Change in the size of populations over space and time is, arguably, the motivation for much
of pure and applied ecological research. The fundamental model for the dynamics of any …

Nest predation is the main cause of nest failure for ducks. Understanding how habitat
features influence predator movements may facilitate management of upland and wetland …

Harvest of wild organisms is an important component of human culture, economy, and
recreation, but can also put species at risk of extinction. Decisions that guide successful …

Nest survival is determined in part by a combination of large-scale environmental factors
and local nest-site characteristics. Because predation is the primary cause of nest failure …

Nest survival plays an important role in avian demography because of its influence on both
individual fitness and population growth. It is also known to vary within species due to local …

Mammalian predator foraging behavior is an important, but understudied determinant of
avian nest success. Predator behavior may also affect the nest-site selection decisions of …

Over the past decade, the United States has seen a rapid increase in oil and gas extraction
from areas where resources were previously thought to be unrecoverable, particularly the …

A large part of the variation in bird reproductive success is often explained by nest predation.
Many studies report negative relationships between breeding density and reproductive …

Birds should select nest sites that minimize predation risk, but understanding the influence of
vegetation on nest survival has proven problematic. Specifically, the common practice of …
