| Summary: | European populations of the white-tailed eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla) suffered a drastic decline during the 20th century. In many countries, only a few dozen breeding pairs survived or the species disappeared completely. By today, the populations have recovered, naturally or through restocking (e.g. in Scotland or the Czech Republic). In the Carpathian Basin, which is now a stronghold in southern Europe for the species in the southern part of the distribution range with more than 500 breeding pairs, only about 50 pairs survived the bottleneck. This region provides important wintering places for individuals arriving from different regions of Eurasia. In the present study, we investigated 249 DNA samples from several European countries, using 11 microsatellites and mitochondrial control region sequences (499 bp), to answer two main questions: 1) Did the Carpathian Basin population recover through local population expansion or is there a significant gene flow from more distant populations as well? 2) Does the ... : Individual genotypes of European white-tailed eaglesThis TAB-delimited text file contains genotypes from 11 nuclear microsatellite loci and approximate locations of white-tailed eagles from across Europe. Additionally, haplotypes from the mitochondrial control region based on 499 bp fragments are shown for each sequenced individual.
