Context‐Dependent Behavior and the Benefits of Communal Nesting
The American Naturalist, 1998We 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 ...

RODENTS AS NEST PREDATORS: INFLUENCES ON PREDATORY BEHAVIOR AND CONSEQUENCES TO NESTING BIRDS
The Auk, 2003Abstract 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 ...

NEST DESCRIPTION AND NESTING BEHAVIOR OF THE RUFOUS-CAPPED WARBLER (BASILEUTERUS RUFIFRONS)
Ornitología Neotropical, 2018Abstract · The breeding biology of most tropical resident bird species is little-documented, particularly for sexually monomorphic species in which sex-specific contributions to nest-building and nestling provisioning are challenging to quantify. We describe nest structure and adult behavior throughout the nesting cycle for a color-banded population of
