A population viability analysis on the declining population of Little Owl (Athene noctua) in Denmark using the stochastic simulation program VORTEX

When a bird population is facing extinction, ecologically artificial conservation actions such as feeding and captive breeding may be considered as temporary efforts to rescue the population remains until environmental conditions for a self-sustaining population have been restored. Population viability analysis can be used to evaluate different management options for endangered bird populations. Here we use the program VORTEX to explore...
