dc.description.abstractHabitat-specialists have narrower niches, but achieve higher or similar peak performance (e.g. occurrence probability, psi) than habitat-generalists along resource gradients that may be selected from the stand- to landscape-levels. Understanding the relationship between niche width and psi of forest owls will facilitate the development of appropriate management recommendations for their conservation. We assessed psi of the threatened habitat-specialist rufous-legged owls (Strix rufipes) and habitat-generalist austral pygmy-owls (Glaucidium nana) across three spatial scales, and tested whether they differed in resource utilization and peak psi in temperate forests of southern Chile. We conducted 1145 broadcast surveys at 101 sites and used multi-season occupancy models, accounting for imperfect detection, to estimate psi. For S. rufipes, psi ranged between 0.05 and 1 across sites, and was positively associated with the variability (standard deviation, SD) in diameter at breast height (DBH) of trees and bamboo understory density. For G. nana, psi ranged between 0.67 and 0.98, and was positively associated with forest-patch shape index (irregularity and edge effects) and forest cover at 180 ha, although the parameter estimates were imprecise. Relative to G. nana, S. rufipes had lower total resource utilization due to lower psi over gradients of all covariates, but achieved similar peak psi for resources related with stand-level forest complexity and forest stability at the landscape scale. Occurrence of habitat-specialist owls will be promoted if multi-aged stands with a variety of tree sizes (SD of DBH = 19.9 +/- 9 cm), including large old-growth trees, with relatively high bamboo cover (34.2 +/- 26.6%), are retained. Landscapes with forest cover >63.5% would also favor occurrence by habitat-specialist owls. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
