Very little is known on the exposure of high trophic level species to current-use brominated
(BFRs) and phosphorus flame retardants (PFRs), although observations on their …

Population viability analysis (PVA) has become a basic tool of current conservation practice.
However, if not accounted for properly, the uncertainties inherent to PVA predictions can …

Bonelli's eagle (Aquila fasciata) is a large bird of prey that breeds in warm regions of the
Palearctic. In Europe, it is mainly found in the Mediterranean region, in open or partially …

Dietary studies are essential to better understand raptor ecology and resource requirements
through time and space, informing species habitat use, interspecific interactions and …

The exposure to persistent pollutants such as organochlorine compounds (OCs) or metals
has been associated with declines in top predator populations, which can accumulate high …

Diet analyses are central to the study of avian trophic ecology, and stable isotope analyses
have made an increasing contribution in the last two decades. Few isotopic studies have …

Understanding the levels and drivers of contamination in top predators is important for their
conservation and eventual use as sentinels in environmental monitoring. Therefore, metals …

Some domestic waste disposal sites (DWDS) accumulate enormous amounts of food that
humans discard. This food resource is exploited by different species whose population …

Human activities cause changes to occur in the environment that affect resource availability
for wildlife. The increase in the human population of cities has led to a rise in the amount of …

The diet of wild animals has been studied using many different strategies, approaches and
methods in recent decades. In this regard, stable isotopes analysis (SIA) is becoming a …
