Nest monitoring does not affect nesting success of Whinchats Saxicola rubetra [PDF]
Ibis, 2018 It is important to assess the effect that research activities may have on animals in the wild, especially when key parameters, such as breeding success, could potentially be influenced by observer activity. For birds, some studies have suggested that nest monitoring can increase the chances of nest failure due to predation, whereas others suggest that ...

Assessing the Consequences of Brood Parasitism and Nest Predation On Seasonal Fecundity in Passerine Birds [PDF]
, 1995 Brood parasites and nest predators reduce the seasonal fecundity and, hence, the population growth rates of their victims. However, most field studies do not measure directly how parasites and predators decrease seasonal fecundity, but instead measure ...

Occupancy rates and nesting success of European storm-petrels breeding inside artificial nest-boxes
Scientia Marina, 2003 We report on occupancy rates and nesting success of European storm-petrels Hydrobates pelagicus breeding in artificial nest-boxes for five years. Plastic nest-boxes were installed inside two natural caves on the island of Benidorm (western Mediterranean),

Nest-site selection by roseate terns breeding on aride island, Seychelles [PDF]
, 1998 Nest-site selection by tropical Roseate Terns (Sterna dougallii) was examined on Aride Island, Seychelles. Continuous variables reflecting concealment of the nest site, shelter, vegetation cover and intraspecific nest density were measured for nest-sites
