This paper reviews the literature on survival estimates for different species of raptors and
owls, examines the methods used to obtain the estimates, and draws out some general …

Technological innovations have led to exciting fast-moving developments in science. Today,
we are living in a technology-driven era of biological discovery. Consequently, tracking …

Radiotelemetry is the standard method for monitoring wild turkey (Meleagris gallapavo)
movements and habitat use. Spatial data collected using telemetry‐based monitoring are …

Natal dispersal is the time elapsed between departing from the natal site and settling to
attempt breeding for the first time. In long-lived species with deferred sexual maturity this …

Thirteen juvenile Golden Eagles Aquila chrysaetos were tracked during their first year of life
using satellite telemetry. Distances to the nest attained during that period and the age at the …

Animal movement patterns and use of space depend upon environmental resources (ie,
food availability), and on conspecific and interspecific interactions. We studied the home …

Background Dispersal comprises three broad stages-departure from the natal or breeding
locations, subsequent travel, and settlement. These stages are difficult to measure, and vary …

In long-lived raptors with delayed maturity, the period between fledging and settlement on a
breeding site may take several years and is poorly understood. In our study of a …

The use of systematic area-selection procedures to design protected areas can help
optimize conservation actions. However, this process has rarely been used to identify high …

Capsule The area explored increased throughout the year and tended to be much larger for
females than males. Aims To explore how the process of juvenile dispersal unfolds spatially …
