Published in 2023 at "Ecology and Evolution"

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.10093

Abstract: Abstract Birds select suitable nest sites for breeding to ensure their own and offspring's survival; however, they inevitably suffer some potential predation risk. We studied the breeding ecology of Daurian redstarts (Phoenicurus auroreus) by providing… read more here.

Published in 2017 at "Environmental pollution"

DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2017.08.098

Abstract: Artificial light at night (ALAN) or light pollution is an increasing and worldwide problem. There is growing concern that because of the disruption of natural light cycles, ALAN may pose serious risks for wildlife. While… read more here.

Published in 2021 at "Forest Ecology and Management"

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2021.118925

Abstract: Abstract Tree cavities are an essential requirement for reproduction and survival of secondary cavity nesters. Little is known, however, about how cavity distribution in space and time may limit their use during and outside of… read more here.

Published in 2020 at "Australian Mammalogy"

DOI: 10.1071/am19023

Abstract: Cavity-using birds and mammals reliant on nest boxes may be negatively affected by the poor thermal buffering of nest boxes. I investigated whether nest box use by the eastern pygmy-possum (Cercartetus nanus) over a 4-year… read more here.

Published in 2020 at "Agroecology and Sustainable Food Systems"

DOI: 10.1080/21683565.2020.1776434

Abstract: ABSTRACT Bird damage is a serious problem for many fruit growers. Utilizing nest boxes to attract natural predators of fruit-eating birds is frequently effective in lowering bird damage, as well as increasing fruit marketability. The… read more here.

Published in 2017 at "PLoS ONE"

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0185701

Abstract: Nest boxes for predators in agricultural regions are an easily implemented tool to improve local habitat quality with potential benefits for both conservation and agriculture. The potential for nest boxes to increase raptor populations in… read more here.

Published in 2018 at "PLoS ONE"

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0203269

Abstract: Small birds use cavities for roosting to decrease the thermoregulatory costs during the winter nights. The ability of birds to detect and escape from an approaching predator is impaired during roosting and thus the selection… read more here.
