Nest-Site Selection by Sage Sparrows

The Condor, 1985
--In 1980, 1981, and 1982, we studied nest-site selection by Sage Sparrows (Amphispiza belli) in a sagebrush community in Idaho to provide a thorough description of nest-site characteristics and preferences. Sage Sparrows nested in areas where sagebrush coverage was sparse but shrubs were clumped.

Nest-site selection and nesting success of Eurasian Nuthatch in China

Russian Journal of Ecology, 2015
The nest-site selection and nesting success of Eurasian Nuthatch (Sitta europaea) were studied two habitats, suburb of Beijing and Zuojia Natural Reserve, in northeast China from 2004 to 2008. Nuthatches in the study area bred mostly in the deciduous stands.

Nest-site selection and nest size influence the incubation temperature of Morelet's crocodiles

Journal of Thermal Biology, 2020
In oviparous tetrapods, the nesting-site selection by females is related to the habitat characteristics, which influences nest incubation temperature. Females can directly influence the incubation temperature by choosing certain construction materials or by building nests of different sizes.

Nest site selection in the open-nesting honeybee Apis florea

Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, 2008
We studied nest site selection by swarms of the red dwarf honeybee, Apis florea. By video recording and decoding all dances of four swarms, we were able to determine the direction and distances indicated by 1,239 dances performed by the bees. The bees also performed a total of 715 nondirectional dances; dances that were so brief that no directional ...

Nest site selection and nest-building behaviour in domestic fowl

Animal Behaviour, 1989
Domestic hens, Gallus gallus domesticus, prefer to lay in nests containing loose material which can be both moulded by their body and feet movements and manipulated with their beaks during nest building. This study attempted to define which of these two functions the hen regards as more important. When given a choice, hens opted for nests that could be

Selectivity and Repeated Use of Nesting Sites in a Freshwater Turtle

Herpetologica, 2013
Understanding why turtles select specific localities to nest over others is important for management and conservation. For some species of freshwater turtle, the same localities are selected year upon year, but it is uncertain whether these localities are selected due to favored environmental conditions, or natal-site homing.
