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.

WILD TURKEY NESTING HABITAT AND SUCCESS RATES
: 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

Predicting Annual Fecundity from Nest Success [PDF]
Nest success, the probability that a nest will fledge offspring, is a widely measured parameter in ornithological studies, and is usually estimated by monitoring the fates of nests throughout a breeding season. Because nest success es- timates are commonly reported in the avian literature, a key question in population studies is how to derive annual ...

Sea turtle nesting activity along Eglin Air Force Base on Cape San Blas and Santa Rosa Island, Florida from 1994 to 1997. [PDF]
Along EAFB on Cape San BIas, the only sea turtle species nest observed has been the loggerhead turtle. The first green turtle nest documented along the Florida panhandle coast was observed on EAFB property, however (D. Atencio, EAFB, pers.

Success of Delayed Translocation of Loggerhead Turtle Nests [PDF]
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.
