Top predators may adapt their diets to changes in prey availability where human-induced
environmental changes are intense. This long-term study of the breeding-season diet of …

The White-Tailed Eagle (WTE) Haliaeetus albicilla is a top avian predator that has rapidly
increased in numbers and range in large parts of Europe in recent decades. In Poland, over …

Understanding the trophic and demographic dynamics of apex predators is of paramount
importance for ecosystem conservation. Apex predators are usually free from predation, and …

Apex scavengers can perform an important ecosystem service by rapidly removing carrion,
in turn regulating nutrient cycling linked to carcass decomposition. Yet, our understanding of …

Understanding how human activities affect wildlife is fundamental for global biodiversity
conservation. Ongoing land use change and human‐induced climate change, compel …

Natal dispersal is a crucial period for raptors with serious implications for individuals'
survival and population demography. In this study we analyzed data from 18 GPS-tracked …

The Golden Eagle Aquila chrysaetos (hereafter GE) is one of Europe's largest avian top
predators. The present study recognizes the habitat characteristics and food composition of …

In territorial raptors, breeding performance and foraging behaviour are affected by territory
characteristics as the abundance and availability of different prey species varies between …

A reduction in adult survival in long-living species may compromise population growth rates.
The spur-thighed tortoise (Testudo graeca) is a long-lived reptile that is threatened by …

This article presents the long-term study results on the golden eagle Aquila chrysaetos
(Linnaeus, 1758) breeding population in the hilly and mountainous landscapes of western …
