Predator guards on nest boxes improve nesting success of birds
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2017 Humans have long provided nest boxes in a widespread and popular effort to augment nesting sites for cavity‐nesting birds. Nest boxes, however, may provide easy access for predators and thereby create ecological traps for nesting birds.

Mammal-exclusion fencing improves the nesting success of an endangered native Hawaiian waterbird [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Invasive predator control is often critical to improving the nesting success of endangered birds, but methods of control vary in cost and effectiveness. Poison-baiting or trapping and removal are relatively low-cost, but may have secondary impacts on non-

Nesting success of red-winged blackbirds (Agelaius phoeniceus) in marshes in an anthropogenic landscape [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2022 Recent analyses show significant population declines in many abundant avian species, especially marsh-nesting species including the red-winged blackbird (RWBL). Hypothesized causes include reduced nesting success resulting from changing land-use patterns

Nesting success of wood‐cavity‐nesting bees declines with increasing time since wildfire [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Bees require distinct foraging and nesting resources to occur in close proximity. However, spatial and temporal patterns in the availability and quantity of these resources can be affected by disturbances like wildfire.

Nesting and Nest Success of the Leatherback Turtle (Dermochelys coriacea) in Suriname, 1999–2005 [PDF]
Chelonian Conservation and Biology, 2007 ABSTRACT. - Suriname beaches support a major nesting colony of leatherback turtles. During the 1999-2005 nesting seasons, we collected data on nesting ecology and identified individual turtles that nested at Babunsanti (Galibi Nature Reserve), Samsambo, Kolukumbo, and Matapica. We observed 8462 leatherback females, 6933 of which we PIT-tagged.

Patterns of nesting behaviour and nesting success for green turtles at Raine Island, Australia
Endangered Species Research, 2022 To understand how turtles use the nesting habitat at Raine Island across a nesting season, and how the turtles respond to the restoration of the island’s dune systems, we identified 534 nesting events for 39 green turtles Chelonia mydas across 2 breeding

Nest architecture is linked with ecological success in songbirds [PDF]
Ecology Letters, 2021 Bird nests are essential structures that directly determine the fitness of an organism. While there is theory and evidence predicting an association between species nest traits and their habitat, few studies have comprehensively examined the macroevolutionary patterns driving nest evolution, species niche and their interrelation.
