With the increasing popularity of remote photography in wildlife research, a large variety of
equipment and methods is available to researchers. To evaluate advantages and …

Artificial nest experiments have been used in approximately 80 recent studies to identify a
wide range of factors influencing reproductive success of birds. Despite the same factors …

The use of model caterpillars to assess relative rates of predation has risen in popularity in
recent years. Among the various benefits of the technique is its capacity to provide …

Nest fates, causes of nest failure, and identities of nest predators are difficult to determine for
grassland passerines. We developed a miniature video-camera system for use in …

The black rat, roof rat, or ship rat (Rattus rattus L.) is among the most widespread invasive
vertebrates on islands and continents, and it is nearly ubiquitous on Pacific islands from the …

Nest predation is an important factor in the ecology of passerines and can be a large source
of mortality for birds. I provide an overview of factors affecting nest predation of passerines in …

This study examined predator faunas of artificial ground and shrub nests and whether nest
predation risk was influenced by nest site, proximity to forest edge, and habitat structure in …

We used video cameras over 5 years to quantify causes of mortality at 172 nests of three
species of ground-nesting birds that nest on braided riverbeds of the Upper Waitaki Basin …

I present reasons that preclude the identification of nest predators from nest remains: inter-
specific overlap and intra-specific variation in patterns of nest destruction, unexpected …

House mice Mus musculus have successfully colonized many temperate and sub-Antarctic
islands that are the location for breeding colonies of millions of seabirds. Unlike other …
