The use of satellite telemetry for the study of the movement ecology of raptors
Los autores plasman en este libro su experiencia de más de diez años en el seguimiento de rapaces por satélite, para ofrecer al lector desde como capturar las rapaces y equiparlas con un emisor satelital, hasta detallar los diversos objetivos que se pueden conseguir mediante esta técnica. Mediante ejemplos se especifica como realizar estudios sobre comportamiento, selección de hábitat, dispersión juvenil, rutas, efectos de las condiciones atmosféricas y fenología de la migración, aplicaciones en estudios de impacto ambiental y conservación. Este libro está ilustrado con profusión de mapas, fotos y tablas.
Science of the Magical
"From the author of The Science of Monsters, this engaging scientific inquiry provides a definitive look into the elements of mystical places and magical object--from the philosopher's stone, to love potions to the oracles--from ancient history, mythology, and contemporary culture. Can migrations of birds foretell our future? Do phases of the moon hold sway over our lives? Are there sacred springs that cure the ill? What is the best way to brew a love potion? How do we create mutant humans who regenerate like Wolverine? In Science of the Magical, noted science journalist Matt Kaplan plumbs the rich, lively, and surprising history of the magical objects, places, and rituals that infuse ancien...
Migration Strategies of Birds of Prey in Western Palearctic
Given their roles in the ecosystem, raptors are widely considered the flagship or umbrella species among birds. Most species undertake a seasonal journey that is impressive because of the length, and the imposing natural barriers such as deserts and seas that they fly over. The migration of birds of prey has unique characteristics in the animal world because of their morphology and flight style. The flying path of Afro-Palearctic migrants between breeding and wintering grounds is determined by several factors such as morphology of the birds, geography, behavioural adaptations. The book analyses the migration patterns of raptors along the Afro-Palearctic migratory system, and summarizes the r...

Behavioural Ecology of Western Palearctic Falcons
This monograph is the result of eight years of bibliographical and field research concerning several behavioural ecology aspects of the Palaearctic falcons. For a while, this book grew along with “The Lanner falcon” published in 2015 and revised in 2017. In both books the main aim was to provide a clear overview of the biology and ecology of these species. In fact in the last 20 years, the number of publications on falcons has grown tremendously and, in parallel, also those belonging to the so-called "grey literature". The number of people involved is also increased by including both academics and nature lovers. Many previously published books emphasized identification, and offered littl...
