The Larger the Egg, the Safer the Nest: A Study on the Negative Correlation Between Nest Predation Rates and Egg Size of Two Tropical Phasianids in Hainan

Ecology and Evolution
Nest predation is the principal cause of breeding failure, with ground nests facing greater predation pressure. Most phasianids are vulnerable to endangerment owing to their relatively large body size, low breeding rate, and tendency to build ground ...

Modeling long‐term population viability to inform recovery of a functionally extinct urban Blanding's turtle population

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We used a population viability analysis to evaluate the influence of headstarting on recovery of the Rouge National Urban Park Blanding's turtle population. Completing the remaining 12 years of the 20‐year headstarting program is projected to approximately double population size relative to no further supplementation.

Spatial Analysis of Nest Productivity and Predation in Prothonotary Warblers [PDF]

, 2015
Generally, statistics are based off the assumption that observations are independent from each other in space. In larger ecological systems however, there can be spatial autocorrelation whereby data collected in nearby areas are not independent of one ...

Effect of population reinforcement method, site, and plant characteristics on early establishment of the rare endemic plant species Minuartia smejkalii

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Many habitat‐specialist plant species have been endangered by fragmentation or destruction of their habitats. Minuartia smejkalii is a serpentinophyte endemic to the Czech Republic. It is highly threatened by recent habitat destruction and fragmentation, calling for effective conservation measures.

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Birds with altricial offspring need to feed them regularly, but each feeding visit risks drawing attention to the nest and revealing its location to potential predators.
