Roles of raptors in a changing world: from flagships to providers of key ecosystem services
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 …

Use of DNA markers to study bird migration
M Wink - Journal of Ornithology, 2006 - Springer
The molecular methods that are presently being used for studying phylogenetics,
phylogeography and population genetics can also be applied to study bird migration. They …

An overlooked DNA source for non‐invasive genetic analysis in birds
Non‐invasive sampling is a useful tool for genetic analyses of endangered and/or elusive
species, but it is often inapplicable due to the low quality and quantity of the DNA obtained …

Population fragmentation leads to spatial and temporal genetic structure in the endangered Spanish imperial eagle
The fragmentation of a population may have important consequences for population genetic
diversity and structure due to the effects of genetic drift and reduced gene flow. We studied …

Being cosmopolitan: evolutionary history and phylogeography of a specialized raptor, the Osprey Pandion haliaetus
Abstract Background The Osprey (Pandion haliaetus) is one of only six bird species with an
almost world-wide distribution. We aimed at clarifying its phylogeographic structure and …
