The goal was to determine the population size, trend, and distribution over the decade by assessing census data and evaluating the study area's environmental suitability. It was important to identify the relationship between the region’s environmental characteristics and the presence of the species by developing territory suitability models, processed using the maximum entropy algorithms and MaxEnt (maximum entropy) software. It was possible to determine the combinations of the factors potentially influencing habitat attendance, to develop environmental suitability maps, and to identify the area with the greater probability of the presence of the species, as well as those areas with potential suitability. Data for the presence of wintering rooks were derived from annual censuses, carried out by direct observation along pre-established transects in the Friuli Venezia Giulia region. Based on the census data, that total number of rooks in Friuli Venezia Giulia across the 10-year period had a maximum peak recorded in 2015 (1543) and a minimum in 2019 (853). The distribution of the species was concentrated in the central-southern areas of the region, with greater turnout in the areas characterized by agricultural land use, while the mountainous areas, located in the southern part of the region, were excluded. The environmental suitability models developed with MaxEnt on a regional scale demonstrated excellent predictive capacity, validating the species’ ecological needs. Although the rook is not an endangered species, its range has been drastically reduced in Italy, at least in the last century, and MaxEnt could be used in the future as a management tool in order to outline conservation actions for the species, especially for its habitats.","PeriodicalId":53351,"journal":{"name":"Rivista Italiana di Ornitologia Research in Ornithology","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80330806","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Negli ultimi decenni la disponibilità di habitat per la nidificazione della specie è risultata fortemente limitata dalla distruzione diretta o perdita funzionale delle aree dunali ad opera del crescente turismo costiero. Quando non è preclusa la possibilità di insediarsi sul litorale, il successo riproduttivo risulta comunque drasticamente ridotto dal disturbo antropico. In Italia, il fratino è in forte diminuzione ed è classificato “In Pericolo” nella Lista Rossa dei vertebrati italiani. Tre nuclei stabili sono noti in Toscana, di cui uno nel comune di Castagneto Carducci (Livorno). In quest’area, il recupero di un uovo fratturato a seguito di una forte mareggiata (2020) sull’arenile della Zona Speciale di Conservazione/Zona di Protezione Speciale Padule di Bolgheri, ha permesso l’amplificazione tramite PCR di un frammento di 523 pb della Regione di Controllo del DNA mitocondriale. La sequenza è stata allineata con altre 198 scaricate dalla GenBank al fine di ricostruire le relazioni genetiche tra fratini sulla base sia dell’origine geografica che dell’appartenenza a popolazioni continentali o insulari, identificare gruppi geneticamente omogenei, e testare un’ipotesi di espansione demografica attraverso l’intero areale di distribuzione della specie. La diversità genetica è risultata più elevata nelle isole rispetto alle aree continentali. Dei 47 aplotipi (H) totali, 35 sono privati mentre tra i rimanenti, tutti condivisi da più popolazioni, due si sono distinti per elevata frequenza: uno (H3) è stato quasi esclusivamente rinvenuto in Europa mentre l’altro (H14) nell’intera Eurasia (con prevalenza orientale). Il fratino di Bolgheri è stato assegnato all’aplotipo H3 insieme a soggetti originari soprattutto della Penisola Iberica e della Macaronesia. Nel complesso, tre gruppi genetici omogenei sono stati identificati nell’intero areale della specie; tuttavia, a conferma di un elevato flusso genico intraspecifico, nessuno di questi possiede una definita struttura spaziale. Infine, le analisi demografiche hanno evidenziato una significativa espansione demografica su scala continentale nella storia naturale del fratino. Questo studio rappresenta il primo contributo alla conoscenza delle affinità genetiche della popolazione italiana di fratino e sottolinea l’urgenza di investigare la specie su scala nazionale per definire strategie di conservazione più adeguatamente informate.","PeriodicalId":53351,"journal":{"name":"Rivista Italiana di Ornitologia Research in Ornithology","volume":"61 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76684265","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The project is realized thanks to the support offered by MUSE and several institutions at a local scale, not to mention the collaboration of over one hundred ringers. In more than twenty years, 40 stations located in sites of passage (alpine and pre-alpine passes) and stop-over (valley floors and slopes) have taken part in the project, leading to a dataset of 666,471 ringed individuals and 191 species (as to 2017). After a first exploratory phase (1997-2002), in which the migration was investigated in its many aspects of specific composition and spatial-temporal variation, the project has been restricted to a smaller number of stations since 2007. Those stations are characterized by working in a standardized and continuous way during the whole period (August-November) or during the migration period of the intra-Palearctic species (end of September-October).
