Resumen: Despite conservation efforts made over three decades and the improvements in protection status at different levels (global, European, national and regional), the current situation of the little bustard has not improved. Increased knowledge on the species’ biology, and projects aimed at improving its conservation status, such as the designation of protected areas and LIFE projects, have not produced long-lasting positive results in distribution range or population size. In Europe, the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) has been unable to reverse habitat destruction and degradation. Agri-Environmental Schemes (AES) within CAP, aiming to promote farming practices compatible with biodiversity conservation, have been insufficient to reverse little bustard declines. A novel perspective for the new post-2020 CAP is needed in order to reverse continuing habitat loss and degradation. This chapter reviews the level of protection of the species in different countries, with a greater focus on Spain, the stronghold of the species in Europe, and evaluates the effectiveness of measures carried out to improve its worrying conservation status.2023-06-15T06:39:47ZMolecular DNA studies in the red-legged partridge: From population genetics and phylogeography to the risk of anthropogenic hybridization

Resumen: The red-legged partridge, as the other Alectoris partridges, is an appreciated game bird subject to intensive management and high hunting demand. Red-legged partridges are raised on game farms, often if not always being hybridized with more prolific chukar partridges, to be released into natural populations for shooting. Massive captive rearing and releasing of partridges is not only homogenizing the natural genetic structuring of wild populations but also contaminating the gene pool of the red-legged partridge with the genome of the exotic chukar partridge. We review analytical approaches used to detect partridge hybridization and describe the status of anthropogenic hybridization in wild and farm populations. Finally, we assess the evidences of the fitness consequences of hybridization or domestication on red-legged partridge populations and incorporate some considerations and concerns about the use of current molecular tools to manage and research partridge genetic integrity.2023-05-03T07:43:54Z
