Arboreal twig-nesting ants form dominance hierarchies over nesting resources. [PDF]
, 2019 Interspecific dominance hierarchies have been widely reported across animal systems. High-ranking species are expected to monopolize more resources than low-ranking species via resource monopolization. In some ant species, dominance hierarchies have been

Effects of Nest Location on Depredation of Artificial Arboreal Nests
The Journal of Wildlife Management, 1987 Depredation on artificial arboreal nests was studied in 1-ha aspen (Populus spp.) plots on a ruffed grouse (Bonasa umbellus) management area in central Pennsylvania from May to August 1985. Predation was evaluated with respect to 2 factors associated with nest placement: height of nest aboveground and plot age.

Ground Nesting in Recultivated Forest Habitats — A Study with Artificial Nests [PDF]
Acta Ornithologica, 2004 The study was carried out in the outskirts of the town of Pecs (southern Hungary) in a recultivated for- mer coal mine. Bordered by Turkey Oak forests, this open area forms a wedge-shaped clearing in that woodland. Since trees and taller shrubs are rare in the area, it is mainly ground nesting bird species that occur in the clearing.

Are white storks addicted to junk food? Impacts of landfill use on the movement and behaviour of resident white storks (Ciconia ciconia) from a partially migratory population [PDF]
, 2016 Background: The migratory patterns of animals are changing in response to global environmental change with many species forming resident populations in areas where they were once migratory. The white stork (Ciconia ciconia) was wholly migratory in Europe

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2020 Nest predation is a major limiting factor of bird reproductive success, and predation by snakes may have particularly adverse effects on passerines. The reed parrotbill (Paradoxornis heudei) is a threatened passerine that inhabits reedbeds in East China,

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Objective This study aims to develop hip morphology‐based radiographic hip osteoarthritis (RHOA) risk prediction models and investigates the added predictive value of hip morphology measurements and the generalizability to different populations. Methods We combined data from nine prospective cohort studies participating in the Worldwide Collaboration ...
