Ecology and Evolution, 2023 AbstractOur current understanding of the factors that influence where birds nest is incomplete, yet such information is important for accurate demographic assessments. To address questions related to spatial distributions of shorebird nests and to evaluate factors that may affect nest distribution in these species, during 2017 and 2019, we studied a ...

Individual and Environmental Determinants of Daily Black Grouse Nest Survival Rates at Variable Predator Densities [PDF]
Annales Zoologici Fennici, 2010 Nest predation in ground nesting black grouse (Tetrao tetrix) inhabiting managed boreal forests is arguably the single most important cause of nesting failure. Little is known, however, about indirect effects of other factors, such as maternal or environmental properties, and to what extent maternal and habitat qualities interact with varying levels of

Nest daily survival rate of six Costa Rican urban birds
The Wilson Journal of Ornithology, 2020 The advance of urbanization in Neotropical countries has drastically changed or eliminated extensive areas of natural habitats. Despite these changes, some species breed in cities and adapt to urban conditions. Several variables, such as the type of nest, substrate, and height, as well as the distance to buildings at which nests are constructed, may ...

Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2023 Abstract Background: During the pandemic nursing homes in the Netherlands were heavily affected by COVID-19. The goal of this study was to assess the impact of COVID-19 on infection rate, survival rate and daily functioning over the course of 2 years among residents of a small nursing home in the South of the Netherlands, which was amongst the ...

Miniature temperature data loggers increase precision and reduce bias when estimating the daily survival rate for bird nests [PDF]
Journal of Field Ornithology, 2021 Demographic studies of many bird species are challenging because their nests are cryptic, resulting in few nests being found. To maximize statistical power, methods are needed that minimize disturbance while yielding as much information per nest as possible.

Daily Survival Rates of Eggs in Artificial Ground and Shrub Bird Nests on Small Adriatic Islands
Ardeola, 2015 Predation may cause important losses to the biodiversity of small islands. In this study we analysed the predation pressure on clutches of nesting birds in two islands of the Zadar archipelago, Olib and Silba, which belong to an Important Bird Area in Croatia.

Helpers increase daily survival rate of Southern Lapwing ( Vanellus chilensis ) nests during the incubation stage [PDF]
The Wilson Journal of Ornithology, 2017 Abstract Cooperative breeding is characterized by reproduction in the presence of helpers. What impact these helpers have on the reproductive success of group members is one of the long-standing questions in the cooperative breeding literature.

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2021 Abstract Siam Catfish (Pangasius pangasius) is a freshwater fish commodity that has important economic value because of its fast growth and easily cultured. One way to increase catfish production is through fulfilling the nutritional requirements through the feed.
