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 ...
Cavity characteristics, but not habitat, influence nest survival of cavity-nesting birds along a gradient of human impact in the subtropical Atlantic Forest
(Elsevier, 2015-04)
Cavity-nesting vertebrates are an important component of biodiversity in tropical and subtropical forests, but their persistence will increasingly depend on remnant trees in logged forest and agricultural areas. To identify ...
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 ...
Deciduous-forest bird communities in a fragmented landscape dominated by exotic pine plantations
(Ecological Society of America, 1999)
Impacts of habitat fragmentation on forest bird communities have often been studied in landscapes dominated by agriculture. The striking structural differences between forest fragments and the matrix have led most researchers ...
Artificial cavities and substrates for cavity-nesting birds in Neotropical urban environments: A novel resource or the last opportunity to breed?
(2021)
Urban development reduces the abundance of most natural resources for some birds but also provides new opportunities for others. One group that is more likely affected by urban development is the cavity-nesting species ...
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 ...
Conspecific effect on habitat selection of a territorial cavity-nesting bird
(Wilson Ornithological Society, 2014)
© 2014 by the Wilson Ornithological Society.The simulated presence of conspecifics has been proposed to attract territorial songbirds to protect nesting areas when the habitat is being disturbed by human activities. We ...
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 ...
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 ...
