Abstract

The world’s 287 species of raptorial birds- -members of the families Accipitridae, Falconidae, Pandionidae, Cathartidae, Tytonidae, and Strigidae-share many basic morphologic and trophic similarities, yet they also show interesting individual differences that importantly affect the dynamics of their populations. Although the predatory life style constrains their basic life-history strategies, differences in body size, prey, and habitats impose important sources of variation. Study of the population ecology of raptors has been pursued because these birds are particularly appropriate for elucidating certain basic population phenomena and because raptor populations have frequently been managed for conservation purposes.
