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 ...
An assessment of the availability of cavities for secondary cavity-nesting birds in certified and conventionally-logged neotropical rainforests
(Italian Society of Silviculture and Forest Ecology, 2020-05)
The high level of forest intervention and the decrease in biodiversity as a result of logging are incentives to implement forest certification schemes. Despite the advances in the results of the impact of forest certification ...
Identification of tree groups used by secondary cavity-nesting birds to simplify forest management in subtropical forests
(Northeast Forestry University, 2019-03)
In tropical and subtropical forest ecosystems, cavities formed by decay processes are a key but scarce resource for birds that nest and roost in them, which makes them a highly sensitive group to logging. The piedmont ...
Stand attributes and the abundance of secondary cavity-nesting birds in southern beech (Nothofagus) forests in south-central Chile
(2006)
The ecology of secondary cavity-nesting birds (SCN) has been a matter of great interest for many years throughout the world, in part because of the direct and strong relationship between the breeding biology of these species ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Birds in the web of life: ecology and conservation of nest webs worldwide
(2018)
Avian communities are comprised of species that interact locally, producing complex networks whose dynamics cannot always be understood or predicted from information at the population level. Globally, more than 1500 species ...
Interpopulation variation in nest architecture in a secondary cavity-nesting bird suggests site-specific strategies to cope with heat loss and humidity
(American Ornithological Society, 2017)
© 2017 American Ornithological Society. Nest morphology can affect the breeding success of birds. Thus, birds inhabiting different environments may experience divergent selection for nest structure and composition that ...
