Abstract: Predation risk is vital in determining habitat quality. But landscapes of fear are complex and dynamic, such as temperate deciduous forests characterized by intermittent, synchronized production of large seed crops (mast peaks). These “resource pulses”… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.beproc.2019.104029
Abstract: Nest predation often leads to breeding failure and is an important component of natural selection that affects the evolution of nest defense behavior in birds. Many tit species give a hissing call as nest defense,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-018-25746-5
Abstract: Social monogamy with bi-parental care is the most common breeding pattern in birds, yet cooperation between mates has not been intensively studied to date. In this study we investigate synchronisation of parental behaviours in the… read more here.

Nest predation predicts infanticide in a cooperatively breeding bird
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Biology Letters"
DOI: 10.1098/rsbl.2019.0314
Abstract: In cooperatively breeding species, social conflict is typically assumed to underlie destructive behaviours like infanticide. However, an untested alternative hypothesis in birds is that infanticide in the form of egg tossing may simply be a… read more here.

Global pattern of nest predation is disrupted by climate change in shorebirds

DOI: 10.1126/science.aat8695
Abstract: No longer a safe haven Many biological patterns have a latitudinal component. One long-recognized pattern is that predation rates are higher at lower latitudes. This may explain why many migratory birds travel thousands of miles… read more here.
