Timing of nest vegetation measurement may obscure adaptive significance of nest‐site characteristics: A simulation study

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.2767
Abstract: Abstract Advances in understanding avian nesting ecology are hindered by a prevalent lack of agreement between nest‐site characteristics and fitness metrics such as nest success. We posit this is a result of inconsistent and improper… read more here.

Nest-site defence aggression during courtship does not predict nestling provisioning in male collared flycatchers

DOI: 10.1007/s00265-019-2672-1
Abstract: Individuals of many animal species show consistent differences in ecologically relevant behaviours, and these individual-specific behaviours can correlate with each other. In passerines, aggression during nest-site defence is one of those behaviours that have been… read more here.

Maternal nest building and choice of nest site are temperature dependent in mink: Parent-offspring temperature conflict?

DOI: 10.1016/j.applanim.2018.09.002
Abstract: Abstract We investigated whether nest building and nest site preference are temperature dependent in female mink. We designed two experiments: in Experiment 1, female mink had access to unheated (7 °C, Room7C group) or heated (25 °C,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.biocon.2019.01.032
Abstract: Abstract Primary tropical forests are becoming increasingly disturbed and fragmented, making it critically important to understand the conservation value of degraded forests. Many populations of even the largest and most iconic species are now found… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2020.118602
Abstract: Abstract Forestry practices based on fire prevention and biomass acquisition for energetic purposes may have negative effects on biodiversity. To ensure that forest management is compatible with biodiversity conservation, the identification and use of surrogate… read more here.

Pinyon jay (Gymnorhinus cyanocephalus) nest site selection in central New Mexico
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Journal of Arid Environments"
DOI: 10.1016/j.jaridenv.2021.104549
Abstract: Abstract Pinyon jays (Gymnorhinus cyanocephalus) are experiencing range wide population declines primarily in response to habitat degradation. More studies examining pinyon jay nest site selection in pinyon-juniper woodlands would be helpful in determining potential habitat… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/biolinnean/blz188
Abstract: Microhabitat orientation and structure and the presence of conspecifics may strongly influence the choice of habitat. We studied how these variables influence retreat- and nest-site selection in gravid females of a globally successful invasive species,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ibi.12498
Abstract: An influential period in avian life-cycles is the annual breeding season, when competition over suitable nesting-sites and territories is a key factor that can determine fitness and distribution, especially for highly species that are highly… read more here.

DOI: 10.2108/zs210100
Abstract: Animals with resource-based breeding systems show varying sexual selection modes driven by resource availability. Males of the freshwater goby Tridentiger brevispinis (Pisces: Gobiidae), which are larger, with a longer dorsal-fin, than females, make nests under… read more here.
