- Fig. 1. Consequences of bear predation: partly or completely destroyed nests. Approaching an in-use nest,the bear often partly dismantles it from one side, or makes a hole through its basement. Sometimes the bear breaks supporting branches, so that the nest falls down together with the brood. Photoby V. Masterov
- Fig. 2. Influence of breeding experience of territorial pairs (success, failure, bear predation) on the probabilityto nest the next year. After successful breeding eagles are more inclined to breed the next year(the probability of nesting 54.6 %). Nesting failure by other reasons reduces probability to breed by 10 %,bear predation reduces it even more, by 18 %, presumably due to the physical damage of nests
- Fig. 3. Spatial distribution of characteristics of breeding performance of the Steller’s Sea Eagle: productivity, bear predation pressure, and nestling mortality due to other causes. The diagrams are interpolation maps, constructed by inverse distance weighed interpolation of a point vector layer (IDW Interpolation Plugin of QGIS)
