Species Richness and Nesting Success of Migrant Forest Birds in Natural River Corridors and Anthropogenic Woodlands in Southeastern South Dakota [PDF]

, 2006
Forest fragmentation is thought to be partially responsible for declines in many Neotropical migrant birds due to the combined effects of higher rates of brood parasitism and increased predation near forest edges. A majority of the forested habitat in

Relationships Between Habitat and Snag Characteristics and the Reproductive Success of the Brown-headed Nuthatch (Sitta pusilla) in Eastern Texas. [PDF]

, 2004
Habitat use and reproductive success of the Brown-headed Nuthatch (Sitta pusilla Latham) were studied in East Texas during the 2001-2002 breeding seasons. We compared nest cavity selection at used and randomly selected non-used areas.

Effects of habitat and livestock on nest productivity of the Asian houbara Chlamydotis macqueenii in Bukhara Province, Uzbekistan [PDF]

, 2016
To inform population support measures for the unsustainably hunted Asian houbara Chlamydotis macqueenii (IUCN Vulnerable) we examined potential habitat and land-use effects on nest productivity in the Kyzylkum Desert, Uzbekistan.

The ART of mating : alternative reproductive tactics and mating success in a nest-guarding fish [PDF]

, 2016
Fish use different modalities to access mates for reproduction, often referred to as Alternative Reproductive Tactics (ARTs). ARTs are an example of coexisting phenotypes, which have to hold some degree of reproductive success to persist in a population.

The influence of clutch and brood sizes on nesting success of the biscutate swift, Streptoprocne biscutata (Aves: Apodidae)

Zoologia (Curitiba), 2011
The nesting success of three colonies of Streptoprocne biscutata (Sclater, 1866), and the influence of clutch and brood size on nesting success of species were studied. Overall, apparent nesting success was 58% and Mayfield nesting success was 53%.

Breeding of Golden Eagle in Southeast Zacatecas, Mexico

Huitzil, 2019
Studies of reproductive rate, nesting success, and reproductive productivity are useful to evaluate the population status of birds of prey. We introduce the occupation status, nest number, nesting success and productivity in three Golden Eagle nesting ...

Strategic nest site selection in one of the world's largest loggerhead turtle nesting colonies, on Maio Island, Cabo Verde

Oryx, 2023
For species without parental care, such as sea turtles, nest site selection is particularly important for embryo development, hatchling survival and, ultimately, reproductive success. We conducted an 8-year (2012–2019) capture–mark–recapture study of the

Effect of timing and female quality on clutch size in the Collared Flycatcher Ficedula albicollis [PDF]

, 2004
Capsule: Laying date and female age appear to be related to clutch size. Aims: To test two hypotheses ('date' and 'quality'), which might explain why fewer eggs are laid late in the season.

Urban pocket beaches as nesting habitat for marine turtles: Their importance and risk from inundation

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2023
Sandy areas between rocky uplands, or natural pocket beaches, provide important habitat for coastal wildlife. On developed coasts, similar sandy areas, called urban pocket beaches, occur in the gaps between properties with coastal armoring (sea walls or ...
