“…For example, strongly territorial individuals may travel shorter distances (Vassallo et al 1994, Bellocq 1998, whereas juvenile small mammals tend to disperse further (Sinclair et al 1990), thus making them more vulnerable to predators. Differential predation has been described in numerous owl species, e.g., Short-eared Owls (Asio flammeus; Blem et al 1993), Eurasian Eagle-Owl (Bubo bubo; Donazar and Ceballos 1989), Great Horned Owls (Bubo virginianus; Longland andJenkins 1987, Rohner andKrebs 1996), and Eastern Screech-Owls (Otus asio; Marti and Hogue 1979). Several studies of Barn Owls have described their tendency to feed on either smaller (Dickman et al 1991, Leonardi and Dell'Arte 2006, Granjon and Traoré 2007 or larger prey (Derting andCranford 1989, Castro andJaksic 1995), depending on seasonal changes in prey populations or habitat conditions.…”
