Resumen
Se analizó la dieta de Athene cunicularia y Tyto alba en un área de ecotono entre elMonte y el Espinal en la provincia de La Pampa, Argentina. Se identificaron 747 presas de Athenecunicularia y 563 de Tyto alba, pertenecientes a las clases Mammalia, Reptilia, Amphibia, Aves,Insecta y Arachnida. Los insectos dominaron la dieta de Athene cunicularia tanto en verano comoen otoño-invierno, pero el mayor aporte de biomasa fue dado por el consumo de juveniles deCtenomys sp. Tyto alba consumió principalmente Calomys sp. en verano y en otoño-invierno, peroel mayor aporte de biomasa correspondió a Akodon molinae. La amplitud de nicho trófico fuemayor para Athene cunicularia que para Tyto alba en verano, mientras que en otoño-invierno seregistraron valores similares para ambas especies. No se encontró superposición de nicho tróficoentre Athene cunicularia y Tyto alba, sugiriendo que no estarían compitiendo por los recursos alimenticios
We studied the diet of Athene cunicularia and Tyto alba in an ecotonal area between Monte and Espinal in La Pampa Province, Argentina. We identified 747 prey items for Athene cunicularia and 563 for Tyto alba, corresponding to classes Mammalia, Reptilia, Amphibia, Aves, Insecta and Arachnida. Insects represented the majority of the prey items of Athene cunicularia both in summer and autumn-winter, but the greatest biomass contribution was given by the consumption of juvenal Ctenomys sp. Tyto alba mostly consumed Calomys sp. in summer and autumn-winter, but Akodon molinae contributed greater biomass. Trophic niche breadth was higher for Athene cunicularia than for Tyto alba in summer, whereas in autumn-winter values were similar for the two species. There was no overlap in the trophic niche between Athene cunicularia and Tyto alba, which suggests that they do not compete for food resources.
