Audouin 's gull movements: The book !

New book on Audouin's gull spatial ecology

Monograph published by SEO/BIRDLIFE

Just hot off the presses, the monograph is an up-to-date study about the spatial ecology and migration of the Audouin’s gull, by exploiting radio-tracking data collected by SEO/BirdLife combined with more than 63000 ring resights performed by GEP corresponding to more than 45000 chicks ringed over the years. The book includes many figures and maps elaborated using information from those resights and GPS and satellite tracking data from several colonies in the Spanish Mediterranean. The publication largely contributes to understanding the phenology and spatio-temporal distribution patterns of the species across the year, including its migration routes. The text is in Spanish with an English summary. Last but not least, do not miss the nice pictures included! You can have a look at the pdf freely available here:
