“…White et al (2013) analyzed the more variable control region of 219 Peregrine Falcons, which included 12 subspecies (but not brookei). The result corresponds to the data from Bell et al (2014) and our data, and implies that the subspecies cannot be defined genetically unambiguously and that a strong gene flow has taken place and probably still takes place.…”

“…The genetic distances within the subspecies range between 0.01 and 0.8%, indicating differentiation within the last 5000 to 400000 years. Our findings are confirmed by Bell et al (2014), whose genetic distances in the cyt-b gene within Peregrine Falcons were between 0.001 and 1%.…”

“…In conclusion; for the Peregrine Falcon a natural mixture between the subspecies is widespread phenomenon, which is also supported by the results of White et al (2013) and Bell et al (2014).…”

“…F. pelegrinoides, formerly separated as Barbary Falcon, is clearly a Peregrine Falcon and should therefore be considered as a subspecies with F. peregrinus. The Taita Falcon (F. fasciinucha) from Africa is very closely related to the Peregrine Falcon (Bell et al 2014) and might be regarded as a subspecies of the Peregrine Falcon rather than an independent species.…”

“…In addition to our studies, the phylogeny of Peregrine Falcons has also been investigated in two further research groups (White et al 2013, Bell et al 2014. Bell et al (2014) investigated sequences of the cyt b gene of 41 Peregrine Falcons and 11 subspecies. They identified 16 haplotypes, which do not show any correlation with distribution and subspecies status.…”

We first examine how falcons can be integrated into avian tree of life. Then we go one step further and investigate the position of Peregrine Falcons in a comprehensive phylogeny of the falcons (genus Falco), which was reconstructed on the basis of DNA sequences. Whether the 19 subspecies of the Peregrine Falcon can be identified genetically is examined in the next step. Recently, the question of Peregrine Falcon’s genetics in Central Europe has become of wider interest. Which subspecies was present before the collapse of populations and which currently after various reintroduction projects? Evidence is provided, that Central Europe constitutes a (natural) hybrid zone between F. p. brookei from the Mediterranean and F. p. peregrinus of northern Europe.
