Smart Nest Box: IoT Based Nest Monitoring In Artificial Cavities [PDF]
2020 3rd International Conference on Advanced Communication Technologies and Networking (CommNet), 2020 With climate change, habitat loss, and impoverishment of food sources, several species of bird are are threatened today. It is crucial to conserve the biodiversity in ecosystems but the conservation that requires an improved knowledge of these. In this paper, we propose a low-cost connected nest box that make photos of nestling and measures them weight

Do artificial nests simulate nest success of greater sage-grouse?
Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017 Artificial nests have been used to study factors affecting nest success because researchers can manipulate them more than natural bird nests. Many researchers have questioned the validity of generalizing the results from artificial nests onto naturally ...

Mitigating Fox Predation on Freshwater Turtle Nests: Comparing Effectiveness of Three In Situ Protection Methods [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionFreshwater turtles in the Murray‐Darling Basin (MDB), Australia, have declined since the 1970s. Intense nest predation by introduced foxes likely contributes to these declines, disrupting juvenile recruitment needed to sustain populations.
