Effect of Feathers as Nest Insulation on Incubation Behavior and Reproductive Performance of Tree Swallows (\u3cem\u3eTachycineta bicolor\u3c/em\u3e) [PDF]

, 1995
Many species of birds line their nests with feathers, presumably because of the insulative qualities of feathers and because feathers may act as a barrier between nest parasites and nestlings.

Habitat selection and reproduction of red-backed shrikes (Lanius collurio) in relation to abundance of potential avian nest predators [PDF]

, 2010
Many studies of farmland bird species have related abundance of species to different habitat variables, whereas few studies have incorporated the effects of predation on habitat selection. However, it is generally assumed that prey species select habitat

Nest Change and Individual Fitness in a Scopoli’s Shearwater Population: A Capture-Recapture Multistate Analysis

Diversity, 2023
Seabirds are compelled to nest on land, away from their feeding areas, which they can only reach by leaving eggs or chicks in the nest, often for long periods of time.

Extrinsic factors similarly affect nest survival of a threatened shorebird in natural and human-created habitats

Avian Conservation and Ecology
Knowledge of factors that influence nest survival can inform effective conservation management for imperiled avian species. Habitat availability and quality are common priorities of conservation efforts, and climate and interspecific associations can ...

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.

Nest age and survival.

, 2016
Predicted daily streaked horned lark nest survival (days) using the equation from the baseline model. Nests included in the model were from sites located in the Puget lowlands, the lower Columbia River and the Washington coast (ness = 2269).
