The aim of the present data set is to provide all information of the records of small mammals and other prey from barn owl pellets identified by Libois (1984) and other authors cited (Asselberg 1971, Cornet et al. 1980, De Laender 1980, Delmée et al. 1979, De Piere 1972, Fobert et al. 1972, Hubeau 1981, Laukens 1968, Parmentier & Claus 1976, Van Beirs 1971, Van Winkel 1966, Van Winkel 1975, Van Winkel et al. 1967).Sampling Description

The data describes 103.431 prey items from 203 localities, mainly in Belgium, but also in French Ardennes.Quality Control
Most taxonomic identification are the work of Roland LIBOIS (University of Liège), or are published by other authors (Asselberg 1971, Cornet et al. 1980, De Laender 1980, Delmée et al. 1979, De Piere 1972, Fobert et al. 1972, Hubeau 1981, Laukens 1968, Parmentier & Claus 1976, Van Beirs 1971, Van Winkel 1966, Van Winkel 1975, Van Winkel et al. 1967). Georeferencing has been validated using a double-check of CGRS/UTM squares.Method steps
