Nest Predation Deviates from Nest Predator Abundance in an Ecologically Trapped Bird. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 In human-modified environments, ecological traps may result from a preference for low-quality habitat where survival or reproductive success is lower than in high-quality habitat.

Avian Research, 2022 Nest predation is an essential factor affecting bird population density, reproductive ecology and life cycle. However, there are still contradictory results about how nest predation pressure changes with urbanization.

Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Nest predation is the primary cause of nest failure in most ground‐nesting bird species. Investigations of relationships between nest predation rate and habitat usually pool different predator species.

Coping with shifting nest predation refuges by European reed Warblers Acrocephalus scirpaceus. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Predation, the most important source of nest mortality in altricial birds, has been a subject of numerous studies during past decades. However, the temporal dynamics between changing predation pressures and parental responses remain poorly understood. We

Breeding phenology of birds: mechanisms underlying seasonal declines in the risk of nest predation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Seasonal declines in avian clutch size are well documented, but seasonal variation in other reproductive parameters has received less attention. For example, the probability of complete brood mortality typically explains much of the variation in ...

Contrast in edge vegetation structure modifies the predation risk of natural ground nests in an agricultural landscape. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Nest predation risk generally increases nearer forest-field edges in agricultural landscapes. However, few studies test whether differences in edge contrast (i.e.

Artificial nest predation rates vary depending on visibility in the eastern Brazilian Amazon [PDF]
Acta Amazonica, 2014 Observational and experimental studies have shown that increased concealment of bird nests reduces nest predation rates. The objective of the present study was to evaluate differences in predation rates between two experimental manipulations of ...

Do Freshwater Turtles Use Rainfall to Increase Nest Success?
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Rainfall following turtle nest construction has long been believed to increase nest survival by its effects on reducing the location cues used by nest predators.

Journal of Avian Biology, 2022 The majority of the world's seabirds show substantial population declines, but a detailed understanding of the phenomenon is lacking. A potentially important mechanism that has received momentum lately is nest predation.

Zoodiversity, 2020 Predation on breeding blue tit populations in north-eastern Algeria has been studied in nest boxes during a five years fieldwork (2003-2007) in cork oak forests. Nest boxes were placed each year in Brabtia plain forest in El Kala National Park.
