Description
Summary:Identification of mortality factors and their significance along with dispersal pattern and spatial distribution of mortality events is essential for applying successful conservation measures for long lived species such as Eastern Imperial eagle (Aquila heliaca). We investigated mortality events of Eastern Imperial eagles from the Bulgarian population established by various methods - satellite tracking, casual records and powerline search. Totally 23 juvenile Eastern Imperial eagles have been fitted with Argos /GPS transmitters in their nests in Bulgaria in the period 2008-2013 and 16 of them were found dead.
