Migration Strategies of Birds of Prey in Western Palearctic

Birds of Prey Migration Strategies

Migration Strategies of Birds of Prey in Western Palearctic examines the migration patterns, flight behavior, ecology, and conservation of raptors across the Afro-Palearctic migratory system. The book explores how morphology, geography, weather, environmental conditions, and behavioral adaptations influence the movements of birds of prey between breeding and wintering grounds. It also discusses social interactions, different flight strategies, climate change, and major conservation challenges, while bringing together research on European and selected Asian raptor species using both traditional field methods and modern tracking technologies.
