Colonizers on the road: European bee-eaters shift nest-site selection to roadside habitats. [PDF]
EcologyNest-site selection in birds results from a compromise among nest-predation risk, food availability, and microclimatic requirements (Martin, 1993, 1995).

Nest site selection by male fathead minnows, Pimephales promelas.
, 1989 Nest site selection by male fathead minnows was examined by placing artificial nest sites of three sizes at three depths and on two sides of a pond. Structure size and side of the pond were important predictors of structure use as nests.

Effect of nest age and habitat variables on nest survival in Marsh Harrier (Circus aeruginosus) in a fishpond habitat [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Background One important anti‐predator strategy adopted by birds involves nest site selection and timing of breeding. Nest-site selection by marsh-nesting birds often involves nest concealment and water depth as key features influencing nest survival ...

Ecological Indicators, 2021 Common approaches to estimating habitat quality are habitat suitability indices, which are often subjective. We propose a quantitative definition of habitat quality as the percentage of selected habitat that has a high probability of contributing to ...
