Using indicator species to detect high quality habitats in an East African forest biodiversity hotspot
Species demanding specific habitat requirements suffer, particularly under environmental changes. The smallest owl of Africa, the Sokoke Scops Owl ( Otus ireneae ), occurs exclusively in East African coastal forests. To understand the movement behaviour and habitat demands of O. ireneae , we combine...

| description | Species demanding specific habitat requirements suffer, particularly under environmental changes. The smallest owl of Africa, the Sokoke Scops Owl (
Otus ireneae
), occurs exclusively in East African coastal forests. To understand the movement behaviour and habitat demands of
O. ireneae
, we combined data from radio-tracking and remote sensing to calculate Species Distribution Models across the Arabuko Sokoke forest in southern Kenya. Based on these data, we estimated the local population size and projected the distribution of current suitable habitats. We found that the species occurs only in
Cynometra
woodland with large old trees and dense vegetation. Based on home range sizes and the distribution of suitable forest habitats, the local population size was estimated at |
