Evaluation of the Impact of the Peregrine Falcon (Falco peregrinus peregrinus) Reintroduction Process on Captive-Bred Population
The main objective of this study was to determine the impact of increased demand for peregrine falcons via breeding (mainly Polish, Czech, German and Slovak) on the genetic structure of the birds. In the analysis, 374 specimens from six countries were sampled in 2008–2019 (omitting 2009), and all th...
