Habitat selection by owls in a seasonal semi-deciduous forest in southern Brazil.
This paper tested the hypothesis that the structural components of vegetation have impact over the distribution of owl species in a fragment of a semi-deciduous seasonal forest. This paper also determined which vegetation variables contributed to the spatial distribution of owl species. It was developed in the Perobas Biological Reserve (PBR) between September and December 2011. To conduct the ...
متن کاملImportance of environmental and spatial gradients on patterns and consequences of resource selection.
Strategies to conserve rare species require identifying resources that function as important habitat elements and that promote high demographic performance. Assessing the relative importance of resources, however, can be confounded by natural variation in resource availability and by the hierarchical spatial structure in which resources are organized. Because availability and relative importanc...
متن کاملSpatial, Temporal, and Density-Dependent Components of Habitat Quality for a Desert Owl
Spatial variation in resources is a fundamental driver of habitat quality but the realized value of resources at any point in space may depend on the effects of conspecifics and stochastic factors, such as weather, which vary through time. We evaluated the relative and combined effects of habitat resources, weather, and conspecifics on habitat quality for ferruginous pygmy-owls (Glaucidium bras...
متن کاملAnti-predator Responses of Neotropical Resident and Migrant Birds to Familiar and Unfamiliar Owl Vocalizations on the Yucatan Peninsula
– To reduce predation risk, animals must employ effective predator-detection strategies. Many species rely on prior experience, or learning, to detect predation risk, but this strategy is ineffective when exposed to an unfamiliar potential predator. Many species, however, exhibit an innate response to potential predator species but to our knowledge, no studies have examined the response of bird...
متن کاملHome Range and Habitat Selection of Spotted Owls in the Central Sierra Nevada
We studied home range and habitat selection of radio-marked adult California spotted owls (Strix occidentalis occidentalis) randomly selected from among the breeding population of owls in the central Sierra Nevada, California from June to October 2006. The most parsimonious home-range estimate for our data was 555 ha (SE 1⁄4 100 ha). Home-range size was positively correlated with the number of ...
