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

open access: yesZoologia (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%.

Nesting success and productivity of Tucuman Parrots [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Most of our knowledge of reproduction of wild parrots in the Neotropics comes from studies of tropical lowland species, with few studies addressing species of high-altitude forests. We studied the reproductive biology of Tucuman Parrots (Amazona tucumana)

Breeding of Golden Eagle in Southeast Zacatecas, Mexico

open access: yesHuitzil, 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

open access: yesOryx, 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

The earlier the better? Nesting timing and reproductive success in subalpine cavity-nesting bees

open access: yes, 2021
1. 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 ...

Seasonal increase of nest height of the Silver-throated Tit (Aegithalos glaucogularis): can it reduce predation risk?

open access: yesAvian Research, 2018
Background Nest predation is usually the main cause of bird nest failure. ‘Predation avoidance hypothesis’ of nest-site selection predicts that birds should prefer nest-sites with higher nesting success.

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

open access: yesGlobal 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 ...

Intrapatient tumour heterogeneity and clonal evolution in an autopsy study of metastatic salivary gland cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Tumour heterogeneity and clonal evolution of metastatic salivary gland cancer were evaluated in two patients with adenoid carcinoma and one patient with myoepithelial carcinoma. Radiology‐guided autopsy enabled multi‐region sampling (total samples n = 149), followed by whole‐genome sequencing and phylogenetic reconstruction (17 tumour samples, 4–7 per ...

Behaviour of kittiwakes during the breeding season: relationships with nest density and breeding success [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
Activity budgets for kittiwakes at the nest site were determined for colonies on Tyneside during the pre-laying period in 1996 and for the Skomer Island colony during the pre-laying period in 1998 and for incubation and chick rearing in 1997 and 1998 ...
