“…An example of this, is the number of prey units (PU) and biomass quantified in spring (308 PU; 4,293 g) and summer (367 PU; 5,174 g), which would respond to a greater supply of male representatives of G. rosea during their period of reproduction ( Aguilera, Montenegro & Casanueva, 2019 ) or juveniles during terrestrial dispersal events that occur between December and March ( Montenegro-Vargas, Montenegro-Heidke & Aguilera, 2022 ). The high richness of this taxon in the diet of B. magellanicus was due to the exhaustive taxonomic identification of invertebrates, which revealed a high participation in its composition and biomass in comparison to other studies of diet of this owl in Chile ( Yáñez, Rau & Jaksic, 1978 ; Jaksic & Yáñez, 1980 ; Jaksic, Yáñez & Rau, 1986 ; Tala, González & Bonacic, 1995 ; Mella et al, 2016 ; Muñoz Pedreros et al., 2017 ; Martínez, 2018 ; Vega, Jara & Mella, 2018 ; Zuñiga et al, 2022 ). Nevertheless, a low diversity diet was determined due to an almost exclusive consumption of invertebrates (97.75%), specifically G. rosea (87.86%), thus obtaining the lowest value of trophic niche breadth described in B. magellanicus in a Mediterranean habitat ( B = 0.37; B STA = 0.01) ( Yáñez, Rau & Jaksic, 1978 ; Jaksic & Yáñez, 1980 ; Muñoz Pedreros et al., 2017 ).…”
