Birds of prey have been, in comparison to other avian groups, an uncommon study model,
mainly due to the limitations imposed by their conservative life strategy (low population …

Understanding a species' diet can be critical for effective conservation. While several
traditional methods for assessing raptor diet exist, many pose inherit biases and often …

Determining how resource use affects a species' demography is important, especially in
habitats that are being altered by anthropogenic land-use change. If changes result in …

Video surveillance cameras installed on birds' nests are a cost-effective tool to study many
aspects of ecology and behaviour that would otherwise be practically impossible to obtain …

The exposure to persistent pollutants such as organochlorine compounds (OCs) or metals
has been associated with declines in top predator populations, which can accumulate high …

Specialist predators are generally negatively impacted by habitat change. Predators that
inhabit transformed areas are usually forced to diversify their diet and this departure away …

Spatial demographic models can help guide monitoring and management activities
targeting at-risk species, even in cases where baseline data are lacking. Here, we provide …

One of the central goals of the field of population ecology is to identify the drivers of
population dynamics, particularly in the context of predator–prey relationships …

Montane temperate forests in central and southern Europe host diverse small mammal
assemblages, but the fluctuations in these assemblages in correlation with owl predators are …

Identifying the priority habitats of endangered species is crucial to implementing effective
conservation actions. We characterize the key habitats used by Bonelli's Eagle Aquila …
