Nest Predation in the Canarian Houbara Bustard (Chlamydotis undulata fuertaventurae): An Experimental Study Using Artificial Nests

open access: yesEcological Research, Volume 41, Issue 3, May 2026.
We investigated nest predation in the endangered Canarian houbara bustard using 229 artificial nests and camera traps. Ravens were identified as the main predators, and predation rates were influenced by raven density, vegetation cover, stone cover, and road density.
