. Natal dispersal (upper) and breeding dispersal (lower) of Barnacle Geese hatched or breeding
in the Netherlands. Dispersal distances are given in distance classes on the x-axis where the number
given represents the upper limit (in km) of each class. Birds that were classified as “having left” were
arbitrarily assigned a dispersal distance of 3,000 km, the approximate distance to the breeding grounds
of the Barents Sea population (see text).
