Abstract:
Populations of western burrowing owls (Athene cunicularia hypugaea) are declining. In the Great Plains this decline maybe related to a decline in black-tailed prairie dog (Cynomys ludovicianus) towns that the owls use for nest sites. One potential cause of prairie dog decline is conversion of native prairie to agriculture. We predicted that owl-occupied prairie dog towns would be in less fragmented landscapes that contain more prairie then owl-unoccupied prairie dog towns. To test this prediction, we used a geographic information system and spatial analysis metrics to examine the landscape wit

Abstract:
We examined nest- and roost-burrow characteristics from a declining population of burrowing owls (Athene cunicularia (Molina, 1782)) in Saskatchewan. Between 1992 and 2003, 84% of the 584 nests we found were in grassland pastures, even though these pastures constituted only 7% of the potentially available nesting area within our study area. In contrast, less than 3% of nests were in crop fields, despite these fields comprising 90% of the potentially available area. Within grassland pastures, owls selected nest burrows in areas with a higher density of burrows within 75 m (11.1 burrows/ha) comp

Abstract:
When a species successfully colonizes an urban habitat it can be expected that its population rapidly adapts to the new environment but also experiences demographic perturbations. It is, therefore, essential to gain an understanding of the population structure and the demographic history of the urban and neighbouring rural populations before studying adaptation at the genome level. Here, we investigate populations of the burrowing owl ( Athene cunicularia ), a species that colonized South American cities just a few decades ago. We assembled a high-quality genome of the burrowing owl and re-seq

Abstract:
The burrowing owl (Athene cunicularia), was once widely distributed throughout the western United States and Canada (Bent 1938), and was considered common on the prairie dog towns of South Dakota and Nebraska (Cooke 1888, Over and Thomas 1920). Recently however, concern over the birds status has resulted in its being listed as; "endangered" in two states (MN and lA), "threatened" across its range in Canada, and of "special concern" in seven states (WA, OR, CA, MT, WY, ND, FL) (Martell1990).

Abstract:
We show that a decapod crustacean, the sand bubbler crab (SBC) Scopimera globosa , uses suction, which is the tension of moisture in the sediment, to select habitats at normal times and at the time of disaster events, through a range of controlled laboratory experiments and field observations at various sandflats in Japan. When SBCs are released on fields with no spatial suction gradient, their direction of movement is random. However, the situation clearly changes with increasing suction gradients, in which case the SBCs move to suitable zones for burrowing. Predictions based on suction–burro

Abstract This paper tested the hypothesis that the structural components of vegetation have impact over the distribution of owl species in a fragment of a semi-deciduous seasonal forest. This paper also determined which vegetation variables contributed to the spatial distribution of owl species. It was developed in the Perobas Biological Reserve (PBR) between September and December 2011. To conduct the owl census, a playback technique was applied at hearing points distributed to cover different vegetation types in the study area. A total of 56 individual owls of six species were recorded: Trop

Abstract We assessed the effects of range disjunction, migratory habit, coloniality, and habitat structure on the genetic differentiation of North American Burrowing Owl (Athene cunicularia) populations. Burrowing Owls in North America comprise two forms or subspecies: A. c. floridana in Florida, separated by ∼1,500 km from the western form, A. c. hypugaea, which ranges from Texas to California and north to southern Canada. Burrowing Owls tend to be loosely colonial, and both the Florida populations and southerly populations of A. c. hypugaea from California to Texas are nonmigratory. To asses

Abstract:
The first observations of Florida burrowing owls (Athene cunicularia floridana) occurred in the 19th century on historical dry prairie habitat in south central Florida. These early observations documented the ecology of burrowing owls in rural environments. Since then the vast majority of research on this subspecies has been undertaken in suburban and urban environments during the breeding period. The research undertaken on burrowing owls in suburban and urban environments includes determining natal dispersal distance, assessing female fecundity, mate fidelity, territory fidelity, date of juve

Abstract:
Habitat selection has long been viewed as a multi-scale process. Observed species responses to resource gradients are influenced by variation at the scale of the individual, population, metapopulation, and geographic range. Understanding how species interact with habitat at multiple levels presents a complete picture of an organism and is necessary for conservation of endangered species. The main goal of this dissertation is to evaluate distribution, relative abundance, and habitat selection of a rare species, the pygmy rabbit Brachylagus idahoensis, at multiple scales in order to improve mana

I used a comparative and experimental approach to examine nest habitat selection, reproductive success, and nest site fidelity of burrowing owls (Athene cunicularia) in a large, non-fragmented grassland in southwest California. In 1999, I compared habitat characteristics between nest sites (n = 31) and randomly selected, unoccupied burrows (n = 31) in the local vicinity of the nest (paired burrows). In 2000, I compared habitat characteristics between nest sites (n = 33) and randomly selected, unoccupied burrows (n 32) within the study area (unpaired burrows). I examined reproductive success an

Large burrowing owl (Aihene cunicularia) populations exist in areas of intensive agriculture in California, and pesticide exposure has been identified as a potential threat to population persistence. I evaluated breeding season use of agricultural fields by adult male owls using radio telemetry, and examined egg contaminant residues to estimate population-level effects on reproduction and survival. Reproduction and survival were estimated annually, and an index of diet was inferred from pellet samples. A total of 11 adult males in 1998 and 22 in 1999 were successfully radio-tracked. Mean fixed
