Spatial, Temporal, and Density-Dependent Components of Habitat Quality for a Desert Owl
Fig 8
Interactive effects of important factors associated with different environmental components of habitat quality on reproductive output of ferruginous pygmy-owls in northwest Mexico, 2001–2010.
The hypothetical weather gradient in the top figure was standardized based on annual precipitation and mean maximum temperature during the brooding season so as to represent conditions that ranged from wet and cool to hot and dry. Estimates are based on the top-ranked models that included these interactions in Table 6.
