At a regional scale, little bustard distribution shows a clear relationship with temperature-related variables, but also a strong conspecific attraction and a tendency to philopatry at a local scale, making it especially ...

An ecological trap occurs when, by various mechanisms, low‐quality (yielding low fitness) habitat is more attractive than good habitat, thus coaxing individuals to settle there despite a resultant loss of fitness. Empirical work on such traps has increased dramatically in the past
