Abstract: Remains of mammalian prey were extracted from pellets cast by Asio capensis (marsh owl) and Tyto alba (barn owl) at a number of sites in the Skeleton Coast Park and neighbouring Damaraland. Analysis of these remains provided information on micromammalian distribution and community struclure. Evidence for population structure of Gerbillurus paeba and G. cf setzeri was aIso forthcoming.
