Nest site selection by reddish egrets in Florida
The Journal of Wildlife Management, 2018ABSTRACTUnderstanding nest site preferences for a species is a necessary component of conservation efforts because it allows managers to protect and create habitat that will promote population growth. We surveyed 305 sites with or near colonially nesting waterbirds for nesting reddish egrets (Egretta rufescens) during 2016 in Florida, USA, to identify ...

Nonrandom Nest-Site Selection in Evening Grosbeaks
The Condor, 1987Nest-site selection was studied in Evening Grosbeaks (Coccothraustes vespertinus) living in two areas (Eldora and Wild Basin) of the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. One hundred and twenty-nine original variables were reduced to compare nesting (NS; n = 49) and nonnesting control (NNS; n = 10) sites using multivariate and univariate ...

Nest-Site Selection by Yellow-Footed Gulls
The Condor, 1989In 1977, we studied nest-site selection and breeding success of Yellow-footed Gulls (Larus livens) at Bahia de los Angeles, Baja California. Seventy-five percent of the population nested colonially, a habit facilitating defense against egg and chick predation by Common Ravens (Corvus corax).

Nest site selection by Hen Harriers in Scotland
Bird Study, 1998The aim of this study was to examine nest site selection by Hen Harriers Circus cyaneus at two spatial scales in Scotland and to assess whether breeding success was influenced by choice of nest site. At the landscape scale, we compared availability and utilization of habitats in 610 km2 of Argyll, and at the local scale, we compared vegetation and ...

Nest-Site Selection by Yellow-Eyed Penguins
The Condor, 1989Etude des caracteristiques de la vegetation qui favorisent le choix du site de nidification chez Megadyptes antipodes, ainsi que des relations entre la structure de population et le type et la densite de vegetation. Pour evaluer les caracteristiques de choix, la comparaison se fait entre une zone ou se trouve un nid et une zone determinee aleatoirement.

[On nest-site selection of Otic tarda].
Ying yong sheng tai xue bao = The journal of applied ecology, 2003During April to July in 2000 and 2001, the nest-site selection of Otis tarda was studied by direct observation and sampling method in the southeast grassland of Keyouqianqi in Inner Mongolia. The results showed that Otis tarda was one kind of big-sized bird built nests on the ground in sparse cluster, and the smallest distance between nests was 9 m ...

Strategies for Nest‐Site Selection by King Eiders
The Journal of Wildlife Management, 2009ABSTRACT Nest site selection is a critical component of reproduction and has presumably evolved in relation to predation, local resources, and microclimate. We investigated nest‐site choice by king eiders ( Somateria spectabilis ) on the coastal plain of northern Alaska ...

Nest Site Selection in the Terrapin Malaclemys terrapin
Copeia, 1975Northern diamondback terrapins nesting in sand dunes on Little Beach Island, Brigantine, New Jersey were studied during June and July 1973 to determine the factors affecting the timing of egg laying and the selection of nest sites. One to three censuses were taken daily over a transect 800 m long and 18 m wide at various times of the day.

Nest Site Selection by Eared Grebes in Minnesota
The Condor, 1994This study examined nest site selection within Eared Grebe (Podiceps nigricollis) colonies in terms of nesting synchrony, nearest-neighbor distances, vegetation, exposure, and nest success. Nests in 11 Eared Grebe colonies in Minnesota were initiated over a span of 11-45 days, with most nests in each colony initiated in
