Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The Journal of Raptor Research publishes studies on raptor biology, ecology, and conservation. Recent articles focus on reproductive phenology in relation to climate change, foraging ecology and diet, population dynamics, migration patterns, and conservation strategies such as captive breeding and reintroduction efforts. Research also examines aspects of raptor behavior, including communal roosting and extra-pair paternity, as well as methods for aging nestlings and determining sex using morphometrics.
