Reed Parrotbill nest predation by tidal mudflat crabs: Evidence for an ecological trap?
Ecosphere, Volume 6, Issue 1, Page 1-12, January 2015., 2015 Understanding the relationships between nesting habitat quality and predation risk is essential for developing appropriate conservation management for threatened species. This is particularly relevant where anthropogenic pressures could decouple the environmental cues used by birds to assess nesting habitat quality from increased predation risk.
