Accidental capture in fishing operations (bycatch) is one of the main threats affecting
seabirds worldwide. Available data on this issue remains limited and is often insufficient to
evaluate the extent and characteristics of bycatch. The costs of placing independent
observers on vessels, or gather verifiable and independent data via electronic syst...
Delineating an animal’s home range is crucial for understanding its spatial ecological requirements and vital for management and conservation decisions. We applied a dynamic Brownian Bridge Movement Model to investigate the movements, annual home range (HR) and core area (CA) size of eleven Dalmatian pelicans Pelecanus crispus fitted with satellite...
Simple Summary
The European turtle dove (Streptopelia turtur) is a migratory species that overwinters in sub-Saharan Africa, migrating to Europe each spring to breed. Over the past four decades, turtle dove populations have declined by as much as 79%, making the species vulnerable to extinction. A major threat to the species is illegal killing (poa...
Around fifteen thousand fieldworkers annually count breeding birds using standardized protocols in 28 European countries. The observations are collected by using country-specific and standardized protocols, validated, summarized and finally used for the production of continent-wide annual and long-term indices of population size changes of 170 spec...

The countries of Central Asia hold 50-80% of the global population of the Dalmatian
Pelican Pelecanus crispus but the breeding distribution and population size are only poorly known. We thus made a systematic effort to collect, compile and map all the breeding information availablefrom a variety of publications and databases for the period 1990-201...
The wider Prespa area (i.e. the Prespa National Park and adjacent areas within the Greek
territory), NW Greece, is one of the most plant diverse in Greece with more than 1,800 recorded taxa in an area of 418 km². This work presents preliminary results from the creation of a database that incorporates all the available information and provides an ov...
The Dalmatian Pelican Pelecanus crispus is listed globally as “Near Threatened”. We used the results of the International Waterbird Census from 1998 to 2017 to find trends in wintering numbers. Of the 102 sites examined, 29 were classified as regular, 18 as irregular and 55 as occasional wintering habitats for the species. Both the population size...
The present study describes the use of poison baits against so-called pest species in Greece and explores various aspects of this illegal practice. Data were collected from 2000 to 2016, and a total of 1015 poisoning incidents in rural areas causing the death of 3248 animals were examined. In 58.7% of investigated cases, the motives remained unknow...
Avian scavengers are declining throughout the world, and are affected by a large number of threats such as poisoning, electrocution, collision with man-made structures, direct persecution, changes in agricultural practices, landscape composition, and sanitary regulations that can reduce food availability. To formulate effective conservation strateg...
Electrocution was identified as one of the main threats for the steeply declining Balkan population of the Egyptian vulture. To mitigate the threat by providing relevant information for insulation of the most dangerous pylons for vultures, mapping and risk assessment of electricity pylons were conducted in active and recent breeding territories of...
The present publication provides the fi rst inventory of Important Bird Areas for seabirds (marine IBAs) in Greece and comprises one of the main results of the LIFE-Nature project “Concrete conservation actions for the Mediterranean Shag and Audouin’s Gull in Greece, including the inventory of relevant marine IBAs” (LIFE07 NAT/GR/000285). The proje...
This is an expert-guided assessment of the impact of hunting activity within the nucleus zones of the Amvrakikos Wetlands National Park (in Greek).
