Nest survival rate of Reeves's pheasant (Syrmaticus reevesii) based on artificial nest experiments. [PDF]

Zool Res, 2017
To explore the nest survival rate of Reeves's pheasant(Syrmaticus reevesii) and the nest-site factors that affect it, we conducted artificial nest experiments with reference to natural nests at Dongzhai National Nature Reserve(DNNR), Henan Province and Pingjingguan, Hubei Province from April to June 2014 simulating the situation in its early and later ...

Effects of roadside edge on nest predators and nest survival of Asian tropical forest birds

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2018
Creation of roadside forest edges can have indirect effects on forest bird communities, as edges can promote species detrimental to forest-nesting birds such as nest predators.

Fine-scale plasticity in nest placement can compensate for poor quality junipers as nesting trees for gray vireos [PDF]

PeerJ, 2021
Understanding the interactions between behavior and habitat characteristics can have important implications for species of conservation concern. Gray vireos (Vireo vicinior) are one example of a species of conservation concern that is understudied in ...

Macro- and Microhabitat Predictors of Nest Success and Hatchling Survival in Eastern Box Turtles (Terrapene carolina carolina) and Spotted Turtles (Clemmys guttata) in Oak Savanna Landscapes

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Differing selection pressures on stationary nest contents compared to mobile offspring mean that the nest-site characteristics resulting in the highest nest success may not be the same characteristics that result in the highest survival of juveniles from

Optimizing Nest Survival and Female Survival: Consequences of Nest Site Selection for Canada Geese [PDF]

The Condor, 2007
AbstractWe examined the relationship between attributes of nest sites used by Canada Geese (Branta canadensis) in the Copper River Delta, Alaska, and patterns in nest and female survival. We aimed to determine whether nest site attributes related to nest and female survival differed and whether nest site attributes related to nest survival changed ...

Nest survival of the Snowy Plover Charadrius nivosus at Marismas Nacionales, Nayarit

Huitzil, 2022
Breeding habitat loss and nest predation are considered the main causes of Snowy Plover (Charadrius nivosus) populations decline worldwide. We evaluated the effects of season, nest age, distance to nearest vegetation patch, distance to nearest body of ...

Camouflage predicts survival in ground-nesting birds [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2016
AbstractEvading detection by predators is crucial for survival. Camouflage is therefore a widespread adaptation, but despite substantial research effort our understanding of different camouflage strategies has relied predominantly on artificial systems and on experiments disregarding how camouflage is perceived by predators.

Drivers of nest survival in the Tawny-bellied Seedeater Sporophila hypoxantha (Aves: Thraupidae): time-specific factors are more related to success than ecological variables

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2021
Tawny-bellied Seedeater (Sporophila hypoxantha) is an endangered (in Brazil) grassland dependent species, whose breeding success remains poorly known hampering conservation measures on its breeding grounds.

Tide and habitat features affect salt marsh songbird nest survival in northeast Florida, USA

Endangered Species Research, 2020
Tidal salt marshes face numerous pressures that threaten their ecological integrity, and many salt marsh vertebrates have exhibited declines concomitant with the degradation of salt marsh habitats.

Egg crypsis in a ground‐nesting shorebird influences nest survival [PDF]

Ecosphere, 2013
Coloration of exposed eggs of ground‐nesting birds is thought to reduce predation, with camouflaged eggs that more closely match the area around the nest having greater survival. We tested this hypothesis using digital photographs of 374 Mountain Plover (Charadrius montanus) nests and the substrate surrounding each nest to produce covariates in nest ...
