Smart Nest Box: IoT Based Nest Monitoring In Artificial Cavities

2020 3rd International Conference on Advanced Communication Technologies and Networking (CommNet), 2020
With climate change, habitat loss, and impoverishment of food sources, several species of bird are are threatened today. It is crucial to conserve the biodiversity in ecosystems but the conservation that requires an improved knowledge of these. In this paper, we propose a low-cost connected nest box that make photos of nestling and measures them weight

Suitability of Artificial Nests—Response

Science, 2010
Faaborg presents a valid concern that artificial nests should not be used to infer real nest success. For our study, we chose artificial nests to provide a controlled measure of relative predation risk across latitudes, not to infer real nest success.

Effects of Nest-Site Selection on Depredation of Artificial Nests

The Journal of Wildlife Management, 1989
We compared depredation of artificial arboreal nests between nests placed at nest sites used by birds in the previous season (actual nests) and those located at random nest sites (random nests) on a ruffed grouse (Bonasa umbellus) management area in central Pennsylvania from May to July 1987.

How Well Do Artificial Nests Estimate Success of Real Nests?

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 ...

Suitability of Artificial Nests

Science, 2010
The Report “Lower predation risk for migratory birds at high latitudes” by L. McKinnon et al. (15 January, p. [326][1]) describes a massive artificial nest experiment spanning 29 degrees of latitude in the high Arctic.

Validity of Using Artificial Nests to Assess Duck-Nest Success

The Journal of Wildlife Management, 1998
Artificial nests have been used in numerous studies of nest success because they can provide adequate sample sizes and be placed in accordance with experimental designs. However, the critical assumption that a strong linear relation exists between success of artificial and natural nests has rarely been tested.

Artificial Nests Identify Possible Nest Predators of Eastern Wild Turkeys

Southeastern Naturalist, 2014
Abstract Poor nest survival is a critical limiting factor in the recruitment of wild birds. Nest predation is often cited as one of the main causes of nest failure, especially for ground-nesting species. We monitored artificial Meleagris gallopavo silvestris (Eastern Wild Turkey) nests, using time-lapse and motion-sensitive trail cameras to determine ...

What do artificial nests tells us about nest predation?

Biological Conservation, 2002
Artificial nests are commonly used to evaluate predation, but the assumption that this method mimics predation on natural nests has seldom been tested. Natural and artificial nests of eastern yellow robins (Eopsaltria australis) were monitored in four, 55-ha plots over two breeding seasons.

Predation on artificial bird nests in chaparral fragments

Oecologia, 1991
The predation rate of artificial bird nests was measured in disturbed chaparral habitat fragments and at an unfragmented site in coastal San Diego County, California USA. Local extinctions of chaparral birds has been previously shown to occur in these fragments. The predation rate was highest at the unfragmented site.
