Old nest material functions as an informative cue in making nest-site selection decisions in the European Kestrel (Falco tinnunculus)

Avian Research, 2019
Background For secondary cavity-nesting bird species that do not add lining materials to nests, the presence of old nest material or organic remains that have accumulated within nest cavities from previous breeding events may be a cue of nest-site ...

Multi‐scale evaluation of eastern wild turkey nest‐site selection and nest survival

Wildlife Society Bulletin
The relationship between nest‐site selection and nest success remains unclear for many avian species. Discrepancies among results may be driven by the localized conditions of study sites being evaluated at a single scale. We monitored eastern wild turkey

Present and future thermal environments available to Sharp-tailed Grouse in an intact grassland.

PLoS ONE, 2018
Better understanding animal ecology in terms of thermal habitat use has become a focus of ecological studies, in large part due to the predicted temperature increases associated with global climate change.

Residency patterns and apparent survival in a cavity-nesting bird: population consequences of nest-box supplementation revealed by a long-term study

Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2021
Phenotypic plasticity may help organisms persist in modified habitats. Yet, its adaptive value is frequently ignored because fitness consequences are not explored at the required time scale.

Wild Burmese python nest site selection, thermogenesis, and brooding behaviors in the Greater Everglades Ecosystem

Ecosphere
Invasive Burmese pythons (Python bivittatus) are extremely cryptic animals. Although their conservation status in their native range is Vulnerable, in the Greater Everglades Ecosystem (Florida, USA) they have become a dominant destructive force and ...

Boldness and Stress Responsiveness as Drivers of Nest‐Site Selection in a Ground‐Nesting Bird

Ethology, 2013
AbstractNest‐site selection involves trade‐offs between the probability of nest discovery by egg predators, danger to the incubating parent from predators and provision of an appropriate microclimate for incubation, and all three components are potentially influenced by nest concealment and distance to habitat edge.

Visual and Olfactory Concealment of Duck Nests: Influence on Nest Site Selection and Success

Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2016
Selecting a nest site is an important decision for waterfowl. Because most nest failure is due to depredation, the primary selective pressure in choosing a nest site should be to reduce depredation risk. This task is difficult, however, because predators use differing tactics to locate nests, such as olfactory or visual cues.

Beach erosion and nest site selection by the leatherback sea turtle Dermochelys coriacea (Testudines: Dermochelyidae) and implications for management practices at Playa Gandoca, Costa Rica

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2010
Leatherback sea turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) nest on dynamic, erosion-prone beaches. Erosive processes and resulting nest loss have long been presumed to be a hindrance to clutch survival.
