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

Avian 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

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 ...

Influence of olfactory and visual cover on nest site selection and nest success for grassland‐nesting birds

Ecology and Evolution, 2017
AbstractHabitat selection by animals is influenced by and mitigates the effects of predation and environmental extremes. For birds, nest site selection is crucial to offspring production because nests are exposed to extreme weather and predation pressure. Predators that forage using olfaction often dominate nest predator communities; therefore, factors

WILD TURKEY NESTING HABITAT AND SUCCESS RATES

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 1990
: 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

Nest success of ground‐nesting ducks in the wetlands of Great Salt Lake, Utah

Ecology and Evolution, 2023
AbstractThe number of ground‐nesting ducks in the wetlands of Great Salt Lake, Utah has drastically decreased in the past few decades. A potential cause for this decline is the increase of predator species and their abundances, which has caused most nests to fail from depredation.

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

Molecular 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 ...

Plasma Gelation as an Overlooked Determinant of Transfection Efficiency in Protein Corona‐Coated Lipid Nanoparticles: Implications for In Vitro–In Vivo Translation

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Upon contact with plasma, lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) rapidly acquire a protein corona (PC) that redefines their biological identity. In calcium‐containing environments, these coronated particles trigger the formation of a gel‐like plasma network, profoundly altering their transport properties and reducing their effective availability.

Nesting dynamics of Red-wattled Lapwing Boddaert, 1783 in urban and rural regions of Indore, India

Journal of Threatened Taxa
With their ground-nesting habits, the Red-wattled Lapwing Vanellus indicus are particularly vulnerable to urbanization, which ffects their nesting behaviour, reproductive success, and habitat use. The present study was designed to explore the adaptation
