Nest site availability may limit secondary cavity-nesters because they are unable to create their own cavities and thus are forced to use existing cavities. Nest boxes can help to overcome this limitation but they can ...

Nest predation is the primary cause of nest failure in passerines. In order to contribute to our understanding of how nest predators shape avian nesting ecology and life history traits, we report nest predator identity and ...

Documenting the adaptations of birds to live in urban areas is important in a context of an anthropogenically altered world where such areas may represent novel ecological opportunities for birds. Here I report on a nest ...

In birds, the selection of nesting sites and mates has a profound influence on the daily interactions of individuals. Both behaviours are energetically costly and time-consuming and can strongly affect the Darwinian fitness ...

Breeding populations of raptors are sometimes limited by nest-site availability and the use of nest boxes to bolster such populations is widespread. In the neotropical forest, little is known about the ecology of cavity-nesting ...
