Widespread in North American forest regions including the Rocky Mountains, the Boreal Owl (Aegolius funereus) was once the most numerous predatory bird in Eurasian boreal forests. Synthesising the results of unique long-term studies of Boreal Owls, this book explores hunting modes, habitats and foods, prey interactions, mating and parental care, reproduction, dispersal, survival and mortality, population regulation and conservation in boreal forests. Providing a detailed introduction to the species, the authors study the complex interactions of Boreal Owls with their prey species. They examine the inter-sexual tug-of-war over parental care, and the behavioural and demographic adaptations to environmental conditions that ... Read more

About Erkki Korpimäki
Erkki Korpimäki is Professor of Animal Ecology at the Department of Biology, University of Turku, Finland. His long-term research questions have focused on how predators are adapted to the large spatio-temporal fluctuations in their main prey densities, the apparent impacts of predators on prey populations and the effects of human-induced changes in the environment on viability of populations.

Reviews for The Boreal Owl: Ecology, Behaviour and Conservation of a Forest-Dwelling Predator
'Behavioral and population ecologists will find much value in this highly accessible book. Recommended.' R. L. Smith, Choice 'Most texts on owls are descriptive, and so this one is unusual in having so much scientific research on a single species … the content is interesting … deserves to be found in libraries.' Professor Jim Lynch OBE FSB, The Biologist 'One ... Read more
