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...

TOWARDS A SPECTRAL VIEW OF SOUND ACQUISITION: LEARNING HARMONIC STRUCTURE FROM TONE SEQUENCES Psyche Loui (Harvard Medical School) e-mail: [email protected] Humans of all cultures and ages demonstrate some implicit knowledge of musical rules and structures, yet how these structures are acquired is yet unknown. In investigating how musical knowledge is acquired, one approach that might off...
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 کاملIdentification of nest predators: a sampling perspective
Videotaping is currently recognized as the most reliable method of predator identification at active bird nests but it is relatively expensive and labour intensive. While the number of published studies has increased over the past 10 years, the mean sample size is not increasing. Thirty-one case studies (n 5 events) reported 6 70 (median 22) predation events by 2 14 (6) species of predators. Th...
متن کاملIdentification of Sprague's Pipit Nest Predators
Nest predation is the primary factor influencing grassland songbird reproductive success. Understanding factors driving spatial and temporal variation in nest survival requires that we identify the primary nest predators and factors influencing predator abundance and behavior. Predation events are rarely witnessed, and the identification of nest predators is inferred, often incorrectly, from ne...
