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 ...

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

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.

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

Success of Delayed Translocation of Loggerhead Turtle Nests [PDF]
The Journal of Wildlife Management, 2007 ABSTRACT Sea turtle embryo mortality in natural nests due to environmental and anthropogenic factors can be very high. To increase hatching success of these endangered species, nest translocation to hatcheries immediately after egg‐laying is a common management tool.

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 ...

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

The earlier the better? Nesting timing and reproductive success in subalpine cavity‐nesting bees [PDF]
Journal of Animal Ecology, 2021 Abstract Reproductive timing can affect an organism's production of offspring and its offspring's success, both of which contribute to its overall fitness. In seasonal environments, the timing of reproductive activity may be restricted to short periods of the year owing to numerous potential selective pressures such as variation in daylength, weather,
