Impact of nest‐trapping and radio‐tagging on breeding Golden Eagles Aquila chrysaetos in Argyll, Scotland
View through CrossRef
Golden Eagles Aquila chrysaetos in South Argyll, Scotland, have been monitored annually since 1964. Other workers trapped and radiotagged breeding adults there for a separate study during 1991–1996. Our analysis of our monitoring data shows that the trapping and tagging was followed by reduced reproductive success (proportion of territories producing young each year). Also, nest‐sites where adults had been trapped were used less frequently after the trapping.
