Increasing Wild Boar Density Explains the Decline of a Montagu’s Harrier Population on a Protected Coastal Wetland
Crespo, Jorge; Jiménez Pérez, Juan; Martínez-Abraín, Alejandro (Museu de Ciències Naturals de Barcelona, 2021-07-19)[Abstract] We studied the rapid decline in the number of breeding pairs (geometric growth rate λ = 0.86; 14 % annual decrease) of a semi–colonial ground–nesting bird of prey, the Montagu's harrier (Circus pygargus), after ... -
Pax Romana: ‘Refuge Abandonment’ and Spread of Fearless Behavior in a Reconciling World

Stick Supply to Nests by Cliff-Nesting Raptors as an Evolutionary Load of Past Tree-Nesting
Martínez-Abraín, Alejandro; Jiménez Pérez, Juan (Queen's University, 2019)[Abstract] The supply of sticks to cliff nests by many European raptors has been explained only as a functional means of decreasing ectoparasite loads in nests and for signalling nest occupancy. We provide here a historical ... -
The Selection of Anthropogenic Habitat by Wildlife as an Ecological Consequence of Rural Exodus: Empirical Examples From Spain
