A Rat-Resistant Artificial Nest Box for Cavity-Nesting Birds
Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2011 The puaiohi or small Kauai thrush (Myadestes palmeri) is an endangered bird endemic to the island of Kauai, Hawaii. The sole population of about 500 birds is currently restricted to remote, higher elevation areas of the Alakai Plateau. Puaiohi nest primarily on steep streamside cliffs, and their distribution and abundance are limited by availability of

Using Artificial Nests To Study Nest Predation IN BIRDS
The American Biology Teacher, 2005 A simple and effective field exercise that demonstrates factors affecting predation on bird nests is described. With instructor guidance, students in high school biology or college-level biology, ecology, animal behavior, wildlife management or ornithology laboratory courses can collaborate to design field experiments related to nest depredation.

A Device to Record the Specific Time an Artificial Nest is Depredated
Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017 We designed a timing device that records the calendar date and time of a depredation event on an artificial nest. The clock was simple to construct and successful in field trials, with only 6% failure (3 of 48 clocks).
