Factors driving territory size and breeding success in a threatened migratory songbird, the Canada Warbler

open access: yesAvian Conservation and Ecology, 2016
Successful conservation of migratory birds demands we understand how habitat factors on the breeding grounds influences breeding success. Multiple factors are known to directly influence breeding success in territorial songbirds.

Sources of variation in estimating breeding success of migratory birds from autumn counts

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, 2023
Understanding drivers of change in population sizes requires estimation of demographic rates such as survival and productivity. In migratory geese, productivity or breeding success is typically assessed at the autumn staging and wintering grounds by ...

Success Breeds Success Locally: A Tale of Incubator Firms [PDF]

open access: yesSSRN Electronic Journal, 2008
This paper focuses on the pre-establishment period of start-ups in industrial districts. The industrial architecture is what I call a "rationed agglomeration" in which some entrepreneurs gather around an established firm while other entrepreneurs in the same business stand alone.

Breeding site attendance and breeding success in Phyllomedusa trinitatis (Anura: Phyllomedusidae)

open access: yesPhyllomedusa: Journal of Herpetology, 2021
Using a natural marker, we documented breeding site attendance patterns by males and females of the Trinidad Leaf Frog, Phyllomedusa trinitatis. We followed attendance at a cluster of three isolated ponds over 53 and 56 consecutive nights in 2016 and ...

Nest Design and Breeding Success: Replicability of Methodologies and Research Findings in Secondary Hole Nesting Passerines

open access: yesBirds
More than 40 hypotheses predict associations between features of nest architecture and at least one measure of reproductive success. However, quantitative studies of reproductive consequences of nest characteristics remain scarce.

The Importance of Nest Box Placement for Barn Owls (Tyto alba)

open access: yesAnimals, 2022
Nest boxes have been used for years to increase breeding bird numbers for conservation and also in biological pest control projects. Barn owls (Tyto alba) have been used as biological pest control agents for rodents for years, and since nest boxes are ...

Effects of breeding success, age and sex on breeding dispersal of a reintroduced population of the Crested Ibis (Nipponia nippon) in Ningshan County, China

open access: yesAvian Research, 2018
Background Breeding dispersal is an important ecological process that affects species’ population dynamics and colonization of new suitable areas. Knowledge of the causes and consequences of breeding dispersal is fundamental to our understanding of avian
