    • Declining peatland bird numbers are not consistent with the increasing Common Crane population 

      Fraixedas, Sara; Lindén, Andreas; Husby, Magne; Lehikoinen, Aleksi (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      The Common Crane (Grus grus) population has experienced an unprecedented increase across Europe during the last decades. Although cranes feed mostly on invertebrates, amphibians and berries during the breeding season, they ...
