We distinguished four
nesting phases: 1) initial first-egg stage, 2) early two- to three-egg stage, 3) later laying period with more than three eggs, 4) incubation period.
Nesting success of birds in different silvicultural treatments in southeastern U.S.
Nest sites and
nesting habitat of the northern spotted owl in northwestern California.
Two wren
nesting studies found that house wrens prefer nest boxes with old nests in them.
By raising DSR to the power of nest duration (the number of days from initiation to completion), we can estimate true nest success rate for the entire
nesting cycle (i.e.
While western wood-pewees are not considered a riparian obligate, they often use these habitats (Skagen et al., 2005) but might not find suitable
nesting sites in areas dominated by tamarisk and Russian olive.
Compared with south-coastal and southwestern Alaska, little is known about Kittlitz's Murrelets in northern Alaska, even though this region constitutes a large portion of this species' range and potential
nesting habitat (Felis et al., in press).
Beebe (1959) provided the 1st evidence of Black Swift
nesting in British Columbia.
(2011) in the context of quantifying the effects of cavity type (wooden nest box versus a PVC tube with >9.5-cm vertical depth) and a commercially marketed
nesting deterrent in a factorial design.
Hazel Evans, who runs the BTO's Nest Box Challenge, an online survey where members of the public can submit data about
nesting attempts, gives us her top tips for putting up a nest box.
Nest predation is often the major cause of
nesting failure in birds (Ricklefs, 1969; Martin, 1995).
According to the bases, camping and other activity on turtle
nesting beaches at night can deter female turtles from
nesting and lead them to lay eggs in the sea, potentially destroying 100 eggs.
High rates of clutch loss may result from the occurrence of superabundant generalist egg predators that opportunistically prey upon
nesting birds and their eggs (Marzluff and Neatherlin 2006).
About nine pairs of bobolinks are
nesting at the Mount Jefferson Conservation Area in Hubbardston, fewer than in 2012.
