Responses of three nesting sea turtle species to hard-armoring structures
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 In the face of modern challenges, analyzing sea turtle nesting trends is critical to better understand impacts to these vulnerable species. The introduction of hard-armoring structures (e.g., seawalls, rock revetments) on sea turtle nesting beaches poses

Nest site fidelity and nesting success of female wild turkeys
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2022 Abstract Nest site fidelity is a common behavioral trait among birds that can positively influence reproductive success when there is spatial heterogeneity and temporal predictability in nest site quality. Nest site fidelity in wild turkeys ( Meleagris gallopavo ) has ...

A solitary wasp boosts nesting success through nest architecture (Hymenoptera, Vespidae, Anterhynchium flavomarginatum) [PDF]
Journal of Hymenoptera ResearchWhile nest architecture of social wasps has been extensively studied, the structural adaptations of solitary Eumeninae remain poorly understood, despite their remarkable nesting biology. We set up trap nests for Anterhynchium.

Do Artificial Nests Simulate Nest Success of Greater Sage-Grouse?
Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2013 Artificial nests have been used to study factors affecting nest success because researchers can manipulate them more than natural bird nests. Many researchers have questioned the validity of generalizing the results from artificial nests onto naturally occurring nests.

Secondhand homes: The multilayered influence of woodpeckers as ecosystem engineers
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Ecosystem engineers alter, and can be influenced in turn by, the ecosystems they live in. Woodpeckers choose foraging and nesting sites based, in part, on food availability. Once abandoned, these cavities, particularly within areas of high forage, may be

Artificial nesting success and nest building behavior of common myna, Acridotheres tristis using paper/plastic [PDF]
Caspian Journal of Environmental Sciences, 2022 The objective of this paper is to analyze the nesting success and nest building behavior of myna, Acridotheres tristis, using paper/plastic Myna in artificial nest. The boxes were placed at different sites, including University Town, Rahat Abad and Qadir

Nest monitoring does not affect nesting success of Whinchats Saxicola rubetra [PDF]
Ibis, 2018 It is important to assess the effect that research activities may have on animals in the wild, especially when key parameters, such as breeding success, could potentially be influenced by observer activity. For birds, some studies have suggested that nest monitoring can increase the chances of nest failure due to predation, whereas others suggest that ...
