Hunting Levels of Turtle Dove () at Sites Where Food Is Provided: Implications for Sustainable Harvesting.

In some regions of Spain, hunting grounds conduct management targeting the European turtle dove (), a commonly hunted species, and unsustainable harvesting levels at these sites have been identified as one of the factors responsible for the species' decline across its range. In hunting grounds where food was provided, we estimated the local turtle dove abundance before the hunting season, productivity (juvenile/adult ratio) and harvesting levels using harvest data from managed grounds over 4 years (2009, 2015, 2019 and 2020). Compared to previous research, a higher productivity value was found (median 1.
