Widespread exposure of powerful owls to second-generation anticoagulant rodenticides in Australia spans an urban to agricultural and forest landscape
The powerful owl (Ninox strenua) is a threatened apex predator that consumes mainly
arboreal marsupial prey. Low density populations reside in urban landscapes where their …

Competing for crevices: interspecific conflict influences retreat-site selection in montane lizards
T Langkilde, R Shine - Oecologia, 2004 - Springer
Direct interference competition between sympatric taxa affects habitat use and shelter-site
selection in species within most major vertebrate lineages. However, studies on interspecific …

Behavioral responses of native prey to disparate predators: naiveté and predator recognition
JR Anson, CR Dickman - Oecologia, 2013 - Springer
It is widely accepted that predator recognition and avoidance are important behaviors in
allowing prey to mitigate the impacts of their predators. However, while prey species …

Species distribution models derived from citizen science data predict the fine scale movements of owls in an urbanizing landscape
Apex predators are critical to ecological function, however their life history traits are often not
conducive to survival in urban environments. While this can result in the loss of some apex …

The diet of powerful owls (Ninox strenua) and prey availability in a continuum of habitats from disturbed urban fringe to protected forest environments in south-eastern …
This study investigates the diet of six breeding pairs of powerful owls in the Yarra Valley
Corridor in Victoria, Australia, and compares prey consumption with prey availability. The six …

[HTML][HTML] Joining the dots: How does an apex predator move through an urbanizing landscape?
Examining the movement of apex predators is difficult in urban environments due to private
land ownership; however, understanding their movement is critical given the current and …
