Impact of Nest-Site Selection on Nest Success and Nest Temperature in Natural and Disturbed Habitats
Nest-site selection behavior is a maternal effect that contributes to offspring survival and variation in offspring phenotypes that are subject to natural selection. We investigated nest-site selection and its consequences in the snapping turtle, Chelydra ser- pentina, in northwestern Illinois.

Rol de la cronología de anidación y las características parentales en el éxito reproductivo del piquero de Nazca (Sula granti) en Isla de la Plata, Ecuador [PDF]
Reproductive success in Sula granti could be influenced by nesting initiation timing, body condition and sexual size dimorphism (SSD). The objective of this investigation is to establish if in S. granti reproductive success is related with nesting timing,

Seasonal variation in reproductive measures of tropical Roseate Terns Sterna dougallii: previously undescribed breeding patterns in a seabird [PDF]
Seasonal variation in egg-laying, egg size, hatching success, hatchling mass, fledging success and chick growth of Roseate Terns Sterna dougallii breeding on Aride Island (Seychelles), Indian Ocean, were studied in 1997 and 1998.

Western snowy plover breeding dispersal in response to nest failure in Monterey Bay, California, USA
We examined short-distance breeding dispersal between nesting attempts of the serially polygamous western snowy plover Anarhynchus nivosus nivosus, a federally threatened species in Monterey Bay, California, USA, during 2013-2020.

Breeding performance of an apex predator, the peregrine falcon, across urban and rural landscapes [PDF]
Urban environments present wildlife with major challenges and yet surprising numbers of species have colonised towns and cities globally. Despite the growing realisation that urban centres can be important habitats for wildlife, why some species do ...

Yelkouan shearwater nest-cavity selection and breeding success
We describe, for the first time, nest-cavities selected by the Mediterranean endemic yelkouan shearwater Puffinus yelkouan on French islands, comparing it with the sympatric Cory's shearwater Calonectris diomedea .

It is expected that birds have evolved nest site preferences that, on average, lead to positive fitness outcomes. It is possible, however, that mismatches occur between these preferences and reproductive success when a population experiences sudden ...
