  1. 1. A field-based estimation of eagle predation and scavenging on reindeer calves : towards mitigating human-wildlife conflicts

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies

    Author : Aemilius Johannes Van Der Meiden; [2023]
    Keywords : aquila chrysaetos; haliaeetus albicilla; rangifer tarandus; predation; repelling; human-wildlife conflict;

    Abstract : Eagle predation on semi-domesticated reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) calves, both golden (Aquila chrysaetos) and white-tailed eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla) is a well-known issue in Sweden. However, there is a knowledge gap regarding the balance between scavenging and hunting and the role that each of the eagle species has in this issue. READ MORE

  3. 2. Modelling habitat suitability index for golden eagle

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

    Author : Maya Johansson; [2020]
    Keywords : Golden Eagle habitat model; habitat suitability index; HSI; habitat modelling using GIS;

    Abstract : The aim in this study was to develop a model for the probability of finding active golden eagle nests during their breeding season. It was done by using environmental variables derived from expert models which were tested against empirical data. READ MORE

  4. 3. Eyes in the nest : breeding phenology of Golden Eagles characterized using remote cameras

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies

    Author : Richard Larsson; [2020]
    Keywords : Golden eagle; breeding; Aquila chrysaetos; camera trap; phenology; Sweden;

    Abstract : In situ monitoring of raptor breeding ecology with field personnel is costly, difficult and demanding. Installing camera traps in raptor nests can provide researchers with diverse information and long-term monitoring. Furthermore, it allows for relatively cheap data collection. READ MORE

  5. 4. Dietary preferences of Golden eagles (Aquila chrysaetos) in Sweden : a camera trap approach

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies

    Author : Tomas Melin; [2020]
    Keywords : Aquilla chrysaetos; breeding; camera trap; Golden eagle; nestling; prey; Sweden;

    Abstract : Food availability and suitable habitat are necessary for reproductive success of raptors. Monitoring these variables may therefore provide important insights on fitness and population dynamics of species such as the golden eagle (Aquila chrysaetos), which are often very difficult to monitor.

  6. 5. Not everything that glitters is gold : does linear infrastructure create an ecological trap for golden eagles?

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies

    Author : Michelle Etienne; [2020]
    Keywords : HIREC; animal ecology; animal movement; animal behaviour; integrated step selection function; wildlife traffic accidents; maladaptive behaviour; fitness; habitat selection;

    Abstract : Animals can be caught in an “ecological trap” when they select for seemingly attractive habitats at the expense of their fitness. This maladaptive behaviour is often a consequence of human induced rapid changes in their natal environment, such as the development of linear infrastructure, where roads and railways create novel feeding conditions through traffic induced mortality of other species and powerline areas provide perching or nesting sites.
