It has long been held that Falconiformes and Strigiformes possess a strong similarity in their claws due to their adaptive convergence for preying specialisation and that claws differ from those of other bird species, justifying the usual name of tal

Raman measurements at 473.1 nm on corals, both calcitic and aragonitic, and on pearls (aragonitic) were performed to elucidate the nature of the pigments, with the relative importance of methylated (carotenoids) or nonmethylated polyenes involved in

Lateralization is the function specialization between left and right brain hemispheres. It is now ascertained in ectotherms too, where bias in eye use for different tasks, i.e., visual lateralization, is widespread. The lateral eye position on the he

Ectotherms have been shown being lateralized as well as mammals and birds. This is particularly evident in visual lateralization, i.e. the different use of the eyes, leading to use a specific eye to observe specific kind of stimuli and to process the

The predatory behaviour of eight wild adult common kestrels (Falco tinnunculus) was recorded during predatory tests carried out in the wild under controlled conditions. Those birds were offered one laboratory mouse each, which was restrained on a bas

The study examined habitat utilization and prey selection by the kestrel Falco tinnunculus in an area of cultivated farmland in Italy, along with field estimates of small mammal abundance. Kestrel males were radiotagged and ranging behaviour and diet

Common kestrels (Falco tinnunculus) exhibit pronounced sexual dimorphism in adult plumage colour. Since sexually dimorphic characteristics can be important in female choice and plumage colours represent signals of male quality in kestrels, we investi

Previous studies revealed the importance of plumage brightness (considering only the visible spectral range) in female mate choice of common kestrels ( Falco tinnunculus L., 1758). Our study focuses on the effect of UV reflectance on female preferenc

Although the ostrich has been bred for several decades for feathers and/or meat, its behaviour has received limited attention. To our knowledge there are just descriptions of behavioural repertoire or detailed measurements of behaviour, but in limite

Some birds are known to use the UV reflectance in their feeding strategy. Knowing that the common kestrel Falco tinnunculus is able to recognise vole trails by perceiving the UV reflectance of their scent marks, this study was designed to investigate
