Influence of researcher presence towards nest attendance and breeding of barn owls Tyto javanica javanica

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Human disturbance to nesting raptors can influence breeding success, especially during early breeding. This study examined the impact of researcher presence, a relatively low impact human disturbance, on eastern barn owls Tyto javanica javanica during monitoring of 57 nest‐boxes in oil palm plantations in Malaysia over a period of 30 months.
