molecular phylogeny of south american screech owls of the otus atricapillus complex (aves: strigidae) inferred from nucleotide sequences of the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene.	the cytochrome b gene of 6 south american screech owls of the genus otus (o. choliba, o. atricapillus, o. usta, o. sanctaecatarinae, o. guatemalae, and o. hoyi) and two old world species (otus scops and otus leucotis) was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (pcr) and partially sequenced (300 nucleotides). otus atricapillus, o. guatemalae, o. hoyi and o. sanctaecatarinae which are morphologically very similar, have been treated as belonging to a single species. a. atricapillus (sibley and monr ...	1995	7766262
habitat selection by owls in a seasonal semi-deciduous forest in southern brazil.	this paper tested the hypothesis that the structural components of vegetation have impact over the distribution of owl species in a fragment of a semi-deciduous seasonal forest. this paper also determined which vegetation variables contributed to the spatial distribution of owl species. it was developed in the perobas biological reserve (pbr) between september and december 2011. to conduct the owl census, a playback technique was applied at hearing points distributed to cover different vegetatio ...	2015	26602354
