Higher nest predation risk in association with a top predator: mesopredator attraction?

Oecologia, 2012
Breeding close to top predators is a widespread reproductive strategy. Breeding animals may gain indirect benefits if proximity to top predators results in a reduction of predation due to suppression of mesopredators. We tested if passerine birds gain protection from mesopredators by nesting within territories of a top predator, the Ural owl (Strix ...

Begging Behaviour and Nest Predation

2002
This chapter reviews the literature on the effects of predation on the evolution of begging behaviour. I conclude that there is little evidence for the existence of a present-day predation cost of begging for calls emanating from the nest site in which the calls evolved.

Nest-Site Characteristics Affecting the Risk of Nest Predation in the Madagascar Paradise FlycatcherTerpsiphone mutata: Identification of Predators and Time of Nest Predation

Ornithological Science, 2009
Abstract I investigated nest-site characteristics affecting the risk of nest predation in the Madagascar Paradise Flycatcher Terpsiphone mutata. Several nest predators have been identified in the study area, and the time of nest predation has also been determined.
