Nest-Site Selection in the Acorn Woodpecker
The Auk, 1999Acorn Woodpeckers (Melanerpes formicivorus) at Hastings Reservation in central California prefer to nest in dead limbs in large, dead valley oaks (Quercus lobata) and California sycamores (Platanus racemosa) that are also frequently used as acorn storage trees. Based on 232 nest cavities used over an 18-year period, we tested whether preferred or modal

Nest-Site Selection by Sage Sparrows
The Condor, 1985--In 1980, 1981, and 1982, we studied nest-site selection by Sage Sparrows (Amphispiza belli) in a sagebrush community in Idaho to provide a thorough description of nest-site characteristics and preferences. Sage Sparrows nested in areas where sagebrush coverage was sparse but shrubs were clumped.

Selectivity and Repeated Use of Nesting Sites in a Freshwater Turtle
Herpetologica, 2013Understanding why turtles select specific localities to nest over others is important for management and conservation. For some species of freshwater turtle, the same localities are selected year upon year, but it is uncertain whether these localities are selected due to favored environmental conditions, or natal-site homing.

Nest Site Selection in Mountain Bluebirds
The Condor, 1981-Nest site selection was analyzed for a Mountain Bluebird (Sialia currucoides) population using two different types of nest box in southcentral Washington. The majority of adult females successful in fledging young during the previous year either returned to the same territory and nest box or selected the same type of nest box if they changed ...

Oecologia, 2011
In order to understand habitat selection, it is important to consider the way individual animals assess the suitability of a future reproductive site. One way of investigating mechanisms (such as those involved in nest site selection) is to examine breeding success and habitat characteristics in terms of animals returning to a place where they have ...

Nest-Site Selection by the Red-Tailed Tropicbird
The Auk, 1983Abstract Red-tailed Tropicbirds (Phaethon rubricauda) nest under shrubs in loosely associated groups on Christmas Island, Central Pacific Ocean. Aggressive interactions among adults at nest sites are high; yet, large areas of superficially similar habitat contain no tropicbird nests at all. We compared physiognomic features of nest sites

Nest site selection by fire ant queens
Insectes Sociaux, 1994We examined nest site selection by foundresses of the polygyne form ofSolenopsis invicta. In the laboratory, foundresses were allowed to nest in control soil vs. soil inoculated with refuse from a colony ofPheidole dentata, a natural enemy. In a second experiment foundresses chose between control andS. invicta soil.
