Buildings promote higher incubation temperatures and reduce nest attentiveness in a Neotropical thrush
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2020-07-09)
Incubation is an energetically costly parental task of breeding birds. Incubating parents respond to environmental variation and nest-site features to adjust the balance between the time spent incubating (i.e. nest ...
Anthropogenic nesting sites allow urban breeding in burrowing parrots Cyanoliseus patagonusSitios de nidificación de origen antrópico permiten la reproducción del loro barranquero Cyanoliseus patagonus en medios urbanos
(Sociedad Española de Ornitología, 2014-12)
How birds adapt to urban life is a key question in evolutionary and conservation biology since urbanisation is one of the major causes of habitat loss worldwide. Some species are able to deal with these anthropogenic changes ...
Female neophobia predicts the use of buildings as nesting sites in a Neotropical songbird
(2022-01-01)
Neophobia (i.e. the degree of avoidance to novel situations) is a personality trait that may predict the ability to exploit new resources, which potentially affects the success of settlement of urban animal populations. ...
First evidence of anthropogenic debris in nests of the Kelp Gull (Larus dominicanus) from a small semi-desert Argentinean coastal ecosystem
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2021-09)
Here, we present the first findings of anthropogenic debris (AD) used as nest material by the Kelp Gull (Larus dominicanus) on a small semi-desert coastal ecosystem in northern Argentine Patagonia. Anthropogenic debris was ...
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 ...

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 ...
Breeding biology of the Sayaca Tanager (Thraupis sayaca) in southeast Brazil
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2019-10-26)
Thraupis is a genus of the American endemic Thraupidae (subfamily Thraupinae), comprising seven species that inhabit tropical forests to urban centres. The Sayaca Tanager (Thraupis sayaca) is a disturbance-tolerant species ...
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 ...
