Disturbance of wildlife by ecotourism has become a major concern in the last decades. In
the Mediterranean, sea‐based tourism and related recreational activities are increasing …

Most large raptors on migration avoid crossing the sea because of the lack of atmospheric
convection over temperate seas. The osprey Pandion haliaetus is an exception among …

The development of migratory behaviour is a continuous process which is not only
determined by genes, but also moulded by individual differences based on life‐history …

A broad range of migration strategies exist in avian species, and different strategies can
occur in different populations of the same species. For the breeding Osprey Pandion …

Genetic variability and population structure in osprey were studied using DNA microsatellite
markers. Special emphasis was placed on the subspecies living in the Afro-Palearctic …

Movement ecology and environmental factors are topics of paramount importance to
consider when planning conservation programmes for target species. Here we discuss this …

Restoring ecological dynamics is a key objective of conservation translocations.
Exemplarily, reconnecting the reintroduced alpine populations with native Pyrenean …

The present biodiversity crisis has led to an increasing number of reintroduction programs,
and this conservation method is likely to be increasingly used in the future, especially in the …

Adult survival and turnover rates are often estimated in long-lived species as the primary
drivers of population dynamics. Various methods have been used, yet comparison of …

Dispersal and survival are important determinants of population dynamics and should be
monitored in both threatened and recovered populations. We used colour ringing with a …
