The conservation ecology of the European nightjar (Caprimulgus europaeus) in a complex heathland-plantation landscape.
… requirements. Comparison of the diets of birds nesting or roosting at varying distances from grass-heath suggested that forest and heathland habitats provide similar foraging resources for the nightjar. Behavioural data from nest camera footage indicated that the factors influencing the duration …

Spatial ecology of Western Ratsnakes (Pantherophis obsoletus) : implications for bird nest predation
… forests, many birds face high rates of nest predation, to the point where this region may serve as a population sink for some species. That is, so many of their eggs and young are eaten by predators that these birds cannot produce enough offspring to replace themselves, rendering regions …

Snakes as predators of bird nests: now and in a warming world
… evolutionary biology. For most species of birds, nest predation is the primary cause of nest failure and snakes have often been implicated as important nest predators. However, in other studies snakes are absent or infrequent predators. Here, I reviewed available nest camera studies from North …

Nesting Ecology Of Red-Headed Woodpeckers (Melanerpes Erythrocephalus) In Central Minnesota
The nesting ecology of Red-headed Woodpeckers (Melanerpes erythrocephalus) has not been well studied anywhere in the species’ range, and the few studies that have addressed nest success have not monitored nests through the entirety of the nesting cycle. The objectives of my study include estimating …

Avian nest predation: relationships with landscape characteristics and influences on adult and nestling behavior.
Nest predation is the leading cause of reproductive failure in birds. As a result, many studies have sought to understand what factors influence nest predation as well as the ways in which birds respond to predation. However, identifying the factors that lead to variation in nest predation has …
