An improved automatic trap for capturing birds in nest boxes

Ethology Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Several traps have been designed for capturing birds in their nest boxes, and questions remain concerning the effectiveness, reliability and automatism of the traps. Here we developed an automatic trap, designed to capture parent birds in artificial nest

Effect of shading on trap nest utilization by hole-nesting aculeate Hymenoptera

The Canadian Entomologist, 2004
For many years, trap nests have been used to study hole-nesting bees and wasps (aculeate Hymenoptera) and to monitor their diversity and abundance (Krombein 1967; Danks 1971; Godfrey and Hilton 1983; Frankieet al.1998). Trap nests are valuable for environmental assessment (Tscharntkeet al.1998) and for agriculture through improved pollination by bees ...

A potential consequence for urban birds' fitness: Exposed anthropogenic nest materials reduce nest survival in the clay-colored thrush.

Environmental Pollution, 2023
Urban bird dwellers survive and reproduce in highly urbanized ecosystems. Some individuals adjust to these novel conditions by changing natural nesting materials for artificial materials, thus making nests more conspicuous in the environment.

Effects of location, direction, altitude, and placement of trap nests on the rate of trap-nesting of Osmia solitary bees

Journal of Asia-Pacific Entomology, 2015
Abstract Nest traps are one of the most common methods to study Osmia bees. To elucidate the optimal environmental conditions of nesting sites, we investigated the effects of location, direction, altitude, and sites of nest traps on the rate of trap-nesting Osmia spp.

The use of trap‐nests to support crop pollinators in agricultural areas

Ecological Research, 2022
Abstract Supporting and promoting invertebrate diversity within agricultural ecosystems has numerous benefits, including the provision of pollination services. Many insects, including wild pollinators, require floral resources for food and structural habitat for nesting.
