Appendix 1 - Owl verebrate prey taxa in the souther Levant per site

These are the raw data of the vertebrare prey taxa and abundances (as minimum number of individuals) of owl species in Israel, The West Bank and Golan Heights, as inferred from their pellets and bone accumulations at nesting and roosting sites. Some sites were visited more than once and data were pooled. Most data are from the years 2013-2015, but some are from museum pellets and date to 1980's-2000's. Please contact the authors if you need detailed information regarding the dates of collection. Coordinates were removed in order to prevent harassment to the owls. "Prey with mass" relates to prey taxa for which we assigned mass from the literature for the predator-prey body size analysis in the article. This sheet contain all taxa in the genus or species level, while for the former mass data were averaged from measurements of local species. No mass was assigned to prey that were identified to the family level or higher

Predicted day versus night energy expenditure

hourly means of individuals’ (summer, n=5; winter, n=6) calculated energy expenditure during daytime and nighttime foraging in the UB and BB microhabitats. "chip" is the unique identifier for each individual and "met" is the predicted mean hourly energy expenditure [mW/g Mb]

Predicted day versus night evaporative water loss

hourly means of individuals’ (summer, n=5; winter, n=6) calculated evaporative water loss during daytime and nighttime foraging in the UB and BB microhabitats. "chip" is the unique identifier for each individual and "evp" is the predicted mean hourly evaporative water loss [mg H2O/sec×g Mb]

MNE, element completeness and marrow index for gazelle foot bones with small but varying amounts of bone marrow.

<p>Bones are considered complete if more than 90% of the bone is present. Marrow index values from Bar-Oz and Munro [<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0156964#pone.0156964.ref066" target="_blank">66</a>].</p
