Nest survival patterns in Eurasian Bittern: effect of nest age, time and habitat variables
Determining the key factors affecting the reproductive success of nesting birds is crucial in order to better understand the population dynamics of endangered species and to introduce effective conservation programmes for them. Inhabiting a variety of wetland habitats, aquatic birds actively select safe nesting sites so as to protect their nests against predators. The main aim of the present wo...
متن کاملSharp-Tailed Grouse Nest Survival and Nest Predator Habitat Use in North Dakota’s Bakken Oil Field
Recent advancements in extraction technologies have resulted in rapid increases of gas and oil development across the United States and specifically in western North Dakota. This expansion of energy development has unknown influences on local wildlife populations and the ecological interactions within and among species. Our objectives for this study were to evaluate nest success and nest predat...

متن کاملNest survival rates of Red-crested Cardinals increase with nest age in south-temperate forests of Argentina
The main cause of nest mortality for most bird species is predation and nest survival rates often vary in relation to time-specific variables. Few investigators have examined time-specific patterns of nest survival in Neotropical birds, and most such studies have focused on tropical and subtropical species. To better understand agerelated patterns of nest survival, we studied nest survival of R...
متن کاملModeling heterogeneity in nest survival data.
Current statistical methods for estimating nest survival rates assume that nests are identical in their propensity to succeed. However, there are several biological reasons to question this assumption. For example, experience of the nest builder, number of nest helpers, genetic fitness of individuals, and site effects may contribute to an inherent disparity between nests with respect to their d...
