Four-Toed Salamander (hemidactylium Scutatum) Nest Site Characteristics In Natural And Constructed Wetlands In Eastern Kentucky
… is important to understand what specific habitat characteristics differ between natural and constructed wetlands and what impact these differences might have on the animal assemblages. Having restrictive habitat requirements makes the four-toed salamander a good candidate for study. The objectives …

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 …

Habitat Relationships and Life History of the Rota Bridled White-eye (Zosterops rotensis)
… bridled white-eyes were found to differ in nest site characteristics and some behaviors. The importance of habitat alteration was assessed by examining Rota bridled white-eye habitat relationships at the microhabitat, within-range, Sabana-wide, and island-wide levels. Rota bridled white-eyes …

Individual and Interactive Impacts of Mercury and Agriculture on Reproduction in a Freshwater Turtle, Chelydra serpentina
In aquatic turtles, females select nest sites that have a high degree of solar exposure, and exploit recently tilled agricultural fields for nesting, presumably because of increased solar exposure and/or easier nest excavation, and the importance of incubation temperature on survival and offspring …

Distribution and Productivity of Least Terns and Piping Plovers Along the Missouri and Cheyenne Rivers in South Dakota
… Park, NE. After initial surveys each colony site was searched for nests. Incubation stage was determined and nest site characteristics were recorded including: species, distance and height of nearest plant, percent vegetative cover, and distance and type of nearest object (driftwood, rock …

Gopher tortoise nest-site selection at burrows and the influence of nest environment on hatching success
Nesting and early life is a period of high mortality for many turtle species, so understanding how turtles select nest sites, and how those nest sites impact hatching success, may be important for successful species conservation. In this research, my objective was to 1) understand how the …

Hydrological factors influencing the ecology of riverbed breeding birds on the plains' reaches of Canterbury's braided rivers : a thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of Canterbury
… to check the validity of the approach. Breeding, nest site requirements, microhabitat preferences for foraging, diets, home ranges and food supply were studied. Wrybill time-budgets were examined, and the incremental approach to impact assessment was applied to wrybill foraging needs. Breeding …
