Citation BirdLife International 2016. Otus spilocephalus. The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species 2016: e.T22688579A93201511. http://dx.doi.org/10.2305/IUCN.UK.2016-3.RLTS.T22688579A93201511.en. Downloaded on 22 November 2019. Description JUSTIFICATION This species has an extremely large range, and hence does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the range size criterion (Extent of Occurrence <20,000 km2 combined with a declining or fluctuating range size, habitat extent/quality, or population size and a small number of locations or severe fragmentation). The population trend appears to be stable, and hence the species does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population trend criterion (>30% decline over ten years or three generations). The population size has not been quantified, but it is not believed to approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population size criterion (<10,000 mature individuals with a continuing decline estimated to be >10% in ten years or three generations, or with a specified population structure). For these reasons the species is evaluated as Least Concern. DESCRIPTION The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is described as common in places (Konig et al. 1999), while national population sizes have been estimated at c.10,000-100,000 breeding pairs in China and c.10,000-100,000 breeding pairs in Taiwan (Brazil 2009). Trend Justification: The population is suspected to be stable in the absence of evidence for any declines or substantial threats.
