Mangrove Habitats in Zhanjiang of South China: A Potentially High‐Risk 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 ...

How Well Do Artificial Nests Estimate Success of Real Nests? [PDF]
The Condor, 1998 Artificial nests frequently are used to assess levels and patterns of nest predation, but how well these nests measure rates of predation or trends in predation rates at real nests is unclear. We compared predation rates between 58 active Wood Thrush (Hylocichla mustelina) nests paired with 58 artificial nests designed to resemble Wood Thrush nests ...

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

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Breeding success is an important factor determining fecundity with nest predation being the main factor limiting avian breeding success. Understanding of nest predation and its influencing factors are highly significant to explore the dynamics of bird ...

Using Artificial Nests to Test Importance of Nesting Material and Nest Shelter for Incubation Energetics [PDF]
The Auk, 2004 Abstract Incubation is an energetically demanding process for parents, in part because of the thermodynamic costs of maintaining egg temperature. One might predict that aspects of nest construction—in particular, the thermodynamic properties of the nesting material and the degree to which the nest provides shelter from the wind—would have important ...

Long Term Assessment of Predator Pressure on Artificial Nests of Common Pheasant (Phasianus colchicus) in Urban and Agricultural Areas of Lublin (Poland) [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionIn the study (2005–2023), the pressure of predators on breeding common pheasants (Phasianus colchicus) in urban (city of Lublin) and agricultural areas was compared using artificial nests.
