Aims The main aim of this PhD Thesis is to provide basic life history information on migratory connectivity of lesser kestrel populations, decreasing the huge information gap on this topic for this species. The specific aims were: 1) to locate the wintering areas, as well as the migration routes, of Western European Lesser Kestrels by using light level geolocation. 2) to examine the possible effects of geolocators on various breeding parameters (clutch size, number of fledged young, and clutch initiation date) during two consecutive nesting seasons. 3) to evaluate blood biochemistry parameters (triglycerides, cholesterol, urea, and uric acid) of nestlings of geolocator-tagged and control pairs. 4) to test the suitability of MHC markers to infer migratory connectivity between breeding and wintering populations. 5) to test the accuracy and performance of analytical approaches (PHASE algorithm) for the computational inference of the gametic phase across highly polymorphic genes such as those belonging to the MHC. 6) to examine the nutritional condition of lesser kestrels based on selected blood biochemistry parameters. Thesis outline In chapter 1, we explain how we fitted, for the first time, geolocators to a bird of prey, the lesser kestrel, to shed light on the wintering areas of the threatened western population. In chapter 2, we examine the possible effects of geolocators on various breeding parameters (clutch size, number of fledged young, and clutch initiation date) during two consecutive breeding seasons, as well as on the blood biochemistry parameters (triglycerides, cholesterol, urea, and uric acid) of nestlings of geolocator-tagged and control pairs. In chapter 3, we use, for the first time in birds, MHC loci as genetic markers to study migratory connectivity. This chapter is aimed to unravel the breeding origin of lesser kestrels wintering in two roosts located in Senegal and South Africa. 12
