Home range and habitat use of little owl (athene noctua) in an agricultural landscape in coastal catalonia, Spain

In recent decades agricultural landscapes in Catalonia have undergone a profound transformation as in most of Europe. Reforestation and urban development have reduced farmland and therefore the availability of suitable habitat for some bird species such as the little owl (Athene noctua). The outskir...
