Allowed Values | Feeding: Areas and times within which aggregations of a particular species preferentially feed. These either may be persistent in space and time or associated with ephemeral features that are less predictable but are located within a larger area that can be delineated. | Migration: Migratory Corridor - Areas and times within which a substantial portion of a species is known to migrate; the corridor is spatially restricted. | Reproduction: Reproductive Area - Areas and times within which a particular species selectively mates, gives birth,or is found with neonates or calves. | Small and resident: Small and Resident Population - Areas and times within which small and resident populations occupy a limited geographic extent. | |
