Breaking the Shell presents the first scientific approach, by means of an aerial survey, to the status of the breeding population of the golden eagle in the Baja California peninsula. Throughout the book, its biology, ecology and cultural relevance are explored, as well as the threats faced by the species in a global and regional context. The author develops an innovative methodological approach that combines aerial monitoring, spatial analysis and ecological niche modeling to identify nesting patterns and priority conservation areas. The results reveal the close relationship between climatic, geomorphological and ecological variables in the selection of breeding habitat, highlighting the complexity of their conservation. This book not only provides key scientific knowledge, but also proposes concrete tools for decision making, positioning itself as a reference for researchers, environmental managers and decision makers committed to the protection of this emblematic species.

Forest Monitoring, 12
<p>The demand for comparable, long-term, high quality data on forest ecosystems' status and changes is increasing at the international and global level. Yet, sources for such data are limited and in many case it is not possible to compare data from different monitoring initiatives across space and time because of methodological differences. Apart from technical manuals, there is no comprehensive multidisciplinary, scientific, peer-reviewed reference for forest monitoring methods that can serve and support the user community. This book provides in a single reference the state-of-the-art of monitoring methods as applied at the international level. </p> <p>The book present scientific concepts and methods that form the basis of the transnational, long-term forest monitoring in Europe and looks at other initiatives at the global level. Standardized methods that have been developed over two decades in international forest monitoring projects are presented. Emphasis is put on trans-nationally harmonized methods, related data quality issues, current achievements and on remaining open questions.</p><br>
