Climate change and urbanisation are among the most pervasive and rapidly growing threats
to biodiversity worldwide. However, their impacts are usually considered in isolation, and …

Avian nests are crucial to reproduction as they are the site for incubation of the clutch of
eggs and, in many cases, it is the location for the rearing of chicks hatched. Despite many …

The creation of supplementary habitats that effectively mimic the physical and thermal
characteristics of natural tree hollows should be a key priority for landscape restoration and …

Urbanisation is a major anthropogenic perturbation presenting novel ecological and
evolutionary challenges to wild populations. Symbiotic microorganisms residing in the …

Tree hollow scarcity is a threat to cavity-dependent vertebrate wildlife world-wide across
many landscapes. Currently, only nest boxes are commonly used to mitigate or offset lost …

Artificial boxes are commonly used in studies of cavity‐dwelling animals of various taxa. One
advantage of nest boxes is that cameras can be used to monitor animals inside the cavity …

The ecological importance of tree hollows relies on environmental factors that influence
microhabitat requirements for wildlife. Thus, the value of hollows as thermal microhabitats …

Artificial nest boxes are placed to attract birds to nest and breed in a specific location, and
they are widely used in avian ecology research and in the attraction of insectivorous birds …

Nests are a critically important factor in determining the breeding success of many species of
birds. Nevertheless, we have surprisingly little understanding of how the local environment …

Animals breeding in nest‐boxes experience nesting environments in which they did not
originally evolve. Despite the central importance of nesting microclimate for offspring fitness …
