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

Effects of land use at a landscape scale on bumblebee nest density and survival [PDF]

, 2010
1. We have little idea how landscape-scale factors influence the success of wild bumblebee nests over time. Here for the first time we use molecular markers to estimate within-season changes in the numbers of nests. 2.

Patterns of predator behaviour and wood warbler Phylloscopus sibilatrix nest survival in a primaeval forest [PDF]

, 2019
Understanding the foraging behaviour of predators is key to interpreting the role of anti-predator adaptations of birds in reducing nest losses. Conducting research in primeval habitats, with low direct human interference, is particularly valuable in the

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.

Estimating direct and indirect effects of habitat structure on nesting field sparrows (Spizella pusilla) using structural equation models

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 ...

REPRODUCTIVE PARAMETERS OF RIO GRANDE WILD TURKEYS ON THE EDWARDS PLATEAU, TEXAS

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2010
: Rio Grande wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo intermedia) abundance has declined in portions of the Edwards Plateau of Texas since the late 1970s. Because reproductive performance influences population dynamics, our objectives were to evaluate how hen ...

A role for nonapeptides and dopamine in nest-building behaviour [PDF]

, 2015
During nest building in zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata), several regions in the social behaviour network and the dopaminergic reward system, two neural circuits involved in social behaviour, appear to be active in male and female nest-building ...
