Yelkouan shearwater nest-cavity selection and breeding success

open access: yesComptes Rendus. Biologies, 2007
We describe, for the first time, nest-cavities selected by the Mediterranean endemic yelkouan shearwater Puffinus yelkouan on French islands, comparing it with the sympatric Cory's shearwater Calonectris diomedea .

Distribution pattern of an expanding Osprey (Pandion haliaetus) population in a changing environment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
We studied the nest site selection and distribution pattern at landscape level of the German Osprey population, and demonstrated how to test the predictions of the ideal free distribution theory and its derivatives on such an expanding population ...

Effects of nest box size on the nesting and renesting pattern of Aphrastura spinicauda and Troglodytes aedon

open access: yesEcología 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 ...

Exotic plants and other habitat characteristics do not impact Veery reproductive success at multiple spatial scales in northeastern Pennsylvania

open access: yesAvian Conservation and Ecology
It 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 ...

The feeding and breeding ecology of little blue penguins (Eudyptula minor) from Tiritiri Matangi Island, New Zealand : a thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Conservation Ecology, Massey University [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
At present the New Zealand populations of Little Blue Penguins (LBP: Eudyptula minor) are classified as 'Threatened' and in 'Gradual Decline' by the Department of Conservation. Effective conservation management of the North Island sub-species requires an

PREDATOR COMMUNITY AND RESEARCHER‐INDUCED IMPACTS ON NEST SUCCESS OF RIO GRANDE WILD TURKEYS IN TEXAS

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, 2010
: Rio Grande wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo intermedia) populations in Texas appear to be declining, and poor nest success could be contributing to the decline.

Habitat selection and nest survival in two Great Plains shorebirds

open access: yesAvian 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.

The invasive parasitic fly Philornis downsi is threatening Little Vermilion Flycatchers on the Galápagos Islands

open access: yesAvian 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
