Use of linear features by red-legged partridges in an intensive agricultural landscape: implications for landscape management in farmland by Perrot, Charlotte, Seranne, Léo, Berceaux, Antoine, Noël, Mathias, Arroyo, Beatriz, Bacon, Léo

“…The aim of this study is to determine the importance of landscape heterogeneity and specifically linear features on the spatial distribution of red-legged partridges, a small game species in decline in Europe. Through GPS-monitoring of adult birds, we first assess home range size throughout the year and during the breeding season, in relation to breeding status and to linear features (seminatural linear vegetation and tracks-roads for human traffic) density. …”
