Visual and Olfactory Attributes of Artificial Nests [PDF]
The Auk, 2000 Abstract Artificial nests are commonly used to investigate relative rates of nest predation in birds, but several methodological considerations need to be addressed before results from natural and artificial nests can be compared. Using field and laboratory experiments, we examined responses of predators to visual and olfactory cues that

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).

The new faces of nest predation in agricultural landscapes—a wildlife camera survey with artificial nests [PDF]
European Journal of Wildlife Research, 2018 European populations of many ground-nesting farmland birds have declined in recent decades. Increases in predator populations and nest predation may play an important role in this decline, along with habitat loss. However, the role of various predators has often remained unclear. We conducted a study with artificial nests and wildlife cameras (n = 104)

Mourning Dove Nesting Success in Artificial and Natural Nests in Central Minnesota [PDF]
, 1976 Mourning dove (Zenaidura macroura) nesting success in artificial and natural nests was investigated in 1974 on seven study areas in central Minnesota. Nesting success in artificial nests was significantly greater (P\u3c0.05) than that in natural nests ...
