Ethics approval and consent to participate
: The performed sampling procedures and analyses are consistent with the Directive 2010/63/EU, the Italian national regulations and the indications of the Ethics Committee of the Universities of Perugia and Viterbo (Italy). The approval by the Ethics Committee was not necessary because of the nature of the samples (museal individuals) and of the non-invasive in vivo sampling method. In fact, just two feathers were collected from live animals excluding those having a functional role. Birds were immediately released at the same sampling site. The sampling campaign was authorized by local authorities with the scientific ISPRA authorization number 12184.
