Does nest predation affect nest-site selection in larks ?
Revue d'Écologie (La Terre et La Vie), 1996 Nest-site selection may affect nest predation rates. In this paper we analyse nest-site habitat selection in the Thekla and Lesser Short-toed larks, and compare the habitats of successful and predated nests. Both species have a preference for safe sites. At present, however, there are not habitat differences between successful and predated nests.

Effect of nest age and habitat variables on nest survival in Marsh Harrier (Circus aeruginosus) in a fishpond habitat [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Background One important anti‐predator strategy adopted by birds involves nest site selection and timing of breeding. Nest-site selection by marsh-nesting birds often involves nest concealment and water depth as key features influencing nest survival ...

Ecological Indicators, 2021 Common approaches to estimating habitat quality are habitat suitability indices, which are often subjective. We propose a quantitative definition of habitat quality as the percentage of selected habitat that has a high probability of contributing to ...

Nest site selection by sea turtles [PDF]
Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 1995 The distribution of 38 nests of loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta) on beaches on Sanibel and Captiva islands, south-western Florida (26°26'N 82°16'W), and of 70 first digging attempts by green turtles (Chelonia mydas) on Ascension Island (7°57'S 14°22'W), was quantified.

Nest site selection in Norwegian woodpeckers
Ecography, 1990 The nest site selection of seven Norwegian woodpeckers, Dryocopus martius, Picus viridis, P. canus, Picoides tridactylus, Dendrocopos leucotos, D. major and D. minor , was compared. The following parameters were measured at the nesting tree: forest type,
