High- Arctic waders are far less likely to return to the same breeding ground
A recent study shows that shorebirds breeding in the high‑Arctic tundra return to the same breeding grounds less often than shorebirds in forests, grasslands or arid regions, indicating a reduced site fidelity linked to arctic habitats.
