Nesting and Nest Success of the Leatherback Turtle (Dermochelys coriacea) in Suriname, 1999–2005 [PDF]
Chelonian Conservation and Biology, 2007 ABSTRACT. - Suriname beaches support a major nesting colony of leatherback turtles. During the 1999-2005 nesting seasons, we collected data on nesting ecology and identified individual turtles that nested at Babunsanti (Galibi Nature Reserve), Samsambo, Kolukumbo, and Matapica. We observed 8462 leatherback females, 6933 of which we PIT-tagged.

Ecology and EvolutionDue to rapid homogenization in habitat types as a result of urbanization, some urban birds adapt their nesting strategies to changes in local habitat characteristics.

PLoS ONE, 2019 The importance of nest characteristics for birds breeding in the extreme climate conditions of polar regions, has been greatly understudied. Nest parameters, like nest orientation, exposure and insulation, could strongly influence microclimate and ...

The effect of nest site on the nesting success of the Coot Fulica atra
Ornis Fennica, 2013 The nesting success of Coots (Fulica atra) breeding at lakes and small inland water bod-ies in the Mazurian Lakeland, Poland, was estimated in 2008 and 2009. Mean nesting suc-cess, indicated by hatching, was 75%; it was highest at lakes in the vicinity of built-up areas (86%), moderate at small inland water bodies (69%) and lowest at lakes far from hu ...

Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2023 Invasive species present numerous threats to ecosystems as they compete with other species for resources and displace them from their habitats. One of the most invasive birds is the European Starling (Sturnus vulgaris), which recently invaded and started

Nest Survival of American Coots Relative to Grazing, Burning, and Water Depths
Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2011 Water and emergent vegetation are key features influencing nest site selection and success for many marsh-nesting waterbirds. Wetland management practices such as grazing, burning, and water-level manipulations directly affect these features and can ...

Journal of Field OrnithologyNumerous studies report proximity to land cover edges decreases avian nesting success, yet variation among species, sites, and nesting guilds obscures overall patterns.

PLoS ONE, 2015 Several studies have suggested that significant embryo mortality is caused by microbes, while high microbial loads are generated by the decomposition of eggs broken by later nesting turtles.

Patterns of nesting and nest success in an evergreen forest in Southeast Asia
Emu - Austral Ornithology, 2019 Southeast Asian forest birds are threatened by the highest rate of tropical deforestation globally, but conservation efforts regionally have very limited information from which to make policy and management plans. To provide baseline data on nesting and nest success for forest birds from an intact forest, we monitored 1506 nests of 54 species during ...
