Raptors can change the shape and area of their wings to an exceptional degree in a fast and efficient manner,surpassing other birds,insects,or bats.Some researchers have focused on the functional properties of muscle ...
Inland wetlands in Abu Dhabi Emirate are wintering and stopover sites for migratory birds of prey. We conducted long-term regular monitoring surveys in Al Wathba Wetland Reserve (AWWR) from January 1995 to December 20...

Cutting-edge technologies are extremely useful to develop new workflows in studying ecological data,particularly to understand animal behavior and movement trajectories at the individual level.Although parental care i...
Background:In this study we examined the habitat preferences of three diurnal raptors in relation to human access.We aimed to identify the selection of breeding habitat by the Golden Eagle(Aquila chrysaetos),the Long-...
This article is in memoriam of our beloved friend and colleague Michele Panuccio and his passion for raptor migration.We are thankful to Triantafyllos Akriotis,Vasileios Bontzorlos,Thord Fransson,Giannis Gasteratos,Nikolaos Katsimanis,Elli Navarette,Diego Rubolini,Victoria Saravia,and Nikos Tsiopelas for helping with data collection.Peter Palatitz and 3 anonymous reviewers provided valuable comments on a previous draft of this manuscript.We acknowledge the Cornell Lab of Ornithology for hosting eBird and providing free access to researchers as well as the thousands of birders that contribute their sightings to eBird and other citizen science platforms.
Citizen scienee data have already been used to effectively address questions regarding migration,a fun dame ntal stage in the life history of birds.In this study,we use data from eBird and from 3 additional regional c...
