Widespread in North American forest regions including the Rocky
Mountains, the Boreal Owl (Aegolius funereus) was once the most
numerous predatory bird in Eurasian boreal forests. Synthesising
the results of unique long-term studies of Boreal Owls, this book
explores hunting modes, habitats and foods, prey interactions,
mating and parental care, reproduction, dispersal, survival and
mortality, population regulation and conservation in boreal
forests. Providing a detailed introduction to the species, the
authors study the complex interactions of Boreal Owls with their
prey species. They examine the inter-sexual tug-of-war over
parental care, and the behavioural and demographic adaptations to
environmental conditions that predictably and markedly fluctuate
both seasonally and multi-annually. They also question whether
Boreal Owls are able to time their reproductive effort to maximise
lifetime reproductive success. Discussing the effect of modern
forestry practices on owl populations, the book also examines how
Boreal Owls could be managed to sustain viable populations.
