Heterospecific Nest Site Copying Behavior in a Wild Bird: Assessing the Influence of Genetics and Past Experience on a Joint Breeding Phenotype

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2018
Breeding site selection is often a joint decision of pair members in species with biparental care and the experience of both pair members may influence the use of information for site selection.

Nest-Site Selection in the Horseshoe Crab, Limulus polyphemus

The Biological Bulletin, 1994
Like a number of other species, horseshoe crabs lay their eggs on beaches in the intertidal zone. The elevation of the beach on which they nest differs among populations. We examined two factors that potentially affect egg survival at different beach elevations: erosion and rate of development.

Nest-site habitat partitioning by Arctic, Common, and Roseate terns

Avian Conservation and Ecology
When closely related species that share aspects of their habitat niches nest in sympatry, selection is expected to favor species-specific differences in nest-site selection that allow birds to partition habitat. We tested habitat-partitioning theory in a

Nest Characteristics and Nest Site Selection of Giant Babax in Lhasa

The Giant Babax, an endemic bird in China and a nationally protected wildlife species of Class Ⅱ, is primarily distributed in southern and southeastern Tibet. To investigate the factors influencing nesting site selection, this study conducted research on nest characteristics and nesting site preferences at four sample sites around Lhasa from March to ...

Limited influence of nest site vegetation on female wild turkey survival during incubation

Ecosphere
Resource quality in heterogeneous environments directly underlies individual fitness. Gallinaceous birds, such as female eastern wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris), face significant reproductive challenges, particularly predation risk ...
