- Abstract
The article discusses the study which aims to investigate the relationships between overwinter survival rates and surrogates for food availability such as rainfall and primary production indices during the same winter. It will also evaluate the proximate estimation of food availability on cereal production for sub-Saharan countries. Researchers have assessed annual variation in local survival rates of adult Turtle Doves breeding in western France and further examined whether survival was related to variation in environmental conditions experienced on their sub-Saharan wintering quarter. The study discovers the population dynamics of Turtle Doves in response to environmental conditions experienced on their wintering grounds.
