DOI: 10.1007/s11273-018-9631-x
Abstract: Floating bird nests occur ephemerally in many wetlands, providing resources for wildlife, but the species using such nests and their ecological roles are poorly studied. Grebes (Podicipedidae) construct floating nests anchored to vegetation. During 2010–2017… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.marpolbul.2021.112889
Abstract: Unlike records of plastic ingestion and entanglement in seabirds which date back to the 1960s, the literature regarding debris in bird nests is comparatively limited. It is important to identify standardised methods early so that… read more here.

DOI: 10.1139/cjz-2018-0182
Abstract: Many organisms build nests which create unique microhabitats that are exploited by other animals. In turn, these nest colonizers may positively or negatively influence nest owners. Bird nests are known to harbor communities that include… read more here.
