Dynamics in spatial use by Ospreys (Pandion haliaetus) during the breeding season revealed by GPS tracking
The migratory behaviour of Ospreys ( Pandion haliaetus ) has been well studied using satellite telemetry, but studies on their behaviour in the...

Changes in the osprey Pandion haliaetus hunting grounds caused by water level fluctuations and the importance of shallow water areas in dam environment
Dam construction has created habitats and spawning or breeding grounds for fish, aquatic birds, and various other organisms. It is, therefore,...

Drawing the baseline of trace element levels in the vulnerable Mediterranean osprey Pandion haliaetus: variations by breeding location, habitats, and egg components
Due to its peculiarity to accumulate environmental contaminants, the osprey Pandion haliaetus is a sentinel species for the biomonitoring of...

Against the flow: unexpected migration movements over the open sea by inexperienced ospreys
As part of a long-term monitoring program, more than 80 Mediterranean ospreys Pandion haliaetus (both adults and juveniles) were tagged with GPS-GSM...

Mercury Exposure in Birds Linked to Marine Ecosystems in the Western Mediterranean
Mercury (Hg), particularly as methylmercury (MeHg), is a nonessential, persistent, and bioaccumulative toxic element with high biomagnification...

Are Western European ospreys (Pandion haliaetus) shortening their migration distances? Evidence from trends of the wintering population in the Iberian Peninsula
Here, we provide evidence that the number of Western European ospreys wintering in the Iberian Peninsula has been increasing over nearly two decades...

The Silverware of the GDR? Nature Conservation and Conservationists in the Eastern Federal States
Although, in principle as in the West, nature conservation was located rather on the fringes of “official politics”, it was able to play a thoroughly...

Help for Endangered Species? Red Lists and Endangerment Categories
Red Lists are an important instrument of nature conservation for making a judgement on the worthiness of protection of a species and thus also of a...

Autumn migration of Ospreys from two distinct populations in Poland reveals partial migratory divide
BackgroundLong-term ringing and telemetry studies show that the Osprey ( Pandion haliaetus ) is a broad-front migrant following different migratory...

Nest switching vs. nest integration: a comment on Fernandez-Duque et al.
Fernandez-Duque et al. (Evol Ecol 37:859-869, 2023) reported instances where fledglings, able to move freely, were found in the nests of others of...

Effectiveness of protected areas for osprey survival at intercontinental scale
Protected areas are the cornerstones of biodiversity conservation. Evaluating the effectiveness of PAs for protecting peculiar habitats and sensitive...

Mercury Exposure in Birds of Prey from Norway: Relation to Stable Carbon and Nitrogen Isotope Signatures in Body Feathers
Mercury (Hg) and stable carbon and nitrogen isotope ratios were analysed in body feathers from nestlings of white-tailed eagles ( Haliaeetus albicilla) ...

Apparent survival and dispersal in a recovered Osprey population: effects of age, sex and social status
Dispersal and survival are important determinants of population dynamics and should be monitored in both threatened and recovered populations. We...

Nature Conservation is Quite Successful: The Example of Large Animal Species
Large animal species are particularly important to us. These have also been among the most successful of conservation efforts. In most cases, this...

Plasma chemistry and hematology reference values in wild nestlings of White-tailed Sea Eagles (Haliaeetus albicilla): effects of age, sex and hatching date
Studies on normal concentration of blood constituents of free-living birds are not very common. An adequate knowledge of blood chemistry is greatly...

Distribution and Structure of Bird Assemblage in Northern Eurasia in the First Half of Summer
Abstract —To reveal the features of the distribution of birds in Northern Eurasia, the results of surveys carried out in the period from 1880 to 2019...

Using GPS tracking and stable multi-isotopes for estimating habitat use and winter range in Palearctic ospreys
We used both satellite tracking and carbon, nitrogen and sulphur stable isotopic analysis (SIA) to infer wintering ecology and habitat use of the...

An Introduction to the Birds of the United Arab Emirates
The United Arab Emirates may be a small, arid country but is home to a surprisingly diverse and interesting range of birds that occur as breeders,...
