Summary
This Special Issue has been developed to collect and promote the work of different researchers and to present new insights into raptor research and management techniques. The published material consists of twelve papers reviewing different topics related to this subject from Europe and the Middle East. Four of the papers deal with diet and related adaptations, while the other four papers reveal turnover rates, dispersal, and prey species richness of raptors and their diet. In conclusion, the collected papers offer a great insight into raptor ecology and management and will surely bring attention to these topics in the future.
