Assessing the causes of breeding failure among the rough-legged buzzard (Buteo lagopus) during the nestling period

When food becomes scarce, the youngest nestlings in facultatively siblicidal raptor species typically die and such events are usually attributed to siblicide. Here we present results from an investigation in the Arctic tundra, in which rough-legged buzzard (Buteo lagopus) breeding success was monito...
