A baseline survey of lesser kestrels Falco naumanni in central Turkey
TLDR
The second largest recorded population in the world and therefore of high conservation value is the Falco naumanni (Falco naumanni) of Turkey as discussed by the authors, which has a population estimate of 1500-3500 pairs.About:

Conflicts between Lesser Kestrel Conservation and European Agricultural Policies as Identified by Habitat Use Analyses
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied habitat use by the Lesser Kestrel (Falco naumanni ), a globally vulnerable spe- cies, in a Spanish pseudo-steppe (Los Monegros) where traditional agro-grazing systems are still being prac- ticed, and compared the results with those of another Spanish pseudo steppe where modern and intensive agriculture has been implemented.

Predictive models for Lesser Kestrel (Falco naumanni) distribution, abundance and extinction in southern Spain
TL;DR: Some climatic and land-use variables, as measured on the available maps, are good predictors of the presence of lesser kestrel colonies in southern Spain, but less good at predicting the probability of extinction of colonies or the number of breeding pairs.

Modelling the foraging habitat selection of lesser kestrels: conservation implications of European Agricultural Policies
TL;DR: In this article, a logistic regression model showed that the lesser kestrel, a globally threatened species, prefers to forage close to colonies, selects fields with livestock and avoids tree plantations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identifying the effectiveness and constraints of conservation interventions: A case study of the endangered lesser kestrel
TL;DR: It is found that colony growth was positively affected by the provisioning of artificial nests but negatively affected by predation rate and human disturbance, and Nest-site provisioning and the establishment of a protection status for buildings holding colonies are likely the most effective means to guarantee the long-term survival of this species.

Farmland habitat selection of wintering lesser kestrels in a Spanish pseudosteppe: Implications for conservation strategies
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied population size and habitat selection by wintering lesser kestrels in a Spanish pseudosteppe (Los Monegros), where traditional fallow systems for cereals are rapidly being replaced by intensive and/or irrigated crops.

The tasselled cap - A graphic description of the spectral-temporal development of agricultural crops as seen by Landsat
R. J. Kauth,G. S. Thomas +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the time trajectories of agricultural data points as seen in Landsat signal space form a pattern suggestive of a tasselled woolly cap, which is used to estimate and correct atmospheric haze and moisture effects.

Foraging habitat selection, land-use changes and population decline in the lesser kestrel Falco naumanni
TL;DR: The selection of foraging habitats by nine radio-tagged adult lesser kestrels breeding in one colony in southern Spain, was studied in 1989 and 1990 and there was a general tendency for grassland to be used more, and sunflower and woodlots to beused less, than expected by their availability.

Assessing growth and yield of wheat using remotely-sensed canopy temperature and spectral indices
TL;DR: In this article, a prediction model was developed for wheat to assess crop growth in terms of leaf area index, dry matter production and grain yield from remotely-sensed temperature and spectral indices.
