Causes, temporal trends, and the effects of urbanization on admissions of wild raptors to rehabilitation centers in England and Wales

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2022
Data from wildlife rehabilitation centers (WRCs) can provide on‐the‐ground records of causes of raptor morbidity and mortality, allowing threat patterns to be explored throughout time and space.

Diurnal raptors at rescue centres in the Czech Republic: Reasons for admission, outcomes, and length of stay.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2022
Rescue centres play an important role in the protection of raptors living in the wild by caring for injured or debilitated animals and abandoned young with the aim of returning them to the wild.

How Does Circadian Rhythm Shape Host-Parasite Associations? A Comparative Study on Infection Patterns in Diurnal and Nocturnal Raptors

open access: yesDiversity, 2021
Infection patterns of parasites, including their prevalence, diversity and host specificity, can be impacted by many biological and environmental factors, but no study has focused on the circadian rhythms of vertebrate hosts, which may affect ...

Prevalence and genetic diversity of Haemoproteus and Plasmodium in raptors from Thailand: Data from rehabilitation center

open access: yesInternational Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2021
The diurnal raptors (Family: Accipitridae and Falconidae) are important as ecosystem bioindicators. Unfortunately, the global number of these birds has fallen, and they are close to extinction.

The representation potential of raptors for globally important nature conservation areas

open access: yesEcological Indicators, 2021
Stemming from a pervasive lack of knowledge on biodiversity, important areas for conservation are typically identified using a subset of well known species, commonly termed surrogate or indicator groups.

Raptor hunted by caspases [PDF]

open access: yesCell Death & Disease, 2016
Emergence of survival strategies is a key step for organisms during evolution. The capacity to adapt from nutrient-rich to nutrient-poor environments led to the appearance of protein complexes regulating anabolic and catabolic pathways. The evolutionarily conserved kinase mTOR (mechanistic target of rapamycin) emerged as a crucial and central protein ...

Annotated raptor codes [PDF]

open access: yes2011 IEEE Information Theory Workshop, 2011
In this paper, an extension of raptor codes is introduced which keeps all the desirable properties of raptor codes, including the linear complexity of encoding and decoding per information bit, unchanged. The new design, however, improves the performance in terms of the reception rate.

Intra- and inter-specific territorial response of diurnal raptors in the tropical dry forest of western Mexico

open access: yesHuitzil, 2023
Little is known of intra- and inter-specific territoriality in Neotropical raptors that may defend territories throughout the year, and face greater inter-specific competition for resources.

Comparison of point and roadside transect methods to evaluate the abundance and richness of diurnal raptors in the arid region of Rajasthan

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2021
Diurnal raptors show a wider distribution compared to other groups of birds including passerines, woodpeckers, and seriemas, but occur at lower-than-expected densities.
