Calls for urgent action to conserve biodiversity under global change are increasing, and
conservation of migratory species in this context poses special challenges. In the last two …

To develop effective conservation strategies for migratory birds, it is essential to understand
the ecology of a species at each biological phase, including its wintering (or non-breeding) …

Bird migratory journeys are often long and hostile, requiring high energetic expenditure, and
thus forcing birds to pause between migratory flights. Stopover sites allow migrants to …

Understanding population dynamics requires estimation of demographic parameters like
mortality and productivity. Because obtaining the necessary data for such parameters can be …

Studies focusing on the spatial ecology of the Red Kite (Milvus milvus) during the breeding
season are scarce, despite this season having major importance in its conservation. Spain …

The juvenile dispersal of raptors is a crucial stage that stretches from parental independence
to the establishment of the first breeding area. Between 2012 and 2020, 44 juvenile red kites …

The breeding behaviour of raptors is determined by many characteristics, such as courtship
and mating patterns, nest building, foraging, territorial defence activities, clutch incubation …

Simple Summary It is necessary to study the variability of movements in birds during their
entire lifecycles. Many species and populations are classified into sedentary or migratory …

Capsule Some birds of the central European population of Red Kite Milvus milvus are non-
migratory and winter within their natal area, whereas others migrate to southern Europe or …

ABSTRACT Capsule: Tracked Hen Harriers Circus cyaneus breeding in Spain winter either
in the southern parts of the Iberian Peninsula or in Morocco, although migration timing and …
