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 ...
Tree-cavity nesting records of the American kestrel (Falco sparverius) in two Andean forest sites of southern Chile
(2021)
El cernícalo americano (Falco sparverius) nidifica en cavidades o pequeños agujeros protegidos, inclu yendo oquedades de árboles (excavadas o producidas por descomposición), galerías en paredes rocosas o arenosas, entretechos ...
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 ...
Are ecosystem engineers keystone habitat providers for secondary cavity nesters in temperate forests of South America?
(2021)
Ecosystem engineers influence resource availability for other organisms, and thus they play important roles as drivers of community assembly. We investigated the relationship between nest occurrence of secondary cavity ...
Nestling mortality as a consequence of interspecific competition between secondary cavity nesters in the sub-antarctic forests of chile.
(2015)
Interspecific competition among secondary cavity nesters can involve physical conflicts between individuals, which may lead to serious injuries or death. Here we report a case of aggression by a pair of Chilean Swallows ...
Nest niche overlap among the endangered Vinaceous-breasted Parrot (Amazona vinacea) and sympatric cavity-using birds, mammals, and social insects in the subtropical Atlantic Forest, Argentina
(Cooper Ornithological Society, 2017-01-18)
Many forest bird species require tree cavities for nesting, and share this resource with a diverse community of animals. When cavities are limited, niche overlap can result in interspecific competition, with negative ...
Nest-site fidelity and cavity reoccupation by Blue-fronted Parrots Amazona aestiva in the dry Chaco of Argentina
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2009-12)
The frequency of cavity reoccupation in secondary cavity nesters depends on several factors including quality of cavities, degree of nest-site fidelity, competition with other cavity nesters and availability of new cavities. ...
