Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2015 : Eastern wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris; hereafter, turkeys) often show preference for nesting near forest—field edges. Increasing landscape fragmentation, particularly in the eastern United States, has provided abundant edges but has also

Complex habitat patterns create unpredictable nest predation risk – an artificial nest experiment
, 2019 Although birds might increase nesting survival by selecting safe sites, nest predation is a major limiting factor in natural bird populations. We investigated how forest structure, predator distribution, and nest location contribute to nest predation ...

Oikos, EarlyView.Across north‐temperate environments, rapid environmental change has disrupted the seasonal life histories of resident organisms, decreasing the reliability of environmental cues. Flexible responses capable of buffering the effects of unpredictable environmental variation to defend performance and reproductive outcomes may thus be key to species‐ and ...

Incubation recess behaviors influence nest survival of Wild Turkeys
Ecology and Evolution, 2019 In ground nesting upland birds, reproductive activities contribute to elevated predation risk, so females presumably use multiple strategies to ensure nest success.

Warming modifies trophic impacts of invading shrimp with impact varying among primary producers
Oikos, EarlyView.Environmental change drivers, such as climate change and species invasions, can disrupt biological networks and weaken ecosystem stability. Acting together, these drivers may interact and alter the effects on the ecosystem. However, few studies have examined the interactive effects of climate change and species invasions, particularly in aquatic ...

Nonstationarity in wildlife disease dynamics: insights from the prairie dog–plague system
Oikos, EarlyView.Ecological relationships often vary in strength and direction across ecosystems, a pattern that has become increasingly evident as ecology expands to broader spatial and temporal scales. Although such nonstationarity – the changing effect of predictor variables across spatiotemporal contexts – is widely acknowledged in ecological research, it has ...

Mammalian Nest Predators Respond to Greenway Width, Habitat Structure, and Landscape Context
, 2003 Birds of conservation concern breed in suburban greenways, yet abundant populations of mammals that depredate bird nests may compromise nest success.
Novotny, Kristen Elise

, 2012 Parent birds should take greater risks defending nests that have a higher probability of success. Given high rates of mammalian nest predation, therefore, parents should risk more for nests in areas with a lower risk of mammalian predation.
