Evolutionary Relationships and Genetic Diversity in the Southern Siberian Populations of the Saker Falcon (Falco cherrug), a Young and Endangered Species

Diversity
Studying intraspecific differentiation in closely related species is essential to clarify the phylogenetic relationships and mechanisms of early stage speciation, particularly in evolutionarily young lineages affected by human-driven population declines.

Falcon Nest Occupancy and Hatch Success Near Two Diamond Mines in the Southern Arctic, Northwest Territories

Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2013
Sensitivity to anthropogenic disturbance in conjunction with slow population recovery has raised conservation concerns over impacts to raptor species from industrial development in pristine areas of their North American breeding range.

[On the origin of the name Girifalco, an Italian town in a hotspot of the autumn migration of soaring raptors]

Natural History Sciences
In this article, a hypothesis is suggested on the origin of the name Girifalco, a small town in the Calabrian Apennines (southern continental Italy), located along an important flyway of raptors migrating through the Central Mediterranean. In particular,

Overview of criminal cases concerning illegal withdrawal of wild falcons and related prosecutions in Russia and neighboring countries

Пернатые хищники и их охрана, 2018
This article was prepared according on the analysis of the situation with the poaching and smuggling of falcons (Gyrfalcon Falco rusticolus, Saker Falcon F. cherrug and Peregrine Falcon F. peregrinus) in Russia and near abroad countries in 2016–2017. The

The caliph and the falcons: a ninth‐century history from Iceland to Iraq

Early Medieval Europe, Volume 34, Issue 2, Page 299-322, May 2026.
In the late ninth and early tenth centuries, an extraordinary number of falcons were given to the ʿAbbāsid caliphs in Baghdad, many of which were white. Gifts from competing dynasties in the northern provinces of the Caliphate, at least some of these birds were almost certainly gyrfalcons from near the Arctic Circle.

Sedimentary Metagenomics Reveal Avian Community Transitions From the Last Glacial Maximum to the Holocene

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
We used sedimentary ancient DNA shotgun metagenomics to reconstruct past bird communities in northern high‐latitude environments. By using long time series and data collected across a large environmental gradient, we contributed in a unique and explorative way to the understanding of palaeoecological dynamics between birds and their habitat on the ...

Behavioural responses of a gamebird to human encounters across the hunting season

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 2, March 2026.
We examined the behavioural adaptation of rock ptarmigan Lagopus muta in response to human encounters across the hunting season. We conducted disturbance experiments in two different parts of the species' range, in subarctic (Iceland) and in alpine (Italy) habitats.

Avian influenza overview September–November 2025

EFSA Journal, Volume 23, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Between 6 September and 28 November 2025, 2896 highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H5) virus detections were reported in domestic (442) and wild (2454) birds in 29 countries in Europe. The magnitude and geographical extent of these detections were unprecedented for this time of the year, particularly in wild birds.

Trophic discrimination of amino acid ‐specific nitrogen stable isotopes in raptor nestlings: implications for estimating trophic position

Journal of Zoology, Volume 327, Issue 3, Page 236-247, November 2025.
We used high‐precision diet estimates from nest cameras to estimate amino acid‐specific trophic discrimination factors (TDFs) for gyrfalcon nestlings and compared these against TDFs for other taxa from the literature. TDFs for trophic amino acids in gyrfalcon were lower than values that have typically been used to estimate trophic position.
