A Distribution-Free Nest Survival Model
Biometrics, 1988 In many nest survival studies, nests are not found until after incubation has begun and nests that fail are of unknown age while nests that succeed can be aged afterwards. Typically ornithologists have considered the survival time to be from first encounter and have used the Mayfield method (Mayfield, 1961, Wilson Bulletin 73, 255-261; Mayfield, 1975 ...

Canada goose nest survival at rural wetlands in north‐central Iowa
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2016 The last comprehensive nest survival study of the breeding giant Canada goose (Branta canadensis maxima) population in Iowa, USA, was conducted >30 years ago during a period of population recovery, during which available nesting habitat consisted ...

Nest-site selection and breeding success of passerines in the world’s southernmost forests [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Background Birds can maximize their reproductive success through careful selection of nest-sites. The ‘total-foliage’ hypothesis predicts that nests concealed in vegetation should have higher survival.

Variability in Nest Survival Rates and Implications to Nesting Studies
The Auk, 1982 -We used four reasonably large samples (83-213) of Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) and Blue-winged Teal (A. discors) nests on an interstate highway right-of-way in southcentral North Dakota to evaluate potential biases in hatch-rate estimates. Twelve consecutive, weekly searches for nests were conducted with a cable-chain drag in 1976 and 1977. Nests were

Behavioral strategies during incubation influence nest and female survival of Wild Turkeys
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Females must balance physiological and behavioral demands of producing offspring with associated expenditures, such as resource acquisition and predator avoidance. Nest success is an important parameter underlying avian population dynamics.

PLoS ONE, 2021 Grassland birds are declining faster than any other avian guild in North America and are increasingly a focus of conservation concern. Adaptive, outcome-based management of rangelands could do much to mitigate declines.

Microhabitat Nest Cover Effect on Nest Survival of the Red-Crested Cardinal
The Wilson Journal of Ornithology, 2012 Abstract We evaluated the influence of microhabitat vegetation cover on Red-crested Cardinal (Paroaria coronata) nest survival in natural forests in central eastern Argentina by monitoring 106 nests for 1,262 exposure days. Daily nest survival rates increased with vegetation cover above the nest and decreased linearly as the breeding season progressed.

Trappings of Success: Predator Removal for Duck Nest Survival in Alberta Parklands
Diversity, 2020 Nest survival is most limited by nest predation, which often is increased by anthropogenic causes including habitat fragmentation, mesopredator release and predator subsidies.

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Due to consistent population declines across the continent, grassland birds have become a guild of high conservation and management interest. Despite a large number of studies investigating grassland bird habitat associations, we know relatively little ...
