Do predation rates on artificial nests accurately reflect predation rates on natural bird nests?
, 1999 Artificial nests are widely used in m4an field studies. However, it is unclear how well predation rates on artificial nests reflect predation rates on natural nests.

Livestock grazing and trampling of birds’ nests: an experiment using artificial nests [PDF]
, 2013 The purpose of this study is to experimentally determine the differences between four grazing treatments on the trampling of nests. Additionally, we examine to what extent the trampling probability of nests is higher close to a source of fresh water.

Zoodiversity, 2020 Predation on breeding blue tit populations in north-eastern Algeria has been studied in nest boxes during a five years fieldwork (2003-2007) in cork oak forests. Nest boxes were placed each year in Brabtia plain forest in El Kala National Park.

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 ...

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 ...

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.
