MODELLING NESTING HABITAT PREFERENCES OF EURASIAN GRIFFON VULTURE GYPS FULVUS IN EASTERN IBERIAN PENINSULA

摘要: SUMMARY.—Modelling nesting habitat preferences of Eurasian Griffon Vulture Gyps fulvus in eastern Iberian Peninsula. Aims: To apply modern modelling techniques using generalized linear models approach to generate not only explicative but also predictive suitability models. Ecological factors that could affect the species’ at two spatial scales, one referred colony as a sampling unit and another trying reflect landscape level, had been underlined. Location: Castellon province, Methods: Occupied unoccupied cliffs 10x10Km U.T.M. squares were compared univariate tests. A model, employing logistic regression, was applied explain predict occurrence Vultures scales. In order select most parsimonious model amongst
