摘要

Capsule: The breeding season diets of White-tailed Eagles and Golden Eagles in western Scotland were different, and there was no evidence of competition between the two species. Aim: To test the hypothesis that the reintroduced White-tailed Eagles will have an adverse effect on Golden Eagles through competition for food. Methods: Collections of prey remains at nests and regurgitated pellets during the breeding season were analysed. Temporal change in Golden Eagle territory occupancy and breeding productivity where the influence of White-tailed Eagles should be most evident was also examined. Results: Diet breadth was similar between species but diet composition was significantly different, with White-tailed Eagles taking more sheep and aquatic or coastal food items, whereas Golden Eagles took more gamebirds (Galliformes), lagomorphs and other terrestrial prey. Diet overlap comparisons, between species-pairs that nested close together or far apart, rejected a hypothesis that there was competition for food, but partially supported an alternative hypothesis that diet overlap indicated abundant shared food. There was no indication that White-tailed Eagles have had any long-term effect on the breeding productivity or abundance of territorial Golden Eagles. Conclusions: There is no evidence that reintroduced White-tailed Eagles are having an adverse effect on Golden Eagles through competition.
