From nesting to emergence: Environmental drivers of hatchling success in Blanding’s turtles and implications for management in Southeast Michigan
… to juvenile recruitment. We used intensive nest monitoring, microclimate logging, soil measurements, and local weather data at two Southeast Michigan sites to quantify how nest placement, incubation environments, and substrate conditions influence emergence success and hatchling condition. …

Atmospheric and spatial drivers of egg abundance in beach nesting shorebirds across an urban-coastal gradient of the Rockaway Peninsula, New York
… the drivers of reproductive patterns in beach-nesting shorebirds is essential for conservation in dynamic coastal systems. This study evaluated the influence of atmospheric, geomorphological, and anthropogenic factors on egg abundance and nesting patterns across four distinct areas of the …

Demography, Nest Site Selection, and Physiological and Behavioral Responses to Overflights and other Human Activities, of Wilson's Plover (Charadrius wilsonia) at Cape Lookout National Seashore, North Carolina
… decline. I studied Wilson's Plover demography, nest site selection, and physiological and behavioral responses to overflights at Cape Lookout National Seashore, North Carolina, where the National Park Service and U.S. Marine Corps recently lowered the altitude for overflights at tactical speeds. …

Life History Divergence & Tidal Salt Marsh Adaptations of the Coastal Plain Swamp Sparrow
… glaciation. Since that time the increased nest predation, temperature, season length, salinity and tidal flow of the coastal marshes relative to inland wetlands has resulted in a number of adaptations among coastal sparrows due to natural selection, sexual selection, and phenotypic …

The Influence of Forest Structure on Sumatran Orangutan Nesting and Densities in the Lowland Dipterocarp Forests of North Sumatra
… that orangutans were primarily selecting nest sites that provided more stable and sheltered platforms thereby offering greater comfort rather than selecting for nests which reduced the risk of predation by limiting access to ground predators (Ancrenaz et al. 2004a; Cheyne et al. 2013). The …

Factors affecting piping plover (Charadrius melodus) nest site selection following landscape and predator community changes
… and human interventions significantly impact nesting habitat use by species like the piping plover (Charadrius melodus) along Atlantic coastlines. Our study focused on Fire Island, New York, assessing changes in vegetation succession, plover nesting habitat selection, and suitable nesting …

Effects Of A Shore Protection Project On Loggerhead And Green Turtle Nesting Activity And Reproduction In Brevard County, Florida
… correlated with the stability and quality of the nesting environment. Because females show fidelity to key nesting beaches, the management and physical characteristics of these beaches directly affect future generations of marine turtles and may be essential for the recovery of these threatened …

On the nest site characteristics of the 'dusky' orange-crowned warbler (Vermivora celata sordida) endemic to Santa Catalina Island
This study focuses on the nest site of a poorly known endemic subspecies of orange-crowned warbler (Vermivora celata sordida). The research took place during 2006 on Santa Catalina Island, part of the Channel Island archipelago in Southern California. As one of the first detailed descriptions of …

Development of Sustainable Harvest Strategies for Cellulose-Based Biofuels: Harvest Effects on Game Bird Production
… the possible effects of biomass harvest on nesting game birds. Specific objectives of this study in southeastern South Dakota included: (1) quantifying nest success to determine if haying treatments have an impact, (2) determining if haying treatments affect nesting density, (3) determining …
