Corrigendum
This is a corrigendum of the article Peshev et al. (2021). Due to a software malfunction during the data processing, the values in Table 4, columns 4-5 are incorrect. The correct values are given here in Table 1.
Table 1.
Correct values for Table 4, columns 4-5.
| Vulture key zone/ Country | Area used by vutures, 50% core area, km2 | Area used by vutures, 95% Home range, km2 |
| Alpo - Adriatic, Austria/ Italy/ Croatia | 144.45 | 3229.01 |
| Western Serbia, Serbia | 100.43 | 2356.42 |
| Vrachanski Balkan Nature Park, Bulgaria | 28.8 | 1197.21 |
| Eastern Balkan Mountain, Bulgaria | 13.76 | 626.3 |
| Struma and Vardar Velleys, Bulgaria/ North Macedonia | 107.3 | 3704.92 |
| Eastern Rhodopes, Bulgaria/ Greece | 236.54 | 4705.91 |
| Western Greece, Greece | 220.45 | 4387.11 |
The correct values must be taken in consideration also in the text, describing the results of Table 3 in the section "Defining vulture key zones in the Balkan Peninsula 1-7" and in the Abstract, where the sum of these values is included and is now corrected as follows: "The total home range 95% area of the Griffon Vulture population on the Balkans was estimated at 20,206.88 km² and the 50% core area at 851.73 km² (n = 48)."
In the section "Defining vulture key zones in the Balkan Peninsula" corrections were made in the numbers of tracked birds as follows: 3. Vrachanski Balkan Nature Park - corrected to "based on the location data of a total of 12 tracked birds.)"; 4. Eastern Balkan Mountain - corrected to "based on the location data of a total of 9 tracked birds)"; 6. Eastern Rhodopes - corrected to "(based on the location data of a total of 22 tracked birds)";
