Causes and consequences of nest mass and structure variation in the Bay-capped Wren-spinetail Spartonoica maluroides
(Museum & Inst Zoology, 2017-07)
Bay-capped Wren-Spinetail Spartonoica maluroides (Furnariidae) nests very close to the ground in dense clumps of grasses or sedges and builds both open and enclosed nest. We describe a proportion and characteristics of ...
Nest thermoregulation in Polybia scutellaris (White) (Hymenoptera: Vespidae)
(Sociedade Entomológica do Brasil, 2010)
Polybia scutellaris (White) builds large nests characterized by numerous spiny projections on the surface. In order to determine whether or not the nest temperature is maintained because of homeothermic conditions of the ...
How Nest Site Characteristics Influence Breeding Success in Red-legged Cormorants Phalacrocorax gaimardi
(Polish Academy of Sciences. Museum and Institute of Zoology, 2018-01)
For seabirds, nest site features are an important factor that determines reproductive success. During three breeding seasons (2010-2012), we visited two coastal cliff colonies of Red-legged Cormorants halacrocorax gaimardi ...
Artificial covering on trap nests improves the colonization of trap-nesting wasps
(2008)
To evaluate the role that a trap-nest cover might have on sampling methodologies, the abundance of each species of trap-nesting Hymenoptera and the parasitism rate in a Canadian forest were compared between artificially ...
Nest-mate recognition in Manuelia postica (Apidae: Xylocopinae): An eusocial trait is present in a solitary bee
(Royal Society, 2008)
In eusocial Hymenoptera, females are more tolerant towards nest-mate than towards non-nest-mate females. In solitary Hymenoptera, females are generally aggressive towards any conspecific female. Field observations of the ...
Influence of logging on nest density and nesting microsites of cavity-nesting birds in the subtropical forests of the Andes
(Oxford University Press, 2021-06)
Birds select nesting sites with certain characteristics associated with tree age and species that help to prevent or reduce the risk of clutch loss due to predation or unfavourable weather conditions. Logging may reduce ...
Nest Survival and Predation in Blue-Fronted Parrots Amazona aestiva: Effects of Nesting Behaviour and Cavity Characteristics
(Nederlandse Ornithologische Unie, 2016-10)
In this study we analyse factors affecting nest survival in Blue-fronted Parrots Amazona aestiva breeding in the Chaco region of northern Argentina. We combined temporal and environmental variables in order to determine ...
Nesting biology of four Tetrapedia species in trap-nests (Hymenoptera:Apidae:Tetrapediini)
