Fig. 3From: Differences in on-ground and aloft conditions explain seasonally different migration paths in Demoiselle craneActual migration (left) and simulated “reverse” migration path (right) of Demoiselle crane in relation to wind support (a, b), thermal uplift (c, d), temperature (e, f) and vegetation (NDVI; g, h) condition. The arrows indicate direction of (simulated) migration. Major staging sites where all birds stay during migration are highlighted by a numbered oval circle on the maps depicting on-ground conditions (e, f, g, h): 1- staging site in Inner Mongolia, 2-staging site near Aydar lake, south KazakhstanBack to article page
