摘要: Abstract. Breeding success determines the fate of bird populations and, therefore, understanding its determinants is an important issue for application conservation measures endangered species. depends on diverse, not mutually exclusive, effects such as life strategies developed by species, environmental, ecological and anthropogenic factors. The influence nest tree characteristics, landscape composition human disturbance breeding vulnerable Cinereous Vulture Aegypius monachus in colony central Spain was analysed. A number variables characterising vegetation around nest-tree, itself were selected We found that bigger less deteriorated nests, taller nesting trees a higher shrub coverage radius 100 m resulted increased success. Although sites characteristics quality can be related to birds' age expe...
