Most species of migrating birds use a combination innate vector-based orientation programs and social information to facilitate accurate navigation during their life. A number various interspecies hybridisations have been reported in birds. The traits parents are expressed hybrids typical ways which either intermediate, combined or heterotic. Here, we analyse the different migration behaviours medium-sized raptors, i.e., Red Kites Milvus milvus, Black migrans, hybrids. We chose six...
ABSTRACT Anthropogenic activities threaten many wildlife populations by increasing mortality rates, making it crucial to identify the locations and causes of inform conservation actions. Technological advancements, such as GPS satellite tracking, enable precise recording movements. High‐resolution data from devices can facilitate rapid carcass recovery provide insights into tagged individuals. Obtaining required information determine these is complex, standardized approaches overcome...
Capsule Some birds of the central European population Red Kite Milvus milvus are non-migratory and winter within their natal area, whereas others migrate to southern Europe or even northern Africa.Aims To determine what factors affect area use communal roost by Kites wintering in area.Methods We studied spatiotemporal activity affecting tripoint border Austria, Czech Republic, Slovakia, using GPS/GSM telemetry devices.Results characterized home ranges used areas. Birds wintered for an...
The main reasons for the global biodiversity decline are destruction and degradation of natural habitats caused by human activity transforming them into agricultural lands. Although this transformation has been linked with decreased biodiversity, some bird species might have learned how to benefit from newly created habitats. We studied home ranges habitat preferences daytime roosting two sedentary Marsh Harriers (Circus aeruginosus) Evros Delta Mediterranean coast Iberian Peninsula using...
Migration and over-wintering strategy of raptors can be influenced by many factors such as sex, age experience birds, habitat variability food availability. Based on the telemetry data nine Red Kites (Milvus milvus), we observed in situ their wintering grounds southern Italy during winter 2019/2020. originated from Austria Czech Republic arrived to 10th September 5th December 2019 departed between 9th February 7th May 2020. Tagged stayed 73 207 days (mean 135±46 SD). These birds occupied...
Abstract The breeding behaviour of raptors is determined by many characteristics, such as courtship and mating patterns, nest building, foraging, territorial defence activities, clutch incubation, caring for the young. Here, we study Red Kite ( Milvus milvus ), a European native bird prey. From period between 2018 2022, analysed data 33 adult Kites (14 males 19 females) during 70 successful episodes in Austria, Czech Republic, Slovakia. Using satellite telemetry situ observations, found...
Milvus milvus es un rapaz común en áreas adecuadas de Austria, la República Checa y Eslovaquia durante estación no reproductiva. Sin embargo, el número exacto aves que pasan invierno estos países sigue siendo desconocido. A través enfoque integrado utilizando telemetría satelital, censos campo directos refugios nocturnos bases datos ciencia ciudadana, estimamos población invernante M. esta área 2020/2021. Basados tres realizados al inicio (28 noviembre 2020), a mitad (9 enero 2021) final (5...
