Abstract

Understanding the consequences of urbanization on bird habitats and environments is crucial. This review examines the urban habitat of the Peregrine Falcon Falco peregrinus and its implications for population dynamics within the context of source-sink dynamics. Immigration from nonurban habitats primarily sustains urban peregrine populations, indicating the role of urban areas as sink habitats. As urbanization advances and nonurban habitats transform, it becomes crucial to understand the duration for which nonurban peregrine populations can continue to provide immigrants. Investigating the adaptive capabilities of peregrines in urban breeding conditions seem to be essential for assessing the potential establishment of self-sustaining urban populations.
