European Pond Turtle (Emys orbicularis) Nest Predation: A Study with Artificial Nests
Biology, 2023 Nest predation significantly impacts the population decline of the long-living European pond turtle (Emys orbicularis). Kis-Balaton is one of the most important habitats of this species in Hungary, and in May 2017 more than 400 damaged nests were counted.

Nesting Success and Nest Predators in Forest Fragments: A Study Using Real and Artificial Nests [PDF]
The Auk, 2000 Abstract Area sensitivity in songbirds is commonly attributed to increased nest predation in forest fragments. In 1995 and 1996, we tested whether the nest predators and nesting success of an area-sensitive forest bird, the Eastern Yellow Robin (Eopsaltria australis), varied with fragment size, and we also conducted an artificial nest ...

A role for nonapeptides and dopamine in nest-building behaviour [PDF]
, 2015 During nest building in zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata), several regions in the social behaviour network and the dopaminergic reward system, two neural circuits involved in social behaviour, appear to be active in male and female nest-building ...

Do artificial nests reveal relative nest predation risk for real nests?
Journal of Avian Biology, 2002 Present knowledge of the effects of nest predation on spatial distribution, habitat selection and community structure of birds is to a large extent based on results from experiments with artificial nests. Although nest predation risk is likely to differ between artificial and real nests, most previous studies of nest predation ...

Zoodiversity, 2020 Predation on breeding blue tit populations in north-eastern Algeria has been studied in nest boxes during a five years fieldwork (2003-2007) in cork oak forests. Nest boxes were placed each year in Brabtia plain forest in El Kala National Park.

Using Artificial Nests To Study Nest Predation IN BIRDS
The American Biology Teacher, 2005 A simple and effective field exercise that demonstrates factors affecting predation on bird nests is described. With instructor guidance, students in high school biology or college-level biology, ecology, animal behavior, wildlife management or ornithology laboratory courses can collaborate to design field experiments related to nest depredation.

Evaluating the efficacy of carbachol at reducing corvid predation on artificial nests
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2018 Nest predation often limits recovery of threatened and endangered birds, especially ground‐nesting species. Accordingly, a variety of techniques are used to reduce the impact of nest predation on listed species.

The Pattern of Behaviour of Rabbit Pups in the Nest. [PDF]
, 1982 Domestic rabbit pups (22 litters of 6 pups each) were raised in plexiglass nest boxes, and their behaviour was studied under various experimental conditions during the first 14 days of life. 1.
