Evolution and Climate Adaptation in Eurasian Gyrfalcon Populations [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Climate change is considered a key driver for shaping ecological and evolutionary processes of Arctic animals. Historical glaciation has profoundly influenced the distribution and genetic differentiation of Arctic vertebrates, and recently Arctic species

Gyrfalcon Prey Abundance and Their Habitat Associations in a Changing Arctic [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Arctic habitats are changing rapidly and altering trophic webs and ecosystem functioning. Understanding how species' abundances and distributions differ among Arctic habitats is important in predicting future species shifts and trophic‐web consequences ...

Chromosome-level reference genome assembly of the gyrfalcon (Falco rusticolus) and population genomics offer insights into the falcon population in Mongolia [PDF]

Scientific Reports
The taxonomic classification of a falcon population found in the Mongolian Altai region in Asia has been heavily debated for two centuries and previous studies have been inconclusive, hindering a more informed conservation approach.

First pre-modern record of the gyrfalcon (Falco rusticolus) in north-east Greenland [PDF]

Polar Research, 2019
Gyrfalcon (Falco rusticolus) is the largest falcon in the world. It inhabits a wide range of climate zones in the Northern Hemisphere, from boreal forests in the south of its range to the arid polar deserts of the High Arctic.

Phylogenomic insights into the polyphyletic nature of Altai falcons within eastern sakers (Falco cherrug) and the origins of gyrfalcons (Falco rusticolus) [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2023
The Altai falcon from Central Asia always attracted the attention of humans. Long considered a totemic bird in its native area, modern falconers still much appreciated this large-bodied and mighty bird of prey due to its rarity and unique look.

Genetic Passport System for Captive Falcons – Saker, Gyrfalcon and Peregrine Falcon Conservation Prospects in Russia. [PDF]

Пернатые хищники и их охрана, 2023
DNA analysis is a “gold standard” for individual identification and parentage studies as for humans, so for animals (Saks et al., 1991). First forensic testing of the rare animal species DNA occurred in 1991 in Great Britain, when the case of illegal ...

Survival rates of adult and juvenile gyrfalcons in Iceland: estimates and drivers [PDF]

PeerJ, 2021
Knowledge of survival rates and their potential covariation with environmental drivers, for both adults and juveniles, is paramount to forecast the population dynamics of long-lived animals.

Nesting of Gyrfalcon on the Artificial Structures in the State Nature Reserve "Nenetsky", Russia

Пернатые хищники и их охрана, 2017
All nests used by Gyrfalcons on the territory of “Nenetsky” State Nature Reserve were situated on wooden towers. There had been a known nesting of Gyrfalcon on triangular tower on Lovetsky island since 1987.

Gyrfalcon (Falco rusticolus) Breeding Performance Across Natural and Infrastructure-Associated Nesting Sites on the Yamal Peninsula, Russia: A Comparison of Two Breeding Seasons

Birds
Spring conditions may influence reproduction in the Gyrfalcon, Falco rusticolus, but their effects are difficult to separate from prey variation. We compared 66 nesting territories in 2024 and 69 in 2025 across natural tree nests, artificial nests ...

Resident and Migratory Falcons' Breeding Phenology and Productivity Respond Differently to Weather and Climate Change Across the Arctic. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
Climate change is altering breeding phenology and productivity of peregrine falcons and gyrfalcons across the circumpolar Arctic. Long‐term monitoring shows that responses vary among study areas and Arctic regions, with some populations advancing hatch dates while others show weaker or contrasting trends, highlighting spatially variable effects of ...
