Understanding Recovery Is as Important as Understanding Decline: The Case of the Crested Ibis in China [PDF]
Land, 2022 The wild population of the crested ibis (Nipponia nippon) has recovered remarkably from seven individuals in 1981 to over 7000 in 2021. However, it is unclear how key factors, from endogenous density dependence to exogenous environmental pressure, have ...
