Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Differing selection pressures on stationary nest contents compared to mobile offspring mean that the nest-site characteristics resulting in the highest nest success may not be the same characteristics that result in the highest survival of juveniles from

Repeatability of Nest Site Selection of Green Turtles on Samandağ Beach
Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University Journal of Marine Sciences and FisheriesNest site selection is a maternal effect on hatchling survival in species without parental care. Sea turtles depend on sandy beaches for nesting, and females perform nest site selection on the beach for the successful development of their embryos.

The importance of scale-dependent ravine characteristics on breeding-site selection by the Burrowing Parrot, Cyanoliseus patagonus [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 In birds, the environmental variables and intrinsic characteristics of the nest have important fitness consequences through its influence on the selection of nesting sites. However, the extent to which these variables interact with variables that operate

Considering Spatial Scale and Reproductive Consequences of Habitat Selection when Managing Grasslands for a Threatened Species. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Habitat selection that has fitness consequences has important implications for conservation activities. For example, habitat characteristics that influence nest success in birds can be manipulated to improve habitat quality with the goal of ultimately ...

Artificial Cavities and Nest Site Selection by Puerto Rican Parrots: a Multiscale Assessment
Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2006 We examined nest site selection by Puerto Rican Parrots, a secondary cavity nester, at several spatial scales using the nest entrance as the central focal point relative to 20 habitat and spatial variables.

Age-related nest-site segregation in a solitary nesting population of white stork Ciconia Ciconia
Frontiers in ZoologyBackground Habitat selection plays a crucial role in avian reproductive success, with nest-site characteristics and individual traits influencing breeding outcomes. This study investigates the relationship between breeder’s age and nest-site selection in
