A plethora of studies have offered crucial insights in the phylogeographic status of Western
Palearctic bird species. However, an overview integrating all this information and analyzing …

The current and rapid anthropogenic environmental changes could disproportionately
impact ecosystems, particularly when they affect species with critical roles in ecosystem …

Abstract Background Genes of the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) are essential for
adaptive immune response in vertebrates, as they encode receptors that recognize peptides …

Connectivity between golden eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) populations is poorly understood.
Field studies exploring natal dispersal suggest that this raptor is a philopatric species, but …

This book examines the current literature and knowledge on the evolution and ecology of all
the birds named as eagles, with particular emphasis on the larger species. It also examines …

Kin recognition has been shown in some bird species, suggesting that birds might be able to
actively avoid inbreeding through mate choice. However, the evidence for such behaviour in …

Existing parentage analyses of large raptors have mostly used naturally shed feathers as a
source of DNA. There is evidence that eagle nests are sometimes visited by conspecifics …
