This is a corrigendum of the article
The correct values must be taken in consideration also in the text, describing the results of Table 3 in the section "Defining vulture key zones in the Balkan Peninsula 1-7" and in the Abstract, where the sum of these values is included and is now corrected as follows: "The total home range 95% area of the Griffon Vulture population on the Balkans was estimated at 20,206.88 km² and the 50% core area at 851.73 km² (n = 48)."
In the section "Defining vulture key zones in the Balkan Peninsula" corrections were made in the numbers of tracked birds as follows: 3. Vrachanski Balkan Nature Park - corrected to "based on the location data of a total of 12 tracked birds.)"; 4. Eastern Balkan Mountain - corrected to "based on the location data of a total of 9 tracked birds)"; 6. Eastern Rhodopes - corrected to "(based on the location data of a total of 22 tracked birds)";
Correct values for Table 4, columns 4-5.
