Animal responses to natural disturbance and climate extremes: a review
Natural disturbances, such as droughts, fires or hurricanes, are key drivers of ecological
heterogeneity and ecosystem function. The frequency and severity of these episodes is …

When and where mortality occurs throughout the annual cycle changes with age in a migratory bird: Individual vs population implications
The annual cycle of most animals is structured into discrete stages, such as breeding,
migration and dispersal. While there is growing appreciation of the importance of different …

Extreme events are more likely to affect the breeding success of lesser kestrels than average climate change
Climate change is predicted to severely impact interactions between prey, predators and
habitats. In Southern Europe, within the Mediterranean climate, herbaceous vegetation …

No effect of satellite tagging on survival, recruitment, longevity, productivity and social dominance of a raptor, and the provisioning and condition of its offspring
The deployment of electronic devices on animals is rapidly expanding and producing
leapfrog advances in ecological knowledge. Even though their effects on the ecology and …

Long-term monitoring of the flooding regime and hydroperiod of Doñana marshes with Landsat time series (1974–2014)
This paper presents a semi-automatic procedure to discriminate seasonally flooded areas in
the shallow temporary marshes of Doñana National Park (SW Spain) by using a …

Habitat selection by Black kite breeders and floaters: Implications for conservation management of raptor floaters
Preserving large predators is important but challenging because these species are typically
wide-ranging, select multiple habitats at different scales and often present spatial or habitat …
