Predicting Annual Fecundity from Nest Success [PDF]

The Open Ornithology Journal, 2008
Nest success, the probability that a nest will fledge offspring, is a widely measured parameter in ornithological studies, and is usually estimated by monitoring the fates of nests throughout a breeding season. Because nest success es- timates are commonly reported in the avian literature, a key question in population studies is how to derive annual ...

Consistent nest-site selection across habitats increases fitness in Asian Houbara [PDF]

, 2018
Nest-site choice profoundly influences reproductive success and the survival of incubating adults. Asian Houbara (Chlamydotis macqueenii) nest in subtly contrasting habitats where the main cause of nest failure is predation.

Can nest design hinder brood parasitism success?

Journal of Avian Biology
Avian nest design varies depending on environmental factors but may also be influenced by between‐species interactions. In the brood parasitism context, hosts may evolve nest architectures that may limit parasite access to the nest cup, reduce parasite ...

Hanging Position of Artificial Nest Boxes Affects Reproductive Success of Russet Sparrow Passer cinnamomeus

Animals
Secondary cavity-nesting birds can utilize artificial nest boxes provided by humans for breeding, making nest boxes important approaches for attracting birds.

Estimating raptor nesting success: Old and new approaches [PDF]

The Journal of Wildlife Management, 2013
ABSTRACTStudies of nesting success can be valuable in assessing the status of raptor populations, but differing monitoring protocols can present unique challenges when comparing populations of different species across time or geographic areas. We used large datasets from long‐term studies of 3 raptor species to compare estimates of apparent nest ...

Assessing the use of artificial nests for predicting predation pressure in New Zealand forest fragments : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Science in Ecology at Massey University [PDF]

, 2005
Using artificial nests to predict the predation pressure on natural bird nests has been the subject of over 400 publications, the vast majority quantifying aspects that affect nest success.

The ART of mating : alternative reproductive tactics and mating success in a nest-guarding fish [PDF]

, 2016
Fish use different modalities to access mates for reproduction, often referred to as Alternative Reproductive Tactics (ARTs). ARTs are an example of coexisting phenotypes, which have to hold some degree of reproductive success to persist in a population.

The Amur Paradise Flycatcher ( Terpsiphone incei ) with distinct male dichromatism: implications for nest-site selection and nesting success

Journal of Field Ornithology
Nest-site selection plays a crucial role in reproductive success and survival of birds, particularly for territorial birds. Therefore, it is important to understand how birds identify and select their nesting sites.

Resilient Eggs: Highly Successful Loggerhead Sea Turtle Nesting Sites Vary in Their Characteristics

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Sea turtle nest success, defined as the number of eggs in a nest that successfully hatch and emerge, is closely linked to environmental conditions. Interacting biotic and abiotic factors influence hatching and hatchling emergence success.

Nesting behaviour influences species-specific gas exchange across avian eggshells [PDF]

, 2014
Carefully controlled gas exchange across the eggshell is essential for the development of the avian embryo. Water vapour conductance (GH2O) across the shell, typically measured as mass loss during incubation, has been demonstrated to optimally ensure the
