Climate as an Evolutionary Driver of Nest Morphology in Birds: A Review
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Avian nests are critical for successful reproduction in birds. Nest microclimate can affect egg development, chick growth and fledgling success, suggesting that nest building behavior should be under strong selective pressure to nesting conditions. Given

IMPACT OF NEST-SITE SELECTION ON NEST SUCCESS AND NEST TEMPERATURE IN NATURAL AND DISTURBED HABITATS
Ecology, 2002 Nest-site selection behavior is a maternal effect that contributes to offspring survival and variation in offspring phenotypes that are subject to natural selection. We investigated nest-site selection and its consequences in the snapping turtle, Chelydra ser- pentina, in northwestern Illinois.

Vegetation structure linked to nest site selection and nest survival of northern bobwhite
Wildlife Society BulletinNesting success of northern bobwhites (Colinus virginianus) is related to the interaction of habitat and predators because vegetation can act as a buffer to obscure visual and olfactory nest cues.

Ecología Austral, 2007 Using large and small nest boxes I determined the effect of the nest box size upon nesting and renesting probability, as well as the reproductive success of two secondary cavity nesters, the thorn-tailed rayadito (Aphrastura spinicauda) and the house ...

Avian Conservation and EcologyIt is expected that birds have evolved nest site preferences that, on average, lead to positive fitness outcomes. It is possible, however, that mismatches occur between these preferences and reproductive success when a population experiences sudden ...

Habitat selection and nest survival in two Great Plains shorebirds
Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2020 As breeding populations of many grassland bird species decline, assessments of breeding habitat selection and reproductive success can provide useful insight into breeding ecology to support conservation delivery.

Nest Success and Nesting Habits of Eastern Kingbirds and Other Flycatchers
The Condor, 1983 -Patterns of nest placement and its relationship to nest success in the Eastern Kingbird (Tyrannus tyrannus) were studied in populations breeding in New York and Kansas. Data were augmented with information on nest placement in other open-nesting tyrannids in order to examine the hypothesis that these flycatchers place their nests chiefly so as to ...

Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2022 Populations of several species of birds endemic to the Galápagos Islands have declined during recent decades, including endemic Little Vermilion Flycatchers (Pyrocephalus nanus). Understanding the reasons for the low breeding success of this species is a
