PLoS ONE, 2022 Birds can assess nest predation risk and adjust their parental activity accordingly. Risk taking behavior should be related to investment in reproduction as well as to confidence in parenthood that often differ between sexes.

Does nest-site cover reduce nest predation for rhinocryptids? [PDF]
, 2004 Cover at nesting sites selected by breeding birds can reduce the risk of nest predation. Using artificial nests, we tested whether dense cover reduces nest predation upon understory birds (rhinocryptids) in temperate forest of Chile.

Fight or flight: Geographic variation in antipredator defenses by cinereous tits
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2020 In the face of death from predation, parent birds have to choose between prioritizing current versus future reproduction. Previous studies have shown that when exposed to predation risk, birds breeding in the tropics prioritize their own safety, whereas ...

Predatory Identity Can Explain Nest Predation Patterns [PDF]
, 2012 Knowledge of dominant predators is necessary to identify predation patterns and mitigate losses to nest predation, especially for endangered songbirds. We monitored songbird nests with time lapse infrared video cameras at Fort Hood Military Reservation ...

Journal of Field Ornithology, 2023 Temperate zone songbirds in North America can experience high levels of nest predation and Brown-headed Cowbird (Molothrus ater) parasitism, which may contribute to population declines, and an important question is whether nesting females can mitigate ...

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2020 Nest predation is a major limiting factor of bird reproductive success, and predation by snakes may have particularly adverse effects on passerines. The reed parrotbill (Paradoxornis heudei) is a threatened passerine that inhabits reedbeds in East China,

Nest predation on birds that nest in rock cavities in a tropical limestone forest of southern China
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2017 High nest predation is often found in tropical birds, though data from tropical limestone regions are lacking. In a limestone karst rainforest of south China, two species of babblers breed in rock cavities in different seasonal periods: the endangered ...

Deceptive nest defence in ground-nesting birds and the risk of intermediate strategies. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Nest predation is an important determinant of reproductive success and ground-nesting birds exhibit a variety of nest defence strategies to mitigate the risk. Many small-bodied, ground nesting birds rely on deceptive behaviours such as injury-feigning to

Habitat selection and reproduction of red-backed shrikes (Lanius collurio) in relation to abundance of potential avian nest predators [PDF]
, 2010 Many studies of farmland bird species have related abundance of species to different habitat variables, whereas few studies have incorporated the effects of predation on habitat selection. However, it is generally assumed that prey species select habitat

From Lab to Landscape: Environmental Biohybrid Robotics for Ecological Futures
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This Perspective explores environmental biohybrid robotics, integrating living tissues, microorganisms, and insects for operation in real‐world ecosystems. It traces the leap from laboratory experiments to forests, wetlands, and urban environments and discusses key challenges, development pathways, and opportunities for ecological monitoring and ...
