Título: | Summer pre-breeding movements of Eleonora's Falcon Falco eleonorae revealed by satellite telemetry: Implications for conservation |
Autor: | Mellone, Ugo; López-López, Pascual; Limiñana, Rubén CSIC ORCID; Urios, Vicente | Fecha de publicación: | 2013 | Editor: | Cambridge University Press | Citación: | Bird Conservation International 23: 487-494 (2013) | Resumen: | Recent advances in bird tracking technologies are revealing that migratory birds use temporal staging sites other than breeding and wintering areas, and these areas deserve conservation efforts. Eleonora's Falcon Falco eleonorae is a long-distance migratory raptor that breeds colonially on islands and is considered a priority species for conservation. Anecdotal observations indicate that during the pre-breeding period, Eleonora's Falcons stay in inland areas far away from the colonies, but, to date there are no detailed data concerning the connectivity between these areas and breeding colonies. Using satellite telemetry, we analysed data from four summering events belonging to three individuals breeding in two colonies in the Western Mediterranean (Spain). All of them made inland movements in areas up to c.400 km distant from the respective breeding colonies, visiting several habitats, from forests to arable lands, probably taking advantage of high densities of insects. Perturbations occurring in these areas could threaten Eleonora's Falcons with serious consequences at the population level. We suggest that conservation measures implemented at breeding and wintering grounds may not suffice and that temporary staging areas should be identified at a larger scale and deserve protection as well. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/142951 | DOI: | 10.1017/S0959270913000051 | Identificadores: | doi: 10.1017/S0959270913000051 issn: 0959-2709 e-issn: 1474-0001 |
