In the present study, we investigated how the quality of breeding environment, as gauged by home range size, predicted individual reproductive success and parental effort in a large number of barn owl males. We found that individuals breeding in high-quality habitats, which include a large proport...
Primary auditory nerve fibers were labelled in the barn owl by localized horseradish peroxidase (HRP) injections into the cochlear nucleus angularis. They were followed to their terminal sites in the hearing organ (basilar papilla), confirming that they were auditory, and to the cochlear nucleus ...
In this study, we estimated the heritability of baseline and stress-induced corticosterone levels in barn owl (Tyto alba) nestlings from 8 years of data, using a multivariate animal model based on a behavioural pedigree. We found that baseline and stress-induced corticosterone levels are strongly ...
