course of …

Explaining changes in waterfowl distribution and abundance is requested by wetland
managers for a better understanding of their population dynamics and habitat use. The …

Mid-winter sea surface temperatures in the Barents and Kara Seas have shown amplified
warming since the mid-2000s, rapidly removing winter sea-ice from very extensive areas …

Understanding full annual cycle movements of long-distance migrants is essential for
delineating populations, assessing connectivity, evaluating crossover effects between life …

Eurasian migratory duck species represent a natural resource shared between European
countries. As is evident throughout human harvest history, lack of coordinated management …

We used ringed‐recoveries to assess: 1) the connectivity (movements of individuals)
between the three putative flyways (north–west Europe, central Europe, south–west Asia) of …

Proper delineation of flyways is a prerequisite for adequate management of migratory birds.
The implementation of coordinated international management for greylag goose (Anser …

Duck species are important vectors for seed dispersal of many plants, contributing
significantly to the regeneration of wetland plant communities. However, research on the …

Ringing and visual marking have long been used to delineate bird distribution ranges, but
neither method is free from biases linked with differential re-encounter probabilities over the …
