Abstract Comparison of nest–site selection patterns of different sympatric raptor species as a
tool for their conservation.—In this study the nest–site selection patterns of four tree–nesting …

I studied 423 nests of six raptor species in east-central Estonia to (1) distinguish the
essential features of the nest sites,(2) link the nest-tree and nest-stand characteristics, and …

Animal home‐ranges are expressions of the biology and ecology of a species, and their size
is often considered to be a proxy for habitat quality. Understanding the factors affecting …

Weather conditions and prey abundance impact many birds, but the influence differs
between species and regions. I used 18-year data from Estonia, north-eastern Europe, in …

Context Biodiversity is closely related to landscape heterogeneity, but both are difficult to
evaluate directly. Apex predators, such as raptors, are potential surrogate indicators of …

Habitat quality is an important but insufficiently understood concept in ecology and
conservation biology, due to geographic and temporal variation as well as interaction with …

Relationships between birds and habitat can be very tight. Without prior local knowledge,
experienced birdwatchers often correctly predict occurrence of individual bird species in a …

The selection of a suitable nest‐site is critical for successful reproduction. Species'
preferences for nest‐sites have presumably evolved in relation to local habitat resources …

We tested a hypothesis on the influence of prey distribution on habitat selection by the
Lesser Spotted Eagle Aquila pomarina in north-eastern Poland during the breeding season …
