WILD TURKEY NESTING HABITAT AND SUCCESS RATES

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 1990
: Nest success rates for the eastern wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) are often low and affect population densities. We determined habitat use and success rates for 38 nesting hens in east‐central Mississippi from 1984 to 1988. Hens preferred

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

Contrasting Effects of Cattle Grazing Intensity on Upland-Nesting Duck Production at Nest and Field Scales in the Aspen Parkland, Canada

Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2008
The Aspen Parkland of Canada is one of the most important breeding areas for temperate nesting ducks in North America. The region is dominated by agricultural land use, with approximately 9.3 million ha in pasture land for cattle grazing.

A solitary wasp boosts nesting success through nest architecture (Hymenoptera, Vespidae, Anterhynchium flavomarginatum) [PDF]

Journal of Hymenoptera Research
While 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.

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

First report on two loggerhead turtle (Caretta caretta) nests in the Aeolian Archipelago (Southern Italy)

Acta Herpetologica, 2022
The Aeolian Archipelago (Southern Tyrrhenian Sea, Italy) hosts important foraging/overwintering habitats for Mediterranean loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta), although nesting sites have never been documented.

Alien vs. Predator: Impacts of Invasive Species and Native Predators on Urban Nest Box Use by Native Birds

Animals, 2023
Many bird species in Australia require tree hollows for breeding. However, assessing the benefits of urban nest boxes to native birds requires frequent monitoring that allows to assess nesting success.
