Extrapair Paternity and Sexual Selection in Socially Monogamous Birds: Are Tropical Birds Different? (2008, result): “…of 18 bird species in montane forest in Argentina found that the average breeding-season duration was only 50 days, which is comparable to that of many northern temperate birds (Auer et al�� 2007)�� The broad range of habitats and species found in the tropics highlights the error of attempting…”
Cavity characteristics, but not habitat, influence nest survival of cavity-nesting birds along a gradient of human impact in the subtropical Atlantic Forest (2015, background): “There is some evidence that overall avian nest success declines toward the humid tropics (Ricklefs, 1969; Robinson et al., 2000; Remeš et al., 2012) but this may not be a general pattern (Oniki, 1979; Auer et al., 2007) and there is no evidence that it holds for cavity-nesters.”
Enclosed nests may provide greater thermal than nest predation benefits compared with open nests across latitudes (2017, background): “1U.S. Geological Survey, Montana Cooperative Wildlife Research Unit, University of Montana, Missoula, MT 59812, USA; 2Montana Cooperative Wildlife Research Unit, University of Montana, Missoula, MT 59812, USA; and 3Sabah”
