White-headed Duck (O. leucocephala) Areal Changes Movie (1810-2004s) http://biomodel.org.ua/?page_id=25
Scenario 1

Habitat changes modeling based on mean temperature in May of the 1950s and 1970s (GIS CCS).
The example demonstrates that theoretically these habitats have moved to the north (Krivenko, 2001) and/or to the north-west. (See a temperature condition map for the 1950s, enclosed additionally.) The [...]
