Chapter 1. Introduction: The Birds in the Neotropical Region -- Chapter 2. A review of systematics and taxonomy of Neotropical owls (Strigiformes) -- Chapter 3. The Owls of Argentina -- Chapter 4. The Owls of Belize -- Chapter 5. The Owls of Bolivia -- Chapter 6. The Owls of Brazil -- Chapter 7. The Owl of Chile -- Chapter 8. The Owls of Costa Rica -- Chapter 9. The Owls of Colombia -- Chapter 10. The Owls of Ecuador -- Chapter 11. The Owls of El Salvador -- Chapter 12. The Owls of French Guiana -- Chapter 13. The Owls of Guatemala -- Chapter 14. The Owls of Hispaniola and Puerto Rico -- Chapter 15. The Owls of Mexico -- Chapter 16. The Owls of Nicaragua -- Chapter 17. The Owls of Panama -- Chapter 18. The Owls of Paraguay -- Chapter 19. The Owls of Suriname -- Chapter 20. The Owls of Uruguay.

This book presents a comprehensive biological and ecological information about owls in the neotropic area. In addition the book covers topics such as threats and conservation strategies for these nocturnal birds of prey from 18 Neotropical countries. Owls are a good example of diversification processes and have developed evolutionary characteristics themselves. These species are found almost everywhere in the world but most of them are distributed in tropical areas and about a third of them live in the Neotropics. This biogeographic region has a high biodiversity and even share lineages of species from other continents because at some point all were part of Pangea. Although we still have much to know and understand about this diverse, scarcely studied and threatened group this work aims to be a precedent for future and further research on the subject.
