Data from: Divergent responses of native predators to severe wildfire and biological invasion are mediated by life history

This dataset supports an analysis of the relative and combined effects of
severe wildfires and an early-stage barred owl (Strix varia) invasion on
three native forest owl species in the Sierra Nevada, California, USA.
Data were collected between 2018 and 2023 using a regional passive
acoustic monitoring program, complemented by manipulative (lethal barred
owl removals) and natural (severe wildfire) experiments. The dataset
includes species-specific detection histories for flammulated owls
(Psiloscops flammeolus), great horned owls (Bubo virginianus), and
northern pygmy owls (Glaucidium californicum), as well as site-level
covariates describing fire severity, barred owl removal treatment,
topographic conditions, and survey effort. Derived variables include
wildfire severity classifications and pre- and post-removal monitoring
periods. The data can be reused to run Bayesian single-species
"stacked" single-season occupancy models. All sensitive location
information of forest owls has been omitted.
