A review of constraints and solutions for collecting raptor samples and contextual data for a European Raptor Biomonitoring Facility

Maria Dulsat-Masvidal et al.

Summary: The study aims to comprehensively review constraints on gathering raptor samples and contextual data in the field, and propose solutions based on input obtained from scientific workshops and stakeholder questionnaires. The most important constraints identified were related to the collection of complex contextual data and the lack of existing raptor population monitoring schemes and ecological studies.

A review on contaminants of emerging concern in European raptors (2002-2020)

Soledad Gonzalez-Rubio et al.

Summary: Raptors are widely used as indicators of environmental pollution due to their high trophic position and bioaccumulation of persistent pollutants. However, their role in current research on contaminants of emerging concern is limited. More information on the levels and effects of CECs on raptors is urgently needed, along with research covering all major classes of CECs.
