[HTML][HTML] The importance of population contextual data for large-scale biomonitoring using an apex predator: The Tawny Owl (Strix aluco)
Top predators are often used as sentinel species in contaminant monitoring due to their
exposure and vulnerability to persistent, bioaccumulative and, in some cases …

Generalized evidence for Bergmann's rule: body size variation in a cosmopolitan owl genus
Abstract Aim The eco‐geographical Bergmann's rule predicts that animals have smaller
body size in warmer regions than in cold environments because of thermoregulatory …

Home range size and habitat quality affect breeding success but not parental investment in barn owl males
Life-history theory predicts that parents should balance their limited resources to maximize
lifetime fitness, limiting their investment in current reproduction when the fitness value of …

The biogeography of diet diversity of barn owls on Mediterranean islands
F Janžekovič, T Klenovšek - Journal of Biogeography, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Abstract Aim Following the classical MacArthur‐Wilson island equilibrium model of species
richness, we hypothesize that island size and isolation affect prey composition and diet …

Evolution of wing length and melanin‐based coloration in insular populations of a cosmopolitan raptor
Aim Insular populations face different conditions than those living on continents, thus,
resulting in the evolution of typical insular phenotypes, like smaller body sizes or reduced …

[HTML][HTML] Holocene vertebrate assemblages provide the first evidence for the presence of the barn owl (Tytonidae, Tyto alba) on Socotra Island (Yemen)
We describe the vertebrate remains found in a Holocene deposit inside the Taiti Cave,
