“Coastal” versus “inland” shorebird species: interlinked fundamental dichotomies between their life- and demographic histories? [PDF]
, 2003 In this contribution I present an extended but testable hypothesis (or “evolutionary scenario”) to explain how and why many life-history features of latitudinal migrant shorebirds, basically characterised by the correlation between habitat choice in the ...
