EFFECTS OF SUPPLEMENTAL DEER FEEDERS ON SURVIVAL OF ARTIFICIAL GROUND NESTS IN SOUTHEASTERN ARKANSAS
: Supplemental feeding of white‐tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus; hereafter, deer) is a popular management tool to alleviate real or perceived nutrient deficiencies and to influence temporal and spatial dynamics of deer distribution during hunting ...

Turtles are killed on roads, yet there is little evidence of negative road effects on their abundances. We hypothesized that this could be due to reduced predation of turtle nests laid along roadsides, which could compensate for the effects of higher ...

Hermetism between Camponotus morosus Smith and Linepithema humile Mayr (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)
Hermetism, a behavior that isolates ant colonies, was studied in the laboratory between two ant species in Chile, Camponotus morosus Smith and Linepithema humile Mayr. Ants from five nests of C. morosus and L.

Predation Rates on Real and Artificial Nests of Grassland Birds [PDF]
We estimated nesting success at real and artificial nests of grassland birds to test the influence of nest type, nest position, and egg size on predation rates. We distributed wicker nests and realistic woven-grass nests baited with a clay egg and either

Examining Patterns in Nest Predation using Artificial Nests [PDF]
The use of artificial nests to study the predation of avian nests has faced disregard by ecologists due to inconsistencies found between the survival rates of real and artificial nests across studies and reviews.

Do Repugnant Scents Increase Survival of Ground Nests? A Test with Artificial and Natural Duck Nests [PDF]
Ground-nesting birds typically experience high predation rates on their nests, often by mammalian predators. As such, researchers and wildlife managers have employed numerous techniques to mitigate nest predation.

Archive eggs: A research and management tool for avian conservation breeding
Worldwide, approximately 168 bird species are captive‐bred for reintroduction into the wild. Programs tend to be initiated for species with a high level of endangerment. Depressed hatching success can be a problem for such programs and has been linked to

Most species of ants inhabiting the temperate zone overwinter underground, whereas those of the genus Temnothorax remain in nests aboveground. I studied the cost of aboveground overwintering. Workers of Temnothorax crassispinus survived in higher numbers
