Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 4, Page 826-841, April 2022., 2022 Abstract The decline of critical habitat structures, such as large old trees, is a global environmental challenge. The cavities that occur in these trees provide shelter and nesting sites for many species but can take centuries to develop. Artificial cavities, including nest boxes and carved logs, offer an increasingly important conservation response ...
