Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, Vol. 41, No. 2 (1997), pp. 129-137 (9 pages) Lesser kestrels (Falco naumanni) lay clutches which appear excessive as only 3% of them yield as many young as eggs ...
A recent study of two genetically distinct populations of lesser kestrels — a petite falcon — showed the differences in how varying lineages of the same animal respond to climate fluctuations.
Population fragmentation is a widespread phenomenon usually associated with human activity. As a result of habitat transformation, the philopatric and steppe-specialist Lesser Kestrel Falco naumanni ...
Predation may reduce prey numbers in such extent that prey may be depleted, which has negative effects on predator populations. Prey depletion would be more likely when the number of predators ...

Can you capture the flight of a lesser kestrel?
In this video, I spend time in the field observing and filming Lesser Kestrels — a small, graceful falcon found across open ...
Some alleles are inherited more frequently than expected from Mendel's rule. This phenomenon, known as transmission ratio distortion (TRD), is found in a broad variety of taxa, but it is thought to be ...
Lovely weather and lovely food, but a landscape dominated by medium-rise apartment blocks and hotels. Not a promising place for wildlife, but I had interesting encounters with birds, and added a new ...
Kestrels adapt their flight and hunting strategies to weather conditions, including solar radiation, wind speed, and air temperature, according to a study published June 7, 2017 in the open-access ...
ALENTEJO immediately brings to mind the landscape described in Cormac McCarthy's novels. Great chunks of the centre of the Iberian peninsula are sparsely populated plains, wild and sometimes desolate.
