Key Points

Migration patterns of hooded cranes reflect vital environmental needs and resource use, impacting their survival.
Key insights show the necessity for managing paddy fields as ecological units to support crane populations effectively.
Analysis across winter habitats emphasizes the role of supplementary feeding in addressing nutritional shortages during late winter.
These findings support the importance of protecting key stopover sites for hooded cranes in South Korea's ecological landscape.

Implication

Findings reveal important migration patterns and habitat usage for hooded cranes, suggesting enhanced management of paddy fields.

Abstract

Results suggest managing paddy fields and mudflats as a single ecological unit, protecting key stopover sites, and testing spatially dispersed supplementary feeding to buffer late-winter shortages. This study provides the fine-scale linkage between winter habitat use and migration in Hooded Cranes.
