Identifying key habitat, responses to environmental change, and determinants of fitness are primary goals in ecology. I investigated mechanisms underlying variation in resource selection, movement behavior, and reproductive performance of Great Gray Owls in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem in Wyoming and Idaho, USA. In Chapter 1, I quantified resource selection of adult owls (n = 42) and observed different patterns of selection depending on spatiotemporal scale, including between the breeding versus winter seasons. In Chapter 2, I evaluated whether breeding-season resource selection by adult male owls (n = 19) varied across diurnal periods, to improve understanding of foraging and nocturnal habitat. Owls avoided herbaceous wetlands during daytime but strongly selected them at dawn, dusk, and night. They also chose nighttime microhabitat that enabled foraging, such as presence of primary prey and open understories. In Chapter 3, I evaluated whether snow conditions influenced proximate habitat choices and/or migratory movements by Great Gray Owls. Owls proximately avoided deeper snow and more severe wind crusts, whereas probability of migration increased with more severe and persistent ice crusts. Owls appeared to be behaviorally plastic, adopting different strategies depending on the spatial scale and duration of limiting conditions. In Chapter 4, I investigated whether breeding-season prey abundance or prior winter snow conditions influenced reproductive output. Snow conditions during the preceding winter carried over to determine subsequent breeding. Such detailed assessments of factors across scales and contexts contribute to a more thorough understanding of resource requirements, susceptibility to environmental change, and population dynamics.
