Within the early stages of raptors, the post-fledging dependency period (PFDP) is the one in which individuals must face dangers without having completely developed their skills. Thereby, comparing PFDP patterns concerning reintroduced and wild individuals is of major interest as it would help to plan and improve future conservation actions. We analyzed the behavior of 38 juvenile Bonelli's Eagles (Aquila fasciata) (15 reintroduced and 23 wild) tracked through GPS telemetry, tagged as nestlings in ?two insular environments. The study period encompassed 9-yr movement data from reintroduced chicks in Mallorca (Spain) and wild chicks from Sicily (Italy). Movement parameters (i.e., age of first flight, age of dispersal, length of the PFDP, revisits to the natal or release area, and residence time in them) were analyzed together with their behavior for reintroduced and wild individuals. Similar movement patterns were obtained for both origins, although wild individuals revisited the natal site more often and dispersed earlier. Behavior was also similar, though it varied throughout the PFDP, observing a more abrupt progress in wild individuals and an earlier development of travelling and hunting behaviors. Observed differences are probably related to food availability, which can improve body condition and thus delay onset of dispersal, together with parental presence, which can prompt an earlier ending of the PFDP by encouraging juvenile independence. In conclusion, our study provides valuable insights into the behavior of reintroduced Bonelli's Eagles during their PFDP and how it compares to their wild counterparts. Our results suggest that reintroduced individuals can successfully adapt to their environment and behave similarly to wild individuals. These findings can aid in the planning and improvement of future reintroduction projects and conservation actions for this endangered species. 收起
