Nest-site selection and nesting success of Eurasian Nuthatch in China

Russian Journal of Ecology, 2015
The nest-site selection and nesting success of Eurasian Nuthatch (Sitta europaea) were studied two habitats, suburb of Beijing and Zuojia Natural Reserve, in northeast China from 2004 to 2008. Nuthatches in the study area bred mostly in the deciduous stands.

Validity of Using Artificial Nests to Assess Duck-Nest Success

The Journal of Wildlife Management, 1998
Artificial nests have been used in numerous studies of nest success because they can provide adequate sample sizes and be placed in accordance with experimental designs. However, the critical assumption that a strong linear relation exists between success of artificial and natural nests has rarely been tested.

Ruddy Duck Nesting Success: Do Nest Characteristics Deter Nest Predation?

The Condor, 1999
It has been hypothesized that proximity to edges, timing of nesting, nest concealment or inaccessibility, working singly or in concert, may explain variable nesting success of birds, but results have been mixed. I tested these hypotheses by determining fates and measuring nest-site features of 233 Ruddy Duck (Oxyura jamaicensis) nests near Minnedosa ...

Nest-Site Characteristics and Nesting Success of the Greater Pewee in Arizona

The Southwestern Naturalist, 2000
We provide information on nest-site characteristics and nesting success of the greater pewee, Contopus pertinax, in the Huachuca Mountains of southeastern Arizona. Primary breeding habitats include montane pine-oak forests and sycamore or cottonwood riparian forests.

Factors affecting blue goose nesting success

Canadian Journal of Zoology, 1971
Blue geese at McConnell River, N.W.T., lost 20% of eggs, mostly late in incubation. Parasitic jaegers and herring gulls were attracted to the colony and were efficient at finding eggs although geese defended their nests strongly. Since egg loss could only occur in the absence of both geese, jaegers, and gulls acted as scavengers rather than predators.

Nested perceptions of project success

2010
Taking a cognitive approach, this paper explores individual team memberʼs perceptions of a construction project and identifies prominent processes in the project lifecycle which contribute to the perceptions of success. Approached through a case investigation, this study compares three building conversion projects.

Characteristics of successful nest sites for marsh-nesting common terns

Canadian Journal of Zoology, 1987
The relationship between nest site characteristics and nest success during tidal flooding was studied in six New Jersey colonies of marsh-nesting common terns (Sterna hirundo). Most colonies were on high ground with a northeast water exposure, and almost all nests were on mats of dead vegetation.

Analysis of Successive Doubly Nested Mixed-Mode Oscillations

International Journal of Bifurcation and Chaos
In previous works [Inaba & Kousaka, 2020; Inaba & Tsubone, 2020; Inaba et al., 2023], significant bifurcation structures referred to as nested Mixed-Mode Oscillations (MMOs) were found to be present in forced Bonhoeffer–van der Pol (BVP) oscillators.
