Synopsis Local Weather, Regional Climate, and Population Dynamics of Northern Spotted Owls in Washington and Oregon by : Elizabeth M. Glenn
Since the early 1990s, declines in northern spotted owl (Strix occidentalis caurina) populations have been documented through extensive field surveys and range-wide demographic analyses. Although loss of late-successional forest has been credited as the primary cause for spotted owl population declines, environmental variation has also been shown to influence vital rates of many avian species, including spotted owls. Weather and climate are often the most important sources of environmental variation for many species, and population processes can be affected by both large-scale climate fluctuations as well as by local variation in weather. My objectives were to identify associations between weather and climate and demographic rates of northern spotted owls using data collected from marked spotted owls on 6 long-term study areas in Washington and Oregon. I used an information-theoretic approach to rank statistical models representing a priori hypotheses regarding effects of weather and climate on annual survival, reproduction, and realized rate of population change. Annual survival was negatively associated with drier-than-normal conditions on a regional scale at 3 areas, but was also associated with local weather conditions at 3 areas. Number of young fledged per pair per year was negatively associated with cold, wet nesting seasons at 3 areas, although larger-scale weather patterns were associated with reproduction as well. Climate accounted for moderate to high amounts of temporal variation for both survival and reproduction, but little of the spatial variation. My analyses of realized rates of population change indicated continued declines in populations at the 6 study areas, with climate accounting for 3-85% of the temporal variation in lambda. My results suggest that spotted owl populations may face additional challenges if climate in the Pacific Northwest follows the current predictions of year-round warming with warmer, wetter winters and hotter, drier summers in the 21st century.

Synopsis Population Demography of Northern Spotted Owls by : Eric Forsman
The Northern Spotted Owl, a threatened species that occurs in coniferous forests in the western United States, has become a well-known environmental symbol. But how is the owl actually faring? This book contains the results of a long-term effort by a large group of leading researchers to document population trends of the Northern Spotted Owl. The study was conducted on 11 areas in the Pacific Northwest from 1985 to 2008, and its objectives were both to evaluate population trends and to assess relationships between reproductive rates and recruitment of owls and covariates such as weather, habitat, and the invasion of a closely related species, the Barred Owl. Among other findings, the study shows that fecundity was declining in five populations, stable in three, and increasing in three areas. Annual apparent survival rates of adults were declining in 10 out of 11 areas. This broad, synthetic work provides the most complete and up-to-date picture of the population status of this inconspicuous forest owl, which is at the center of the complex and often volatile debate regarding the management of forest lands in the western United States.

Synopsis The Contribution of Federal and Non-Federal Habitat to Persistence of the Northern Spotted Owl on the Olympic Peninsula, Washington by : Richard S. Holthausen
Analyzes likely patterns of distribution & persistence of northern spotted owls on the Olympic Peninsula. Focuses on the effects of Federal habitat under provisions of the Northwest Forest Plan; additional benefits to the owl populations of different levels of habitat retention on non-Federal lands; effect of establishing a habitat connection between the Olympic Peninsula & other parts of the owl's range; the likely rate of habitat re-growth in the National Forest & its effect on the owl population; & the likely effect of a worst-case fire. A spatially explicit population model for northern spotted owls was used for the analysis. Reviews current information on demographics & likely owl population numbers on the Olympic Peninsula. Illustrations.
