K., Davison, M. and Lambin, X Density-dependent increase in superpredation linked to food limitation in a recovering population of northern goshawks Accipiter gentilis. J. Avian Biol. doi: /jav Supplementary material
2 Appendix 1: The number of occupied northern goshawk home-ranges in Kielder Forest, UK
3 Appendix 2: The average number of kestrels, tawny owls and sparrowhawks killed by the goshawk population each year To estimate the average number of each species killed by the goshawk population each year, we first calculated the average number of each species killed per pair of goshawks, each year when 1-14, and 25+ goshawk home-ranges were occupied, using the following equation taken from Petty et al. (2003). IK = (CF + CM + CY) * (PT) / M IK is the estimated number of individuals killed by a pair of goshawks between March and August (184 days). CF = estimated total food consumption of a female goshawk during the breeding season (189g of food per day * 184 days). CM = total food consumption of a male goshawk during the breeding season (133g of food per day * 184 days). The daily food consumption values used for male and female goshawk are the same as those used by Petty et al. (2003), originally calculated by Kenward et al. (1981). CY = total food consumption of young goshawks (i.e. offspring) during the breeding season (161g of food per day (CF+CM/2) * 108 days * mean fledged brood size of breeding pairs). The mean fledged brood size of goshawks was 2.19 in years when fewer than 15 home-ranges were occupied, 1.93 when home-ranges were occupied and 1.31 when 25 or more home-ranges were occupied. The CY estimate assumes that young goshawks: 1) hatch around mid-may; 2) do not leave their natal territory until August; and 3) that juveniles have the same overall food intake as adults. Although young nestlings require less food than adults, older nestlings require more, such that when averaged over the entire period nestling food intake can be assumed to be equivalent to that of adults. M = average mass of the prey species. We used an average mass of 208g for kestrel (Ratcliffe 1993); 470g for tawny owl and 205g for sparrowhawk (Robinson 2005). PT = proportion biomass of the prey species in the diet. We used the dietary data to estimate of the proportion biomass of each of the three mesopredator species in goshawk diet for each of the three goshawk abundance categories (i.e. using pooled annual diet data collected when the number of occupied goshawk home-ranges was 1-14, and 25+). This average proportion was then used in the above equation to calculate the number of individuals of each species killed during the breeding season by a goshawk pair. To get an estimate of the total number of each species killed each year by the entire goshawk population and how that has changed as the goshawk population increased in abundance, we multiplied our estimate of the number of individuals killed by a pair of goshawks (IK) by the average number of home-ranges occupied by goshawks for each of the goshawk abundance categories. The average number of home-ranges occupied in each goshawk abundance category was estimated to be 6.5, and when respectively 1-14, and 25+ goshawk home-ranges were occupied.
4 Appendix 3: List of the species killed by northern goshawks in Kielder Forest, and the taxonomic prey group they were assigned to, along with the body mass used for each species to estimate their percentage biomass contribution to goshawk diet. We were not always able to differentiate between male and female prey remains, consequently we used the midpoint between the average mass for males and females in our biomass estimates. Body mass estimates for birds were obtained from the British Trust for Ornithology ( and mass estimates for mammals were obtained from the British Mammal Society ( Prey group Common name Mass (g) Corvid Carrion crow/rook (Corvus corone/c. frugilegus 510 Corvid Eurasian jay (Garrulus glandarius) 170 Corvid Jackdaw (Corvus monedula) 220 Corvid Magpie (Pica pica) 220 Corvid Raven (Corvus corax) 1200 Game Black grouse (Tetrao tetrix) 1065 Game Pheasant (Phasianus colchicus) 1190 Game Red grouse (Lagopus lagopus scotica) 600 Game Red-legged partridge (Alectoris rufa) 490 Mammal Common shrew (Sorex araneus) 9.5 Mammal European hare (Lepus europaeus) 3500 Mammal European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) 1600 Mammal Field vole (Microtus agrestis) 30 Mammal Grey squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) Mammal Mole (Talpa europaea) 100 Mammal Pygmy shrew (Sorex minutus) 4 Mammal Rat (Rattus norvegicus) 360 Mammal Red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) 200 Mammal Stoat (Mustela erminea) Mammal Weasel (Mustela nivalis) Other Blackbird (Turdus merula) 100 Other Black-headed gull (Chroicocephalus ridibundus) 290 Other Blue tit (Cyanistes caeruleus) 10.5 Other Budgerigar (Melopsittacus undulatus) 35 Other Chaffinch (Fringilla coelebs) 24 Other Coal tit (Periparus ater) 9 Other Common frog (Rana temporaria) 22.7 Other Common gull (Larus canus) 400 Other Common lizard (Zootoca vivipara) 4 Other Common toad (Bufo bufo) 55 Other Crossbill (Loxia curvirostra) 43 Other Cuckoo (Cuculus canorus) 120 Other Curlew (Numenius arquata) 985 Other Domestic chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus) 1900 Other Eurasian bullfinch (Pyrrhula pyrrhula) 21 Other Fieldfare (Turdus pilaris) 100
