However, the number of owl nests increased in similar proportion in Mar Chiquita (+ 25%) and Camet Norte (+ 26%), and the maximum nest density was also similar for both villages (~ 0.14 nests/ha). Our results indicate that, unlike many raptors that are negatively affected by urbanization...
The full geographic distribution and habitat use of the Florida Burrowing Owl, a state "Species of Special Concern," is not well-understood, particularly in remote, non-urban areas. This thesis aimed to expand and improve knowledge about non-urban burrowing owls. We first compiled databases of ...
especially when considering habitat alteration and urbanization. Using the burrowing owl (Athene cunicularia) as an ecological model we tested two hypotheses: (1) the landscape of urban areas influences trajectories of the burrowing owl, which responds changing its displacement patterns, and (2) mode...
beecheyi burrows may also kill commensal species, such as the California tiger salamander (Ambystoma cali- forniense) and burrowing owl. Recreational shooting of other ground squirrel species also occurs throughout their ranges; carcasses of shot squirrels are known to pose a lead poisoning hazard ...
However, these measures could affect other populations, including special status species such as the San Joaquin kit fox, burrowing owl, and badger. It has been suggested that in areas where high densities of gopher burrowing systems are found, controlling populations in the immediate vicinity of ...
Taken together, these results challenge the previous hypothesis of a relict distribution of the Burrowing Owl as a consequence of climatically induced modifications of the Caribbean environment since the last glaciation.Gala, MonicaLaroulandie, Véronique...

Distribution and habitat characterization of the Florida burrowing owl in non-urban areasMark Mueller
The Burrowing OwlAthene cunicularia(Molina, 1782) (Aves: Strigiformes) has achieved some success in its adaptive process in anthropic environments. The main objective of this study was to measure distribution of this species in urban areas. The specific objectives were to quantify and compare the...
