Osteometry of Duck Species in Northwestern Europe—A Reassessment of Woelfle's (1967) Dataset
ABSTRACT This study revisits and expands upon Elisabeth Woelfle's (1967) foundational analysis of bone morphology and osteometry, which has long been a key reference for zooarcheological identification of duck species in northwestern Europe. By examining Woelfle's unpublished measuring protocols and incorporating 523 newly measured specimens, we ...

Our results demonstrate that to be effective in stimulating redistribution, an understanding of the drivers of site use is crucial for shooting‐based disturbance regimes. We emphasise the importance of providing refuges to encourage site use and highlight the importance of considering the spatio‐temporal coordination of shooting disturbance to ...
