Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2010 We examined the reproductive consequences of differential nest site use in Fork-tailed Storm-Petrels (Oceanodroma furcata) in the Aleutian Islands, Alaska, where birds on islands where foxes were introduced nest in rocky substrate rather than in typical ...

Influence of Habitat Patch Characteristics on the Success of Upland Duck Nests
Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017 When there is a rich guild of nest predators that use different modalities and techniques to locate hidden nests, we hypothesized that no habitat patch characteristic will consistently predict nest success, because if such a characteristic existed then ...

Success of Delayed Translocation of Loggerhead Turtle Nests [PDF]
The Journal of Wildlife Management, 2007 ABSTRACT Sea turtle embryo mortality in natural nests due to environmental and anthropogenic factors can be very high. To increase hatching success of these endangered species, nest translocation to hatcheries immediately after egg‐laying is a common management tool.

Nest site fidelity and nesting success of female wild turkeys
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2022 Abstract Nest site fidelity is a common behavioral trait among birds that can positively influence reproductive success when there is spatial heterogeneity and temporal predictability in nest site quality. Nest site fidelity in wild turkeys ( Meleagris gallopavo ) has ...

Avian Research, 2018 Background Nest predation is usually the main cause of bird nest failure. ‘Predation avoidance hypothesis’ of nest-site selection predicts that birds should prefer nest-sites with higher nesting success.

Diversity, 2020 Climate change is likely to have strong impacts on oviparous animals with minimal parental care, because nest temperature can impact egg development, sex, and survival, especially in the absence of mitigation via parental care.

Diversity, 2023 Seabirds are compelled to nest on land, away from their feeding areas, which they can only reach by leaving eggs or chicks in the nest, often for long periods of time.

The earlier the better? Nesting timing and reproductive success in subalpine cavity‐nesting bees [PDF]
Journal of Animal Ecology, 2021 Abstract Reproductive timing can affect an organism's production of offspring and its offspring's success, both of which contribute to its overall fitness. In seasonal environments, the timing of reproductive activity may be restricted to short periods of the year owing to numerous potential selective pressures such as variation in daylength, weather,

Productivity and Nesting Success of Thick-Billed Parrots [PDF]
The Condor, 2002 Abstract We studied productivity and nesting success of the Thick-billed Parrot (Rhynchopsitta pachyrhyncha) during a 7-year period (1995–2001) in five nesting areas at the Sierra Madre Occidental in Mexico. Two breeding areas continue to be the breeding strongholds for the species.

Nest site selection and breeding ecology of the Ferruginous Duck (Aythya nyroca) in Algeria
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2021 Ecologically, the Nature Reserve of Tonga Lake (northeastern Algeria) is very important for waterbirds. This study investigates breeding biology of an emblematic species of this region: The Ferruginous Duck (Aythya nyroca), a duck ranked globally 'Near ...
