Connectivité globale pour Flamant rose

There is a high degree of interchange between different regions, resulting in very high overlap and low connectivity.The majority of movements are across the Mediterranean basin, where breeding birds from different regions mix outside the breeding season. Recoveries, therefore, support genetic studies which show that Mediterranean colonies are a single population with a common natural history (Geraci et al. 2012). There are exceptional movements from the SW European breeding nuclei to NW Europe (up to The British Isles). Migration to W Africa detected for the SW/W European Flamingos. Breeding dispersal is usual  and is directly linked to the conditions at breeding sites: higher colony fidelity occurs in less variable environments (Nager et al. 1996).
