European Pond Turtle (Emys orbicularis) Nest Predation: A Study with Artificial Nests. [PDF]
Biology (Basel), 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.

Landscape structure and site characteristics influence whether the northern house martin <i>Delichon urbicum</i> occupies artificial nests. [PDF]
Ecol EvolArtificial nest sites can support populations of endangered species when they are correctly installed. Here we analysed the characteristics and conditions that determined whether the northern house martin Delichon urbicum occupied more than 300 ...

Quantifying the relative predation pressure on bumblebee nests by the European badger (Meles meles) using artificial nests. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2020 Bumblebee populations are declining. Factors that impact the size and success of colonies act by either limiting resource availability (bottom‐up regulation) or causing mortality, for example, pesticides, disease, and possibly predation (top‐down ...

Birds Decorating Their Nests With Plastic May Suffer Less Egg Depredation by Corvids. [PDF]
Ecol EvolMany birds add anthropogenic material to the nest. This may increase the probability of total failure because the nest may be more easily located by enemies.

Predation on artificial nests by marmosets of the genus Callithrix (Primates, Platyrrhini) in a Cerrado fragment in Southeastern Brazil [PDF]
Biotemas, 2013 Although the causes of decline in bird populations in forest fragments are not well known, nest predation seems to play a major role in these events. A way to estimate the relative importance of predation for the reproduction of native birds is the use ...

Is it safe to nest near conspicuous neighbours? Spatial patterns in predation risk associated with the density of American Golden-Plover nests [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 Predation is one of the main factors explaining nesting mortality in most bird species. Birds can avoid nest predation or reduce predation pressure by breeding at higher latitude, showing anti-predator behaviour, selecting nest sites protected from ...
