From: Predation impact on threatened spur-thighed tortoises by golden eagles when main prey is scarce
Relationships between predation rate on spur-thighed tortoise by golden eagle and (A) tortoise abundance within the 5 km eagle territorial radius (functional response), (B) %N of rabbit in eagles’ diet, and (C) rabbit abundance index. n = 11 golden eagle territories with sufficient diet data (for territories with > 1 year sampled, mean values are represented). Only case (B)showed a significant relationship (R2 = 0.72, P = 0.001). Territories T1 and T5 (see text) are shown in case (C).
