Figure 1: Panel A shows the proportion of studies with small sample size (less than ten individuals equipped with biologgers) registered annually in Movebank. Results show a significantly increasing trend during the period 2000-2021 (linear model, R2 = 0.72; p <0.001). Panel B compares raptor biologging projects conducted in the Iberia Peninsula (N=462 between 1978 and 2020) before and after the year 2000 according to their scientific output: scientific papers, grey literature or not published in any format. Panel C represents the number of tracked birds in each raptor biologging project performed in the Iberia peninsula. Projects with insufficient metadata were excluded.
