Context‐Dependent Behavior and the Benefits of Communal Nesting

The American Naturalist, 1998
We present a model for the behavior of communally nesting insects. Females may forage for food to provision offspring or may remain in the nest, with the option of eating and replacing nest mates' eggs. Orphaned brood are at risk of predation. The optimal behavior of solitary females is determined using stochastic dynamic programming; static and ...

The influence of regional hydrology on nesting behavior and nest fate of the American alligator

The Journal of Wildlife Management, 2012
AbstractHydrologic conditions are critical to the nesting behavior and reproductive success of crocodilians. In South Florida, USA, growing human settlement has led to extensive surface water management and modification of historical water flows in the wetlands, which have affected regional nesting of the American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis).

RODENTS AS NEST PREDATORS: INFLUENCES ON PREDATORY BEHAVIOR AND CONSEQUENCES TO NESTING BIRDS

The Auk, 2003
Abstract Nest predation is the primary cause of nest failure among birds. As such, it has large consequences on avian populations and is believed to be an important force in the evolution of avian life-history traits. Therefore, using a combination of laboratory and field research, we investigated the potential of northern flying squirrels (Glaucomys ...

The Effects of Suburbanization on Nest Ectoparasites and Nest Defense Behavior in the Wood Thrush

2014
The Wood Thrush (Hylocichla mustelina) is declining throughout its range, yet is capable of persisting in both contiguous forests and small forest patches surrounded by human suburban development. Thus, it is an ideal species for gaining insight into the effects of suburbanization on migrant songbirds.
