Circaetus gallicus information navigator

The first article is placed on the LPO Coordination Rhône-Alpes website and dedicated to Short-toed Eagles of the Rhône Department /map/:

The next two texts can be viewed on the DZPPS site. They are about observations of Short-toed Eagles in Serbia, in Northern Bačka /map/ and also in the Vršac Mountains /map/ (Sr):

• O. Sekereš, 2008 – Dugotrajno zadržavanje zmijara Circaetus gallicus na području Bačke i Banata tokom 2008 [Long-term stay of Short-toed Eagle in Bačka and Banat during 2008] // Ciconia, 17: P. 34-37. – .

A full text of the following new article is not available for free, but you can view the abstract and references (En):

• Michele Panuccio and Nicolantonio Agostini, 2013 – Visible Migration of Short-Toed Snake-Eagles: Interplay of Weather and Topographical Features // Journal of Raptor Research, 47(1): P. 60-68.

We offer you the summary (En) of the following article dedicated to sexing of Short-toed Eagle and Common Buzzard nestlings:

• Jalby V., Malafosse J. P., Nore T. et Wink M., 2012 – Détermination, par la biométrie, du sexe des poussins chez deux espèces de rapaces Circaetus gallicus et Buteo buteo. Comparaison avec les Autours des palombes Accipiter gentilis et les Buses variables adultes [Nestling sexing by biometric and molecular analysis in two diurnal raptors, Circaetus gallicus and Buteo buteo. Comparison with the Goshawk (Accipiter gentilis) and adult Buzzards] // Alauda, 80 (3): 187-202.

The biometric data on Short-toed Eagle nestlings were collected by Jean-Pierre Malafosse in Cévennes National Park /map/.

A new paper on autumn migration of Short-toed Eagle in Italy /map/ is placed on Guido Premuda‘s Sunbird.it under the Bibliography section:

• BAGHINO L., PREMUDA G. & GIRAUDO L., 2012 – Nuove analisi sulla migrazione post-riproduttiva del biancone Circaetus gallicus nell’Italia nord-occidentale [New analysis on post-breeding migration of Short-toed Eagle in north-western Italy] // Avocetta 36: 107-111. – (It) {rough translation}.

This work is available on the De Gruyter website. It is published in the last issue of Acrocephalus, is dedicated to breeding of Short-toed Eagles in Southwestern Slovenia /map/ and is a result of two-year research:

• Peter Krečič, 2012 – Opis gnezditvenega ciklusa kačarja Circaetus gallicus na dveh lokacijah v JZ Sloveniji v letih 2010 in 2011 [Description of the Short-toed Eagle breeding cycle at two sites in SW Slovenia during the years 2010 and 2011] // Acrocephalus, Vol. 32, Is. 148-149: P. 53–66. – (Sl) {rough translation}.

Two more articles on migration of Short-toed Eagles came out this year:

• Mellone U., Klaassen R.H.G., García-Ripollés C., Limiñana R., López-López P., Pavón D., Strandberg R., Urios V., Vardakis M., Alerstam T., 2012 – Interspecific comparison of the performance of soaring migrants in relation to morphology, meteorological conditions and migration strategies // PLoS ONE 7(7): e39833. doi:10.1371 / journal.pone.0039833 – (En).

• Frédéric Jiguet, Damien Chevallier, François Baillon, Julien Ventroux & Pascal Cavallin, 2012 – Sub-Saharan staging areas of a first-summer Short-toed Snake Eagle Circaetus gallicus // Bird Study, 59(1): 102-104. (En).

The first one is based on comparative data concerning Osprey, Marsh Harrier, Egyptian Vulture and Short-toed Eagle.

The abstract of a new article (dedicated to Circaetus gallicus) from Guido Premuda, Nicolantonio Agostini and Michele Panuccio is available on the Taylor & Francis Online website (En):

• PANUCCIO M., AGOSTINI N., PREMUDA G., 2012 – Ecological barriers promote risk minimization strategy and social learning in migrating short-toed snake eagles // Ethology Ecology & Evolution, 24.1: 74-80.

This paper is available now on a section of Publications in scientific journals of the University of Granada website:

• Gil-Sánchez J.M., Pleguezuelos J.M., 2001 – Prey and prey-size selection by the Short-toed eagle (Circaetus gallicus) during the breeding season in Granada (south-eastern Spain) // Journal of Zoology (Lond.), 255 (1): 131-137. – (En) /map/.

…and an abstract of next one is placed on a website of Ardea – the official scientific journal of the Netherlands Ornithologists’ Union:
