Mitigating Effects of Nest Structure on Predation Risk in Hainan Partridge (<i>Arborophila ardens</i>). [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Evol
Enclosed nest structures can disrupt predator search efficiency and reduce predation risk. Predation rate in the uncovered group was significantly higher than that in the covered group. Our study highlights the functional limitations of nest‐structure evolution within complex predation environments.
