Editing Grebe (section)

===Habitat, distribution and migration===
Grebes are a nearly cosmopolitan clade of [[waterbirds]], found on every continent except [[Antarctica]]. They are absent from the [[Arctic Circle]] and arid environments. They have successfully colonized islands such as [[Madagascar]] and [[New Zealand]]. Some species such as the [[eared grebe]] (''Podiceps nigricollis'') and [[great crested grebe]] (''P.&nbsp;cristatus'') are found on multiple continents with regional subspecies or populations. A few species like the [[Junin grebe]] (''P.&nbsp;taczanowskii'') and the recently extinct [[Atitlán grebe]] (''Podilymbus gigas'') are lake endemics. During the warmer or breeding seasons, many species of grebes in the northern hemisphere reside in a variety of [[freshwater]] habitats like [[lake]]s and [[marsh]]es. Once winter arrives many will migrate to [[marine environment]]s along the coastlines. Grebes are most prevalent in the [[New World]] with almost half of the world's species native there.{{page needed|date=March 2023}}<ref name="Harrisonetal2021">{{cite book | last1 = Harrison | first1 =P. | last2 = Perrow | first2 =M. | last3 = Larsson | first3 =H. | year=2021 | title=Seabirds: The New Identification Guide. | publisher = Lynx Ediciones |location=Barcelona | isbn = 978-84-16728-41-1}}</ref>
