Trap-Nest Design for Small Trap-nesting Hymenoptera [PDF]
, 2017 (excerpt) Many solitary bees and wasps construct brood cells in pre-existing natural cavities such as beetle borings or in excavations of pithy stems and twigs like Sambucus and Juglans.

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 ...

Nest predation in an urbanizing landscape: the role of exotic shrubs [PDF]
, 2004 Nest predation is considered a primary force shaping avian communities, and landscape-scale features (e.g., amount of fragmentation) are generally recognized as factors mediating nest predation.

Artificial covering on trap nests improves the colonization of trap‐nesting wasps [PDF]
Journal of Applied Entomology, 2008 AbstractTo evaluate the role that a trap‐nest cover might have on sampling methodologies, the abundance of each species of trap‐nesting Hymenoptera and the parasitism rate in a Canadian forest were compared between artificially covered and uncovered traps.

Nest predation in Afrotropical forest fragments shaped by inverse edge effects, timing of nest initiation and vegetation structure [PDF]
, 2014 High levels of nest predation influence the population dynamics of many tropical birds, especially when deforestation alters nest predator communities. The consequences of tropical forest fragmentation on nest predation, however, remain poorly understood,

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,

Seasonal Response of Workers of the Allegheny Mound Ant, \u3ci\u3eFormica Exsectoides\u3c/i\u3e (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) to Artificial Honeydews of Varying Nutritional Content [PDF]
, 2018 Field colonies of Allegheny mound ants, Formica exsectoides, were tested at monthly intervals throughout the summer to assess their preference for artificial honeydews containing varying compositions of sugars and amino acids.

Antropogenic materials in the nests of Passerine birds in the west of Ukraine
Біологічні студії, 2023 Background. Traditionally birds build their nests out of natural materials that are usually found near the location of the future nest. However, along with the expansion of human economic activity and the appearance of various types of antropogenic mate ...
