DOI: 10.1007/s10344-021-01515-0
Abstract: Damage associated with rodent’s outbreaks is common in the actual intensive agriculture. In order to reduce these economic losses, the placement of nest boxes for raptors could be a useful alternative to the chemical control… read more here.

The sounds of silence: Barn owl noise in landing and taking off
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Behavioural Processes"
DOI: 10.1016/j.beproc.2018.06.011
Abstract: A barn owl swooping down generated a quieter, almost silent, noise (acoustic impulses) compared to a louder noise generated by the owl when taking off. These acoustic impulses are at low frequencies which are below… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.heares.2019.107835
Abstract: Spontaneous otoacoustic emissions (SOAEs) have been observed in a variety of different vertebrates, including humans and barn owls (Tyto alba). The underlying mechanisms producing the SOAEs and the meaning of their characteristics regarding the frequency… read more here.

DOI: 10.7554/elife.84760
Abstract: Sensory systems preferentially strengthen responses to stimuli based on their reliability at conveying accurate information. While previous reports demonstrate that the brain reweighs cues based on dynamic changes in reliability, how the brain may learn… read more here.
