Tree cavity occupancy by nesting vertebrates across cavity age
(Wildlife Society, 2018-04)
Cavity-nesting birds and mammals exhibit species-specific nest-site selection for tree characteristics and cavity dimensions. Although trees and their cavities change as they age, with trees becoming softer and cavities ...
Tree-cavity survival for biodiversity in temperate forests of South America: A multi-scale approach
(Elsevier B.V., 2023)
© 2023 Elsevier B.V.Tree cavities are critical habitat attributes for a diversity of species that use them for reproduction and shelter. Worldwide, their availability has shown an intense decline in forests because of the ...
Lifetime productivity of tree cavities used by cavity‐nesting animals in temperate and subtropical forests
(Ecological Society of America, 2019-05)
Tree cavities are a critical multi-annual resource that can limit populations and structure communities of cavity-nesting vertebrates. We examined the regional and local factors influencing lifetime productivity (number ...
Gaps and Runs in Nest Cavity Occupancy: Cavity “Destroyers” and “Cleaners” Affect Reuse by Secondary Cavity Nesting Vertebrates
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2020-06)
Many animals require tree cavities for breeding and these sites may be reused by a diversity of secondary cavity nesters over a timespan of decades. It is unknown whether the reuse of holes changes their desirability as ...
Woodpeckers, decay, and the future of cavity-nesting vertebrate communities worldwide
(Ecological Society of America, 2011-09)
In forests worldwide, tree-cavity supply can limit populations of the 10-40% of bird and mammal species that require cavities for nesting or roosting. Conservation efforts aimed at cavity-using communities have often focused ...
Conserving nest trees used by cavity-nesting birds from endangered primary Atlantic forest to open farmland: Increased relevance of excavated cavities in large dead trees on farms
(Elsevier Science, 2020-11)
Understanding nest-site selection is critical to conserving tree-cavity-nesting wildlife, but nest-sites may vary across landscapes. We examine variation in the characteristics of trees and cavities used by cavity-nesting ...
Tree size and crown structure explain the presence of cavities required by wildlife in cool-temperate forests of South America
(Elsevier Science, 2021-08)
Maintenance of tree cavity supply is a global conservation priority for forest wildlife, which requires understanding the ecology and population dynamics of cavity-bearing trees. Explaining the occurrence of cavities in ...
Variation in the role of tree decay to promote cavity nester biodiversity in the World Wide Cavity Nest Web
(2014)
From a biodiversity perspective, much of the world is chronically short of tree decay, especiallyin human-influenced ecosystems. Yet over 1000 bird species globally depend on decay processesto form tree cavities to provide ...
Persistence and loss of tree cavities used by birds in the subtropical Atlantic Forest
(Elsevier Science, 2017-01-15)
An important goal for the conservation of tropical forest biodiversity is to maintain adequate supplies of tree cavities to support diverse communities of cavity-nesting and roosting vertebrates over the long term, especially ...
Linking fungi, trees, and hole-using birds in a Neotropical tree-cavity network: Pathways of cavity production and implications for conservation
(Elsevier Science, 2012-01)
In tropical forests and savannahs worldwide, hundreds of species of cavity-nesting vertebrates depend, for nesting and roosting, on the limited resource of tree cavities. These cavities are produced by avian excavators and ...
