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.

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.

Estimating Raptor Nesting Success: Old and New Approaches. [PDF]
J Wildl Manage, 2013 ABSTRACTStudies of nesting success can be valuable in assessing the status of raptor populations, but differing monitoring protocols can present unique challenges when comparing populations of different species across time or geographic areas. We used large datasets from long‐term studies of 3 raptor species to compare estimates of apparent nest ...

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

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Nesting ecology of American crocodiles (Crocodylus acutus) in Florida has been both positively and negatively influenced by anthropogenic and natural factors since the species was placed on the federally endangered species list in 1975.

Embryonic death is linked to maternal identity in the leatherback turtle (Dermochelys coriacea). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Leatherback turtles have an average global hatching success rate of ~50%, lower than other marine turtle species. Embryonic death has been linked to environmental factors such as precipitation and temperature, although, there is still a lot of ...
