Here, we used a multidisciplinary approach to a) reconstruct the process of colonization of the Mediterranean Basin by a long-lived bird of prey, the Bonelli’s eagle (Aquila fasciata), and b) test the hypothesis that this colonization was unintentionally favored by anatomically modern humans through a release of competition by dominant species, primarily golden eagles (A. chrysaetos). For this, we used distribution, genetics, fossils, and ecological data. Data archived in Dryad includes all genetic information (Genetic_data.xlsx) and a portion of the ecological data (Ecological_data-provinces.xlsx, Ecological_data-nuclei.xlsx, Ecological_data-GLMs.xlsx, Ecological_data-reciprocal_occupation.xlsx), while the remaining data can be accessed from a) tables included in the manuscript and b) the original sources.
