Two willow warbler subspecies (Phylloscopus trochilus trochilus and Phylloscopus trochilus acredula) follow different migratory routes to wintering grounds in Africa. Their breeding populations overlap in contact areas or "migratory divides" located in central Scandinavia and in eastern Poland. Earlier analyses demonstrated that the...
