Compounding effects on nest-site dispersal of Barn Owls Tyto alba

Capsule Recovery distances of Barn Owls ringed as pulli are conditional on ringing date but not on population density. Aims To test whether ring recovery distances (proxy for natal dispersal distances) were conditional on population density and reproductive timing. Methods We used ringing data of pulli ringed in Denmark (1921–2009; n = 590) and glmms to test density, recovery time, ringing date and brood size for their influence on dispersal...
