Data and analytical code associated with a modified Lotka-Volterra model, assessing population-level co-occurrence effects between barred (Strix varia) and northern spotted owls (Strix occidentalis caurina), in western Oregon (1990 – 2015)
September 24, 2025
This data release provides data from the 2016 Lesmeister et al. technical report and Mathematica and Python analytical code to model co-occurrence effects between barred (Strix varia) and northern spotted (Strix occidentalis caurina) owls. This data release, containing sample data set and code, is designed to facilitate reproducibility of analyses associated with the manuscript titled "Modeling competition co-occurrence effects between the invasive barred owl and imperiled northern spotted owl", published in Ecological Applications in 2025.

Robust estimation of wildlife populations represents a cornerstone of wildlife research and provides critical information to guide management, including identifying at-risk species, setting harvest rates, and evaluating predator and invasive species control programs. Efforts to enhance population estimation have long included influences one species may have on another, beginning with...
