Although rocks and vegetation constituted the habitat of Audouin{\textquoteright}s Gulls, there were many intercolony differences in the use of these habitat features, especially those related to vegetation. Discriminant Function Analysis (DFA) indicated that vegetation parameters effectively identified habitat variables at nests. Different habitat variables discriminated between nest and random quadrats in three colonies. Percent rock cover around nests varied. The gulls nested relatively far from the available protruding rocks without a tendency to nest near rock crevices and, in two colonies, rock height had no relation with nest placement. In two of three of the colonies, gulls nested farther from vegetation, in lower vegetation, and in one colony percent vegetation cover at nests was higher than that generally available. Differences in vegetation types on each island partly accounted for such differences. Bushy plants seemed to be more important for the protection of larger chicks, rather than for nest sites, whereas the halophyte Limonium vulgare was mostly used for egg support.

A national population survey was conducted during the breeding seasons 2004-2006 in order to assess the species{\textquoteright} breeding distribution and population size. This census was the first of its kind and was part of a global population survey, involving more than 80 field workers. Standard field protocols, described in the International Species Action Plan, and a GIS interactive database were developed. Data were stored and spatially explored in conjunction to historical information and past records. A total of about 17,660 falcons were counted or an estimated 12,300 breeding pairs, which were concentrated in six major regions, i.e., northeast Aegean, Sporades, east Cyclades, Antikythira, southwest Dodecanese and the satellite islets of eastern Crete. Compared to previous descriptions of breeding colonies and population status, spatial variation in site occupancy was detected with a population decline in one of the aforementioned regions and an apparent increase in all the rest. The results of this national survey, expected to be repeated every 10 years, provided guidance for reviewing the conservation status of Eleonora{\textquoteright}s Falcon in Greece and baseline information for future monitoring of its population.}, keywords = {Aegean sea, birds, breeding distribution, Eleonora{\textquoteright}s Falcon, population census}, isbn = {0021-8375}, author = {Dimalexis, A. and Xirouchakis, S. and Portolou, D. and Latsoudis, P. and Karris, G. and Fric, J. and Georgiakakis, P. and Barboutis, C. and Bourdakis, S. and Ivovic, M. and Kominos, T. and Kakalis, E.} } @conference {1987, title = {Preliminary Results of Monitoring the Breeding Performance of the Eleonora{\textquoteright}s Falcon Falco eleonorae in Greece}, booktitle = {10th International Congress on the Zoogeography and Ecology of Greece and Adjacent Regions}, year = {2006}, month = {26-30 June}, publisher = {Hellenic Zoological Society, Hellenic Ornithological Society, Hellenic Ministry of Rural Development, Section of Animal Biology (Dept.
