Predators and the breeding bird: behavioral and reproductive flexibility under the risk of predation (2009, background): “…Philosophical Society Studies using artificial nests usually show that better concealment does lead to lower predation (Martin, 1992a; see also Weidinger, 2002; Remeš, 2005), but studies using natural variation in nest concealment often show no such effect (e.g. Götmark et al., 1995;…”
Predator-induced reductions in nest visitation rates are modified by forest cover and food availability (2008, background): “One difficulty in finding evidence in support of this hypothesis is that the relationship between parental activity and nest predation is dependent on multiple factors including: nest type, the parents’ capacity to deter predators, and the predator’s search behavior (Collias NE and Collias EC 1984; ”
Nest height, nest concealment, and predator type predict nest predation in superb fairy-wrens (Malurus cyaneus) (2009, background): “Rodents are considered important nest predators of passerine nests (Pietz and Granfors 2000; Maier and Degraaf 2001) and generally find well-concealed nests in the vegetation ( Weidinger 2002 ).”
Food availability affects diurnal nest predation and adult antipredator behaviour in song sparrows, Melospiza melodia (2006, background): “Increases in food availability that increase time spent on the nest at the egg stage are likely to have positive consequences by concealing the nest and its contents (Weidinger 2002).”
Effects of Exotic Habitat on Nesting Success, Territory Density, and Settlement Patterns in the Blackcap (Sylvia atricapilla ) (2003, background): “…pattern could be invoked (e.g., that arriving Blackcaps cue on food instead on foliage), concealment serves to deter nest predation in Blackcaps ( Hoi-Leitner et al. 1995; Weidinger 2002) and predation is the main cause of nest failure in this species ( Sell 1998; Weidinger 2000, 2002; this study).”
Increasing the Accuracy of Productivity and Survival Estimates in Assessing Landbird Population Status (2005, background): “…affect population productivity (Rodenhouse & Holmes 1992; Robinson et al. 1995; Arcese et al. 1996; Donovan et al. 1997; Woodworth 1999; Weidinger 2002; Smith & Moore 2003), and food availability and predation affect adult and juvenile survival (Conway et al. 1995; Sherry & Holmes…”
