Conservation measures undertaken to improve the population status of eastern imperial eagle (Aquila heliaca) in Bulgaria [PDF]
Abstract This study presents the results of conservation measures undertaken and their impact on the eastern imperial eagle population in Bulgaria. The species is distributed in the south-eastern part of the country, as there is only one known pair in central Bulgaria.

Unusual cases of nesting by the Imperial Eagle (Aquila heliaca) in Eastern Slovakia [PDF]
Abstract Long-term monitoring of the Imperial Eagle in Eastern Slovakia has revealed that some pairs living permanently in an active agricultural environment (agrocoenosis) prove capable of adapting even to extreme conditions. In three cases eagles built their nests near railway lines (59, 22 and 15 m from the tracks), and in one case almost ...

Survey for Hemoparasites in Imperial Eagles (Aquila heliaca), Steppe Eagles (Aquila nipalensis), and White-tailed Sea Eagles (Haliaeetus albicilla) from Kazakhstan [PDF]
Prevalence of hemoparasites has been investigated in many avian species throughout Europe and North America. Basic hematologic surveys are the first step toward evaluating whether host-parasite prevalences observed in North America and Europe occur elsewhere in the world. We collected blood smears from 94 nestling imperial eagles (Aquila heliaca), five

The Châtelperronian Neanderthals of Cova Foradada (Calafell, Spain) used imperial eagle phalanges for symbolic purposes. [PDF]
Evidence for the symbolic behavior of Neanderthals in the use of personal ornaments is relatively scarce. Among the few ornaments documented, eagle talons, which were presumably used as pendants, are the most frequently recorded.

Parlagi sas (Aquila heliaca) párok költésbiológiája a Hevesi-síkon
A parlagi sas (Aquila heliaca) hazánk egyik legnagyobb termetű ragadozómadara, amely 1954 óta fokozottan védett. Világszerte veszélyeztetett helyzetben lévő vágómadár, amelynek egyes európai, így a hazai állományai is örvendetesen növekszenek. A parlagi sas zavarásokra érzékeny faj. Igen jelentős a fiókák mortalitási aránya is.

Foraging Patterns of Non-Territorial Eastern Imperial Eagle (Aquila heliaca): A Case of Successful Adaptation [PDF]
The Optimal Foraging Theory predicts that, to maximize fitness, animals adapt their foraging strategy that provides the most benefit for the lowest cost, maximizing the net energy gained. While the diet of many breeding raptor populations is well known, studies on the foraging patterns of non-territorial birds of prey (floaters) are scarce.

Main mortality factors for the Eastern Imperial Eagle (Aquila heliaca Savigny, 1809) in Bulgaria [PDF]
Abstract The Eastern Imperial Eagle is a globally threatened species, represented with not more than 35–40 pairs in Bulgaria. As a facultative scavenger feeding on carcasses and parts of dead domestic and wild animals, this species is extremely vulnerable to poisonous baits and toxic agents, intentionally or accidentally set up in its ...

First breeding of the Imperial Eagle (Aquila heliaca) in the "Borská nížina" lowland (SW Slovakia)
First breeding of the Imperial Eagle (Aquila heliaca) in the "Borská nížina" lowland (SW Slovakia) In 2007, breeding of the Imperial Eagle in locality "Devínske jazero" lake (near the village of "Vysoká pri Morave", SW Slovakia) was observed. The pair fledged 2 young. This was the first recorded breeding of this species in the "Záhorie" region.

Temporal changes in the diet composition of the Eastern Imperial Eagle (Aquila heliaca) in Hungary [PDF]
Abstract The diet composition of breeding Eastern Imperial Eagles (Aquila heliaca) was analysed in Hungary between 2005 and 2017, and compared with two previously published datasets from the periods of 1982–1991 and 1992–2004. Altogether the distribution of 8543 prey items of 126 different species and 29 other taxa were analysed within a
