“…It should be noted that the Asian Long-legged Buzzard is currently occupying areas in the Middle East that have been identified as highly favourable for the Atlas Long-legged Buzzard 58 . This situation is likely preventing the establishment of the Atlas Long-legged Buzzard because of possible competitive exclusion [59][60][61] . It may also be the main reason for the high over-prediction rate and high Pch of the climatic favourability model for the Atlas Long-legged Buzzard (Table 2, Fig.…”

The recent modification of species distribution ranges in response to a warmer climate has constituted a major and generalized biogeographic change. The main driver of the shift in distribution is the disequilibrium of the species ranges with their climatic favourability. Most species distribution modelling approaches assume equilibrium of the distribution with the environment, which hinders their applicability to the analysis of this change. Using fuzzy set theory we assessed the response to climate change of a historically African species, the Atlas Long-legged Buzzard. With this approach we were able to quantify that the Buzzard’s distribution is in a latitudinal disequilibrium of the species distribution with the current climate of 4 km, which is driving the species range northwards at a speed of around 1.3 km/year, i.e., it takes 3 years for the species to occupy new climatically favourable areas. This speed is expected to decelerate to 0.5 km/year in 2060–2080.

“…Как результат, систематики «смягчили» требования БКВ, подгоняя её под случаи «межвидовой» гибридизации (см. Short, 1969;Панов, 1993) и объявили, что гибридизация не является больше препятствием для видового ранга (del Hoyo et al, 1994;Johnson et al, 1999;Helbig et al, 2002;Tobias et al, 2010; Редькин и др., 2015; Коблик и др., 2019). Тем самым, БКВ была «выхолощена» и потеряла свой основной критерий -репродуктивную изоляцию.…”

“…Due to the same relativity and as a result of only one-sided accumulation of differences, the descendants of one lineage (taxon A3) reach the B-species level in relation to their paleontological ancestor (A) in only 5 million years -the time is twice as long as it is necessary in relation to the sister taxon. genetic ones (Haring et al, 1999;Kruckenhauser et al, 2004;Jowers et al, 2019), significantly exceed those of subspecies. Thus, these Buzzards, unambiguously, are semispecies in relation to each other and their rank in the biological system can no longer change, at least in the next several hundred thousand years.…”

“…In the unrestrained fragmentation of species that has unfolded recently, one can also see a positive side -the sooner all subspecies and faceless haplotypes acquire the rank of a species, the faster the inconsistency of the trinary system will become apparent. различия между ними, в том числе и молекулярно-генетические (Haring et al, 1999;Kruckenhauser et al, 2004;Jowers et al, 2019), значительно превосходят подвидовые. Тем самым, эти курганники однозначно являются полувидами по отношению друг к другу и их ранг в биологической системе уже не может больше измениться, по крайней мере, в ближайшие несколько сотен тысяч лет.…”

“…And since these forms have a relatively low level of divergence, HSC does not allow us to fully apply biological species concept (BSC) in practice, no matter how scientif ically justified the latter may seem to us. As a result, taxonomists "relaxed" the requirements of the BSC, fitting it to cases of "interspecific" hybridization (see Short, 1969;Panov, 1993) and declared that hybridization is no longer an obstacle to species rank (del Hoyo et al, 1994;Johnson et al, 1999;Helbig et al, 2002;Tobias et al, 2010;Redkin et al, 2015;Koblik et al, 2019). Thus, the BSC was "emasculated" and lost its main criterion -reproductive isolation.…”

The main disadvantage of the generally accepted trinary system of around-species nomenclature is the lack of a species concept. This leads to the fact that any lower taxon can be declared a species or subspecies, and any combination of these taxa of arbitrary rank is correct and legitimate, by definition, and therefore cannot even be discussed. Ambiguity of the level of divergence of species creates a “species problem” and makes the question – species or subspecies – meaningless. The solution to the “species problem” can be the creation of a nomenclature system with a "own" species concept. The only concept whose criteria are objective (reproductive isolation and sympatry) and, more importantly, correspond to a certain level of divergence, and that have a biological meaning, is a biological species concept. However, the use of this concept is difficult due to the uncertainty of the degree of reproductive isolation. Therefore, a revised definition of a biological species (B-species) as a category of taxonomy is proposed – this is a level of divergence that provides reproductive isolation sufficient for sympatry (with other closely related forms). Accordingly, as a physical object, the B-species can be defined as a set of sister populations that are incapable to sympatry with each other. The level of B-species is very high, therefore, for forms intermediate between subspecies and B-species, an additional category is needed – a semi-species. Unlike subspecies, which differ only in size and color, a semi-species must have at least one of the following features: 1 – obvious differences in the preference for environmental conditions; 2 – a certain assortative mating with other semi-species; 3 – reduced fertility of hybrids; 4 – significant differences in morphology, physiology, behavior, etc.; 5 – the hybridization zone is relatively very narrow (parapatry). The taxonomy of birds of prey (Falconiformes, Accipitriformes) of Northern Eurasia is presented in a new (genus, B-species, semi-species, subspecies) system of categories and nomenclature.

A plethora of studies have offered crucial insights in the phylogeographic status of Western Palearctic bird species. However, an overview integrating all this information and analyzing the combined results is still missing. In this study, we compiled all published peer-reviewed and grey literature available on the phylogeography of Western Palearctic bird species. Our literature review indicates a total number of 198 studies, with the overwhelming majority published as journal articles (n = 186). In total, these literature items offer information on 145 bird species. 85 of these species are characterized by low genetic differentiation, 46 species indicate genetic variation but no geographic structuring i.e. panmixia, while 14 species show geographically distinct lineages and haplotypes. Majority of bird species inhabiting the Western Palearctic display genetic admixture. The glaciation cycles in the past few million years were pivotal factors in shaping this situation: during warm periods many species expanded their distribution range to the north over wide areas of Eurasia; whereas, during ice ages most areas were no longer suitable and species retreated to refugia, where lineages mixed.
