Ian Henderson, Auteur ; John Calladine, Auteur ; Dario Massimino, Auteur ; Jennifer A. Taylor, Auteur ; Simon Gillings, AuteurCapsule The recent population decline of Whinchats has accelerated, including core breeding areas of Britain.

Simon Gillings, Auteur ; Ian G. Henderson, Auteur ; Antony J. Morris, Auteur ; Juliet A. Vickery, AuteurBetween 1988 and 2007, set-aside, a European Commission production control measure, took an average of 10% of arable farmland in the EU out of production each year. In 2007, the set-aside rate was set to 0% and the scheme was later abandoned alt[...]
Article
Simon Gillings, Auteur ; William J. Sutherland, AuteurKnowledge of diet and intake rates are useful first steps in understanding the distribution and behaviour of foragers.
