Nests and nesting sites of Brazilian forest rodents (Nectomys squamipes and Oryzomys intermedius) as revealed by a spool-and-line device
(Polish Acad Sciences, 2001-09-01)
Patterns of nest construction and nest site selection of two murid rodents of the Brazilian Atlantic rainforest were described. The animals were captured in an area of about 1.5 ha of primary forest, marked, equipped with ...
Multiple factors associated with nest-site selection in a wetland-specialist, the Wren-like Rushbird (Phleocryptes melanops)
(Taylor & Francis, 2019-05)
Diverse factors may limit nest-site selection; however, nest predation has long been considered a main factor driving nest-site selection in birds. Marsh-nesting birds face a particularly important trade-off between habitat ...
Effects of temperature and time constraints on the seasonal variation in nest morphology of the Thorn tailed Rayadito (Aphrastura spinicauda)
(Taylor & Francis, 2017)
Environmental adjustment is the most invoked explanation for intra-seasonal variation in bird nest morphology. However, time constraints may also be important, coming as a trade-off between the costs of nest building and ...
Microhabitat nest cover effect on nest survival of the Red-Crested Cardinal
(Wilson Ornithological Society, 2012-09)
Predation is the primary cause of nest failure of birds and factors affecting predation risk have shaped the evolution of avian life histories. We evaluated the influence of microhabitat vegetation cover on Red-crested ...
Nesting biology and nest survival of the Grassland Sparrow (Ammodramus humeralis) in grazed grasslands of central-eastern Argentina
(Taylor & Francis, 2021-02)
Knowledge of the breeding biology of grassland birds is important given the accelerated rate of transformation of their habitats, which has led to noticeable population declines of many species. Although several species ...
External and internal structure of Atta bisphaerica Forel (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) nests
(2004-04-01)
This work was carried out to determine the internal and external structures of Atta bisphaerica (Forel) nests. Six nests were excavated and during excavation, all data referring to chambers and tunnels were recorded. Three ...
Nesting biology, life cycle, and interactions between females of Manuelia postica, a solitary species of the Xylocopinae (Hymenoptera: Apidae)
(2008)
The Xylocopinae contains four tribes with species which show a range of nesting habits, from solitary to social. The Manueliini is the sister group to all other Xylocopine tribes, with one genus, Manuelia, of three species ...
Nest Usurping Occurrence Of The Piratic Flycatcher (Legatus Leucophaius) In Southwestern Costa Rica
(2009)
El Mosquerito Pirata (Legatus leucophaius) roba nidos colgantes o en forma de domo hechos principalmente por tiranidos o icteridos, sin embargo la frecuencia con la cual este mosquero se roba los nidos de otras especies ...
Nesting biology of the Narrow-billed Woodcreeper (Lepidocolaptes angustirostris) in a southern temperate forest of central-east Argentina
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2019-05)
We present data on the nesting biology of the Narrow-billed Woodcreeper (Lepidocolaptes angustirostris) in a natural forest in central-east Argentina. A total of 18 nests were found during four breeding seasons (2015–2019; ...
Incubating Upland Goose (Chloephaga picta) differential response to livestock, human, and predator nest disturbanceRespuesta diferencial del Cauquén Común ( Chloephaga picta) a disturbios en los nidos causados por ganado, humanos y predadores
(BioOne, 2018-09)
The Upland Goose (Chloephaga picta) is a ground-nesting bird that has suffered a precipitous population decline in the last 60 years. We monitored Upland Goose nests with camera traps in Santa Cruz province, Argentina, to ...
