Genomics of extinction, reintroduction and recovery of white-tailed eagles (Haliaeetus albicilla) on the British Isles

白尾鹰在历史上曾在不列颠群岛广泛分布，但人类的迫害和栖息地的改变导致它们在20世纪初灭绝。爱尔兰、苏格兰和鬼魂岛已经重新推出了这部电影，预计会有更多影片上映(英格兰)或正在考虑中(威尔士)。人们对生物多样性的丧失知之甚少，这使得人们不清楚被释放的挪威鹰与已灭绝的英国种群有多相似，以及重新引入是否理想地应该来自不同的或更广泛的地理/遗传背景。此外，目前对白尾鹰引进的生态和遗传监测在整个不列颠群岛并不统一。

White-tailed eagles were historically widespread across the British Isles, but human persecution and habitat alterations led to their extinction by the early 20th century. Reintroductions have already happened in Ireland, Scotland and the Isle of Wight, with additional releases anticipated (England) or being considered (Wales). Little is known about what biodiversity was lost, rendering it unclear how similar the released Norwegian eagles are to the extinct UK population, and whether reintroductions should ideally draw from a different or wider geographic/genetic background. Furthermore, ecological and genetic monitoring of white-tailed eagle introductions is currently not unified across the British Isles.
