The Boreal Owl: Ecology, Behaviour and Conservation of a Forest-Dwelling Predator

摘要: Widespread in North American forest regions including the Rocky Mountains, Boreal Owl (Aegolius funereus) was once most numerous predatory bird Eurasian boreal forests. Synthesising results of unique long-term studies Owls, this book explores hunting modes, habitats and foods, prey interactions, mating parental care, reproduction, dispersal, survival mortality, population regulation conservation Providing a detailed introduction to species, authors study complex interactions Owls with their species. They examine inter-sexual tug-of-war over behavioural demographic adaptations environmental conditions that predictably markedly fluctuate both seasonally multi-annually. also question whether are able time reproductive effort maximise lifetime success. Discussing effect modern forestry practices on owl populations, examines how could be managed sustain viable populations.
