Monitoraggio della popolazione nidificante di fratino in Sicilia nel periodo 2011-2019
Il fratino (Charadrius alexandrinus), è una specie in diminuzione nella maggior parte del suo areale europeo (BirdLife International, 2019). In Italia, è considerata specie “in pericolo” (EN) per via della forte riduzione della popolazione nidificante, presumibilmente del 50%, nel periodo 2000-2010. La regione Sicilia, risulta ad oggi, dopo Sardegna e Veneto, la regione italiana più importante per la nidificazione e lo svernamento del fratino; purtroppo anche la popolazione regionale mostra una diminuzione in linea con quella nazionale, evidenziata da vari autori dalla fine degli anni ’70, poi ulteriormente accentuata nel 2000-2010. Successivamente abbiamo solo lavori a livello locale sullo…
Status, distribution and conservation of Kentish plover Charadrius alexandrinus (Aves, Charadriiformes) in Sicily
The Kentish Plover Charadrius alexandrinus is a sen sitive species whose national breeding population has been undergo ing a sharp decrease, up to 50%, in 2010 compared to the previous decade. Due to the lack of updated data and fragmented knowledge about its current status and distribution in Sicily, a specific and accu rate monitoring of this species was carried out during the years 2018 and 2019. About 230 km of coastline and 64 UTM squares 10x10 km were investigated during the breeding seasons, and a total of 205-287 pairs have been estimated for the whole region, distributed in 41 UTM squares (including the island of Favignana). Pairs are mainly concen trated in the complex of “Saline …
