Does Seasonal Variation in Agility of Avian Prey Influence Body Size of Breeding Male Cooper's Hawks? And Comments on the Putative Influence of Avivory on Reproductive Output in Cities

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
Our findings regarding prey of breeding Cooper's Hawks in British Columbia and Wisconsin expand knowledge of their food habits and support the premise that seasonal agility of prey influences body size of nesting males. We deem it untenable to assume greater production of young at urban vs. rural nests based on proportion of avian prey use.
