英文摘要	The North African population of Bonelli's Eagle Aquila fasciata (Vieillot, 1822) is limited to the south by the northern fringe of the Sahara Desert. This study provides the first data on the spatial distribution and density of breeding Bonelli's Eagles in south-west Morocco, at the southern limit of their breeding distribution in the Western Palearctic. We used broad-scale sampling to investigate spatial patterns in occupancy of territorial pairs of Bonelli's Eagles in an area of similar to 29 715 km2 in the western Anti-Atlas Mountains, southern Morocco, during 2016-2018. We found 28 nesting territories containing 40 used nests, heterogeneously distributed in areas of high topographic variation, from 60 to 1 890 m asl. The average nearest-neighbour nest distance was 14.12 +/- 9.90 km and varied from 2.65 km in the north-west to 37.80 km in the pre-Saharan lands in the south-west portion of the study area. This work shows the importance of the western Anti-Atlas Mountains as one of the most significant strongholds of the species in Morocco. However, there is a need for systematic analyses of the different factors affecting the distribution of the species to implement conservation actions of this peripheral population.
