Daily Temperature Cycles in Barred, Great-horned and Snowy Owls
(Speotyto cuniculuria) to a moving object when the object did and did not cast a conspicuous shadow. We used a single Burrowing Owl for all tests. It was trapped about 5 km north of Davis, Yolo County, California. We chose this species because it is easily trapped and because it often feeds nocturnally upon terrestrial prey, including rodents, and therefore may exploit shadow cues (Thomsen, Con...
متن کاملMicrosatellite loci for distinguishing spotted owls (Strix occidentalis), barred owls (Strix varia), and their hybrids
We identified four diagnostic microsatellite loci that distinguish spotted owls (Strix occidentalis), barred owls (Strix varia), F1 hybrids and backcrosses. Thirty-four out of 52 loci tested (65.4%) successfully amplified, and four of these loci (11.8%) had allele sizes that did not overlap between spotted and barred owls. The probability of correctly identifying a backcross with these four loc...
متن کاملBarred owls and landscape attributes influence territory occupancy of northern spotted owls
We used multi-season occupancy analyses to model 2 fates of northern spotted owl territories in relation to habitat amount, habitat fragmentation, and the presence of barred owls in Washington State, USA, 1989-2005. Local colonization is the probability a territory unoccupied by a spotted owl in year i would be occupied in year i + 1, and local extinction is the probability a territory that was...
متن کاملTransient dynamics of invasive competition: barred owls, spotted owls, habitat, and the demons of competition present.
The recent range expansion of Barred Owls (Strix varia) into the Pacific Northwest, where the species now co-occurs with the endemic Northern Spotted Owl (Strix occidentalis caurina), resulted in a unique opportunity to investigate potential competition between two congeneric, previously allopatric species. The primary criticism of early competition research was the use of current species' dist...
متن کاملGenetic Identification of Spotted Owls, Barred Owls, and Their Hybrids: Legal Implications of Hybrid Identity
Recent population expansion of Barred Owls ( Strix varia) into western North America has led to concern that they may compete with and further harm the Northern Spotted Owl ( S. occidentalis caurina), which is already listed as threatened under the U.S. Endangered Species Act (ESA). Because they hybridize, there is a legal need under the ESA for forensic identification of both species and their...
