To set up successful conservation measures, detailed knowledge on the dispersal and colonization capacities of focal species connectivity between populations is high relevance. We developed species-specific nuclear microsatellite molecular markers for grayling (Hipparchia semele), a butterfly endemic to Europe growing concern in North-West Europe, report its population genetics, fragmented, anthropogenic landscape Belgium. Our study included samples from 23 different locations nested two...
Abstract The extent to which geographical features like coastlines and mountain ranges funnel migrating birds depends on the seasonal context direction of migration. Near Batumi, in Republic Georgia, eastern Black Sea coast Lesser Caucasus over one million raptors through a 10-20 km wide coastal strip every autumn. funnelling effect appears much less evident for northbound migrants. Yet historical data suggest tens thousands pass region spring. To elucidate composition timing spring raptor...
Red Lists estimate the extinction risk of species at global or regional levels and are important instruments in conservation policies. Global List assessments readily available via IUCN website (https://www.iucnredlist.org) regularly updated by (taxonomic) experts. Regional Lists, however, not always easy to find often use local criteria assess species.Here, we publish a database with outcome 38 Flanders (northern Belgium) between 1994 2018. In total, contains 6,224 records 5,039 unique taxa...
"Watervogels - Wintering waterbirds in Flanders, Belgium" is a sampling event dataset published by the Research Institute for Nature and Forest (INBO). It contains more than 94,000 events (site counts), covering over 710,000 species observations (and zero counts when there no associated occurrence) 36 million individual birds period 1991-2016. The includes information on 167 different nearly 1,100 wetland sites. aim of these bird to gather size, distribution, long-term trends wintering...
