California spotted owl habitat selection in a fire-managed landscape suggests conservation benefit of restoring historical fire regimes
Wildland fire is a disturbance that shapes frequent-fire forest ecosystems and the life-
histories of wildlife species that inhabit them. The California spotted owl (Strix occidentalis …

[HTML][HTML] Estimating population size for California spotted owls and barred owls across the Sierra Nevada ecosystem with bioacoustics
Monitoring population size at ecosystem scales is difficult for most species of conservation
concern. While assessing site occupancy at broad scales has proven feasible, rigorous …

Forest heterogeneity outweighs movement costs by enhancing hunting success and reproductive output in California spotted owls
Context The concept of landscape heterogeneity is central to species conservation; yet
understanding the processes by which heterogeneity affects species can be challenging in …

Large trees and forest heterogeneity facilitate prey capture by California Spotted Owls
Predators are among the most threatened animal groups globally, with prey declines
contributing to their endangerment. However, assessments of the habitat conditions that …

Landscape heterogeneity provides co‐benefits to predator and prey
Predator populations are imperiled globally, due in part to changing habitat and trophic
interactions. Theoretical and laboratory studies suggest that heterogeneous landscapes …

Framing management of social-ecological systems in terms of the cost of failure: the Sierra Nevada, USA as a case study
Managing complex social-ecological systems in an era of rapid climate change and
changing human pressures represents a major challenge in sustainability science. The …

Trophic interactions mediate the response of predator populations to habitat change
Identifying the mechanisms by which globally pervasive changes in habitat affect predators
is a central, yet challenging, endeavor in applied ecology. Cryptic shifts in trophic …

Elevational gradients strongly mediate habitat selection patterns in a nocturnal predator
Mountain ecosystems contain strong elevational gradients in climate and vegetation that
shape species distributions and the structure of animal communities. Nevertheless, studies …
