Common Buzzard (Buteo buteo) Science Article 3 abstract The complete sequence of the mitochondrial (mt) genome of Buteo buteo was determined. Its gene content and nucleotide composition are typical for avian genomes. Due to expanded noncoding sequences, Buteo possesses the longest mt genome sequenced so far (18,674 bp). The gene order comprising the control region […]

Numerical response of common buzzards and predation rate of main and alternative prey under fluctuating food conditions.
Common Buzzard (Buteo buteo) Science Article 2 abstract We studied the numerical response of a population of the common buzzard Buteo buteo to the fluctuations of its main prey (voles) and alternative prey (forest grouse) in western Finland between 1979 and 1996. Populations of main prey fluctuated in a cyclic manner with three years between […]
Breeding density and brood size of Common Buzzard Buteo buteo in relation to snow cover in spring
Common Buzzard (Buteo buteo) Science Article 4 abstract In a 500 km2 study area situated 100-400 m above sea level in southern Norway, breeding density and offspring production of Common Buzzard Buteo buteo was studied in relation to snow depth in spring during 1985-97. Because a thick snow layer will reduce the availability of the […]
