Nest site selection by a neotropical swarm-founding wasp: seasonal alternation of nest orientation
(SPRINGER TOKYO, 2009)
Nest orientation in social insects has been intensively studied in warmer and cooler climates, particularly in the northern hemisphere. Previous studies have consistently shown that species subjected to these climatic ...
Effects of sun exposure and vegetation cover on Woodpecker nest orientation in subtropical forests of South America
(Springer Tokyo, 2019-09-11)
Variations in the orientation behavior of Woodpecker nests can be due to environmental factors such as latitude as well as local climate conditions. In this study, the orientations of dot-fronted Woodpecker nesting cavities ...
Nest Orientation in Closed Nests of Passeriformes across a Latitudinal Gradient in the Southern Neotropic
(Polish Academy of Sciences. Museum and Institute of Zoology, 2020-02)
Birds are expected to orient their nests non-randomly in order to avoid extreme thermal conditions that are known to affect their reproductive success. Considering the hypotheses that yearly mean temperature influences ...
Trends in closed nest entrance orientation of the Rufous Hornero Furnarius rufus along an altitudinal gradient in South America
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2020-02)
The orientation of the nest entrances of 464 nests of the Rufous Hornero Furnarius rufus were explored in relation to vegetation cover along an altitudinal gradient in Argentina. There was no correlation between altitude ...
Patterns of nest orientation in the Golden billed Saltator (Saltator aurantiirostris) in central Argentina
(Neotropical Ornithological Society, 2018-08-17)
In birds, nest location defines the microclimatic conditions for the development of eggs and nestlings. In general, direct solar radiation and wind are the main determinants of bird nest orientation patterns. In this study, ...
Bird nest orientation and local temperature: an analysis over three decades
(Ecological Society of America, 2020-03-07)
Different studies around the world have shown that the orientation of birds? nests depends on local climate variables such as temperature, wind, and rainfall (e.g. Facemire et al. 1990, Wiebe 2001, Burton 2007, Hartman and ...
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 ...
Effect of geographical latitude and sun exposure on Rufous Hornero (Furnarius rufus) nest orientationDer Einfluss der geographischen Breite und der Sonneneinstrahlung auf die Nestausrichtung bei Rosttöpfern (Furnarius rufus)
(Springer Verlag Berlín, 2018-06)
Bird nest orientation is affected by environmental variables determined by their geographical position as well as microclimatic conditions. In closed-cup-nesting species, nests may be oriented to avoid adverse environmental ...
From eggs to hatchlings: nest site taphonomy of american crocodile (Crocodylus acutus) and broad snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris)
(Society for Sedimentary Geology, 2017-10)
Nesting behaviors of extant vertebrates can serve as taphonomic models for interpreting extinct archosaurian reproduction. Past studies have examined birds with open nests and nest-bound young and tortoises with buried ...
Estudo de uma construção natural: o ninho do joão-de-barro (Furnarius rufus)
(Universidade Tecnológica Federal do ParanáCuritibaDepartamento Acadêmico de Construção Civil, 2014-04-11)
The ovenbird (Furnarius rufus) is one of the most common species of birds of Brazil and builds its nest shaped oven, divided into two compartments, using as base material the clay. Sick (1984), suggests that the orientation ...
