Negative effects of artificial nest boxes on birds: A review
Avian Research, 2023 Artificial nest boxes are placed to attract birds to nest and breed in a specific location, and they are widely used in avian ecology research and in the attraction of insectivorous birds. There is evidence that artificial nest boxes can adversely affect

Mitigating Effects of Nest Structure on Predation Risk in Hainan Partridge (Arborophila ardens) [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionNest predation is the primary factor contributing to breeding failure, particularly in tropical regions. Enclosed nest structures can disrupt predator search efficiency and reduce predation risk.

Removal of old nest material decreases reuse of artificial burrows by burrowing owls
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2015 Artificial burrows are considered an important management and conservation tool for burrowing owls (Athene cunicularia). This species regularly adorns natural and artificial burrows with mammal dung and other materials, which remain between years so that

Mangrove Habitats in Zhanjiang of South China: A Potentially HighâRisk Environment for Breeding Birds [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionNest predation is one of the most important causes of breeding failure in birds, and the risk of predation is closely related to nest site selection. To maximize site suitability, birds should choose safe locations for nest site to reduce the risk of ...

Artificial nest predation rates vary depending on visibility in the eastern Brazilian Amazon [PDF]
Acta Amazonica, 2014 Observational and experimental studies have shown that increased concealment of bird nests reduces nest predation rates. The objective of the present study was to evaluate differences in predation rates between two experimental manipulations of ...
