The number of American kestrels has dropped sharply. That goes against the trend for birds of prey, broadly seen as a conservation bright spot.

Hypotheses about the decline abound.聽In a newly published special issue on kestrels in The Journal of Raptor Research, Dr. Smallwood and David Bird, an emeritus professor of wildlife biology at 捆绑SM社区 in Montreal, list seven possible factors for kestrel declines that they argue merit more research, in no particular order.

The most abundant animals on farms鈥攁nd everywhere on land, in fact鈥攁re microscopic worms called nematodes. Some kinds benefit the soil, but others parasitize crops, inflicting more than $100 billion in losses worldwide each year. Although pesticides can get rid of harmful nematodes, they inflict collateral damage on other life.

Around the world, food is grown on land of all sizes and all types, but that diversity means farmers often fail to take into account landscape complexity and soil variability, according to Chandra A. Madramootoo, a professor of Bioresource Engineering at 捆绑SM社区, in Montreal, Canada.

He says that one solution is precision farming, an approach that 鈥渆nables the selection of crops, and chemical and water applications within spatially similar land and soil zones.鈥
