The Influence of Age on the Breeding Biology of Colonial Nesting Seabirds

1980
In 1938 Fraser Darling enunciated his now famous hypothesis known as the Fraser Darling effect. He suggested, from investigations with Herring Gulls (Larus argentatus) and Lesser Black-backed Gulls (L. fuscus), that the main advantage to birds nesting in colonies was that the individuals received what he termed “social stimulation.” The result of such ...

Bird Nesting in Chickasaw Plum Related to Age of Plum in Oklahoma

The American Midland Naturalist, 2010
Abstract We described passerine nesting in Chickasaw plum (Prunus angustifolia) as related to plum age in north-central Oklahoma during the 2007 and 2008 nesting seasons to better understand the role of plum in bird ecology. We measured properties of nests (height aboveground), nest-supporting stems (height, diameter, age) and nesting stands (age, area)

Nest hole age decreases nest site attractiveness for the European Starling Sturnus vulgaris

2007
I studied whether the European Starling Sturnus vulgaris has a preference for a particular age of their nesting hole in an old deciduous forest in Central Poland. I documented the probability that Starlings bred in natural holes (excavated by Great Spotted Woodpecker Dendrocopos major) of a known age in consecutive seasons.
