Staying sheltered: geographical variation in nestbox use by a nocturnal raptor outside the breeding season

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Tree cavities and nestboxes are crucial resources for cavity‐nesting birds. While cavities are essential for reproduction, their importance outside the breeding season remains poorly understood, with most existing evidence focusing on nestbox use by small birds to reduce heat loss during winter.
