Nest-site Selection and Nesting Success of Cavity-nesting Birds in High Elevation Forest Drainages
ABssAcr.-We identified habitat features that characterized successful and unsuccessful nest sites, nest sites vs. random sites, and differences among coexisting species of cavitynesting birds for 356 nests in central Arizona. Live and, more commonly, dead quaking aspens (Populus tremuloides) were used for 88% of all nest sites, but aspens constituted only 12% of all trees in random plots (n = 1...
متن کاملCan selection on nest size from nest predation explain the latitudinal gradient in clutch size?
1. Latitudinal variation in clutch sizes of birds is a well described, but poorly understood pattern. Many hypotheses have been proposed, but few have been experimentally tested, and none have been universally accepted by researchers. 2. The nest size hypothesis posits that higher nest predation in the tropics favours selection for smaller nests and thereby constrains clutch size by shrinking a...
متن کاملDoes nest-site selection influence bobwhite nesting success in’south Florida?
Context. Nest-site selection can influence nesting success, and thus population dynamics, of many species of groundnesting birds. Despite the economic importance as a game species, populations of northern bobwhites have been declining throughout the southernUnited States. This paper reports the nesting ecology of northern bobwhites (Colinus virginianus) on Babcock-Webb Wildlife Management Area,...
متن کاملNest Predation and Nest-site Selection of a Western Population of the Hermit
Audubon’s Hermit Thrushes (Cutharus guttatus auduboni) in central Arizona have a low nesting success (7 to 20%) due almost exclusively to nest predation. We examine the sites chosen for nesting and compare them to nonuse sites randomly selected within the vegetation types associated with nests. Hermit Thrush nest sites differ from nonuse sites primarily in that nest sites have more small (lto 3...
متن کاملDirecting Nest Site Selection of Least Terns and Piping Plovers
—Endangered Interior Least Terns ( Sterna antillarum athalassos ) and threatened Piping Plovers ( Charadrius melodus ) nest in Nebraska at gravel mines where they are vulnerable to disturbance and nest loss. Conflicts occur when their nesting and protected status delay mining activities. The possibility of shifting nesting from active to inactive mining areas by using a deterrent (mylar flaggin...
