Over much of its range, the bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) has substantially recovered from declines in the mid–late 1900s, which resulted from habitat loss, human persecution and disturbance, and contamination by the pesticide DDT.

Meadow birds on organic and conventional arable farms in the Netherlands: abundance and nest success [PDF]
, 2010 Intensification of agriculture is mentioned to be the key drive behind the decline of farmland birds on grassland and on arable land. This raises the question whether a less intensive system, such as organic, can stop or reverse these declines.

Closing the Loop: High‐Precision 3D Photofabrication in Living Tissues
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Writing 3D microstructures inside living tissue demands more than laser access; It demands information. Hierarchical sensing captures thermal and mechanical states across pulse‐train, voxel, and structure timescales, feeding a controller that steers the laser in real time.

Effect of Feathers as Nest Insulation on Incubation Behavior and Reproductive Performance of Tree Swallows (\u3cem\u3eTachycineta bicolor\u3c/em\u3e) [PDF]
, 1995 Many species of birds line their nests with feathers, presumably because of the insulative qualities of feathers and because feathers may act as a barrier between nest parasites and nestlings.

IMPACT OF NEST-SITE SELECTION ON NEST SUCCESS AND NEST TEMPERATURE IN NATURAL AND DISTURBED HABITATS
Ecology, 2002 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.

Influence of nesting habitat selection on Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) nesting success
, 2012 In the Marismas of the Guadalquivir (SW Spain), the nesting season of the Mallard extends from late January to late May. The relative importance of different nesting habitats changed throughout this period.
