Aquila chrysaetos and Aquila fasciata are two congeneric eagle species distributed in the
Mediterranean region which are supposed to compete for similar breeding and foraging …

The species–habitat relationships can change during the year because of the seasonality of
resources. Therefore, the investigation of habitat use by animals in each season plays a …

The winter months are an important part of the year for raptors as survival throughout this
period is critical for the succeeding year's population recruitment. We reveal novel insights …

Censusing wintering raptors has proved useful in detecting changes in populations. Israel is
a well-known bottleneck for soaring birds in the autumn and the spring. Despite the many …

Patterns of species occurrence, dispersion ability, habitat preferences and sampling time
can be important factors on the species composition. To understand effective roles of these …

As land-use cover types affect wintering birds' strategies, studying their habitat suitability for
species conservation is relevant. Predictive spatial models are considered excellent tools for …

Black kites of the nominal subspecies Milvus migrans migrans breed in Europe and winter
regularly in sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East. As a new phenomenon, black kites with …

Raptor populations on islands are limited by resource availability and the dispersal
possibilities for young birds, which are often determined by the size of the island. This leads …

Censusing wintering raptors has proved useful in detecting changes in populations. Israel is
a well-known bottleneck for soaring birds in the autumn and the spring. Despite the many …

This book is the result of a search for answers. Throughout several years observing
migratory raptors crossing mountains, seas and deserts we generated countless questions …
