White-tailed eagles were almost eradicated in Germany at the beginning of the 20th century. Owing to extensive conservation efforts the German white-tailed eagle population recovered well in the course of the 20th century. Nevertheless, white-tailed eagles still suffer from various anthropogenic threats. The most important cause of death among white-tailed eagles in Germany are lead intoxications by lead bullet fragments and shot. The overall aim of this dissertation was to investigate the spatial use of adult, territorial white-tailed eagles and to discuss results with respect to habitat management and the lead poisoning problem. In the course of the project eight adult white-tailed eagles were fitted with GPS (Global Positioning System) transmitters in order to examine home range sizes and seasonal patters in home range use and to characterise extraterritorial forays. In a next step, habitat selection patterns of the tracked white-tailed eagles were investigated in detail. Finally, a habitat model and a habitat suitability map were developed using white-tailed eagle distribution data of the federal state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania to assess the amount of habitat still available for the expanding white-tailed eagle population.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Logos Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47037985128688,"sku":"9783832527006","price":54.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9783832527006_p0.jpg?v=1763687213","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783832527006","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
