Mitigating Fox Predation on Freshwater Turtle Nests: Comparing Effectiveness of Three In Situ Protection Methods

Ecology and Evolution
Freshwater 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.

Variation in common blackbird (Turdus merula) nest characteristics in urban and suburban localities in Crimea

Zoodiversity, 2020
Blackbird Turdus merula is a model species for studying the impact of environmental factors on the form and structure of nests. In the middle of XX, this species began to expand its range into the artificial forests of the Ukrainian steppe zone.

ARTIFICIAL NEST-SITES FOR SCALY-SIDED MERGANSER MERGUS SQUAMATUS (GOULD, 1864) – A WAY TO BREEDING HABITAT RESTORATION

Амурский зоологический журнал, 2013
Habitat degradation due to deforestation of riverine forest could be compensated with artificial nest-sites for cavity-nesting ducks. Occupation of artificial sites by Scaly-sided Merganser differed significantly between logged and un-logged river banks.

Hydrophobic MFI‐Type Zeolites via Alkali‐Cation‐Induced Defect Healing: Implications for Adsorbent and Catalyst Design

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Sub‐stoichiometric amounts of Na+ or K+ enhance defect healing during Silicalite‐1 (MFI) and TS‐1 calcination by promoting Si–O–Si annealing and healing framework vacancies. The resulting defect‐free zeolites are more hydrophobic and show improved butanol/water separation and improved activity and selectivity in the epoxidation of 1‐hexene, offering a ...

Effect of Feathers as Nest Insulation on Incubation Behavior and Reproductive Performance of Tree Swallows (\u3cem\u3eTachycineta bicolor\u3c/em\u3e) [PDF]

, 1995
Many species of birds line their nests with feathers, presumably because of the insulative qualities of feathers and because feathers may act as a barrier between nest parasites and nestlings.
