We analysed variation in 10 polymorphic microsatellites and a variable portion of control region of mtDNA in 24 specimens from 3 populations of European Lanner Falcon Falco biarmicus feldeggii living in Sicily, continental Italy and the Balkan area to assess species’ genetic diversity and population structure in the poorly investigated range of thi...

Basic information on natal dispersal of Peregrine Falcons is virtually lacking in Eu-rope, despite increased attention on this species, and the sensitivity of this stage in the Peregrines' life history. In this study, we collected satellite telemetry data during the onset of natal dispersal of 19 Peregrine Falcons tagged in Sicily and the Aeolian a...

We analysed variation in ten polymorphic microsatellite loci and a portion of cytochrome b gene of mitochondrial DNA in 65 samples from four populations of Peregrine Falcon ( Falco peregrinus peregrinus and F. p. brookei ) breeding in Northern and Southern Italy, Northern Spain and the Czech Republic to assess genetic diversity in the poorly invest...

The identification of suitable areas, by spatially explicit distribution models, is crucial for conservation of threatened species as the lanner falcon Falco biarmicus feldeggii. Monitoring and collecting data on lanner falcon during years has proven to be essential for better defining the areas of species environmental suitability. Recent research...

Il progetto Falcon Conservation nasce nel 2014 e dal 2016 è supportato dalla fondazione Nando ed Elsa Peretti, con lo scopo di acquisire nuovi dati sulla biologia e la conservazione dei Rapaci ed in particolar modo del falco Lanario (Falco biarmicus feldeggii) e Pellegrino (Falco peregrinus brookei). Falcon Conservation si basa sulla ricerca scient...

The diet of top predators can provide useful information on phenology and abundance of their prey. The cosmopolitan and specialist Peregrine Falcon Falco peregrinus is an ideal model to assess whether food changes have occurred in the long-term. In this contribution , we reviewed all available literature on Peregrine Falcon diet in Italy which cont...

Nel 2014 sono stati inanellati e provvisti di trasmettitori GPS-GSM due giovani falchi pellegrini (Falco 15 maschio e Falco 18 femmina) in due nidi della Sicilia centro-occidentale e settentrionale.
