The biogeography of diet diversity of barn owls on Mediterranean islands

2020-11-01

Abstract excerpt

AIM: Following the classical MacArthur‐Wilson island equilibrium model of species richness, we hypothesize that island size and isolation affect prey composition and diet diversity of predators on islands. We used the barn owl as a model predatory organism that is known for feeding and habitat flexibility and explored the patterns of its diet on Mediterranean islands in relation to the island biogeography and huma...
