Do artificial nests simulate nest success of greater sage-grouse? [PDF]
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 ...

A Rat-Resistant Artificial Nest Box for Cavity-Nesting Birds
Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017 The puaiohi or small Kauai thrush (Myadestes palmeri) is an endangered bird endemic to the island of Kauai, Hawaii. The sole population of about 500 birds is currently restricted to remote, higher elevation areas of the Alakai Plateau.

Eggs in the freezer: energetic consequences of nest site and nest design in Arctic breeding shorebirds [PDF]
, 2012 Birds construct nests for several reasons. For species that breed in the Arctic, the insulative properties of nests are very important. Incubation is costly there and due to an increasing surface to volume ratio, more so in smaller species. Small species

Smart Nest Box: IoT Based Nest Monitoring In Artificial Cavities
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

Artificial nesting success and nest building behavior of common myna, Acridotheres tristis using paper/plastic [PDF]
Caspian Journal of Environmental Sciences, 2022 The objective of this paper is to analyze the nesting success and nest building behavior of myna, Acridotheres tristis, using paper/plastic Myna in artificial nest. The boxes were placed at different sites, including University Town, Rahat Abad and Qadir

Carcasses attract invasive species and increase artificial nest predation in a desert environment
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2021 In addition to feeding on animal remains, many scavengers also function as predators. Carcasses may therefore affect local animal communities by attracting facultative scavengers and increasing predation risk for other species in the vicinity of the ...

Artificial covering on trap nests improves the colonization of trap‐nesting wasps [PDF]
Journal of Applied Entomology, 2008 AbstractTo evaluate the role that a trap‐nest cover might have on sampling methodologies, the abundance of each species of trap‐nesting Hymenoptera and the parasitism rate in a Canadian forest were compared between artificially covered and uncovered traps.

Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Artificial devices are increasingly used in conservation measures to mitigate the disappearance of natural habitats. However, few studies have demonstrated their benefits for the target species, and they may pose a risk of creating ecological traps. This
