Un gufo di pesce buffy (Ketupa ketupu), generalmente noto come una specie notturna, è visto alla luce del giorno in modo Kambas Parco Nazionale, Labuhan Ratu, East Lampung, Lampung, Indonesia. Gufi hanno evoluto parecchie caratteristiche che li lasciano bene adatti nella prede di caccia nel buio, rendendoli come gli unici uccelli con uno stile di vita notturno e predatorio, secondo Casey McGrath in un articolo pubblicato in genoma Biology and Evolution volume 12, ottobre 2020.

A buffy fish owl (Ketupa ketupu), generally known as a nocturnal species, is seen in daylight in Way Kambas National Park, Labuhan Ratu, East Lampung, Lampung, Indonesia. Owls have evolved several features that leave them well suited in hunting prey in the dark, making them as the only birds with a nocturnal, predatory lifestyle, according to Casey McGrath in a paper published in Genome Biology and Evolution volume 12, October 2020. However, another report on different owl species has revealed that human-made impacts on environment—such as light and noise pollutions—might have minimized the survival chance of owls. "These creatures have all evolved senses that allow them to thrive in the dark. But the dark is dissapearing, " wrote Ed Yong in a feature article published on The Atlantic July/August 2022 issue. Meanwhile, "In noisy conditions, owls (can) flub their attacks, " he wrote, adding that adaptation is not always possible. "Species that mature and breed slowly can't evolve quickly enough to keep pace with levels of lights and noise pollution that double every few decades, " he wrote. Another report in June 17, 2022—an interview with Jonathan Slaght, a researcher of blakiston's fish owl and author of Owls of the Eartern Ice, which was published by Association of Field Ornithologists (AFO), has offered a view on the right approaches for wildlife conservation. "We're not interested in doing things just for the sake of doing things, but we are starting to realize that to better understand how the species uses the landscape and how to better manage that landscape, " said Slaght. "I think a big part of conservation is public awareness. The more people that care about the birds I think they are less likely to go extinct and be in trouble, " he added.
