Vulnerability of ground-nesting waterbirds to predation by invasive American mink in the Cape Horn Biosphere Reserve, Chile. (2009, background): “Those factors have been investigated separately or in combination, with artificial and/or natural nests, often with contradictory results (Major and Kendal, 1996).”
Nestling begging increases predation risk, regardless of spectral characteristics or avian mobbing (2009, background): “The predators that could be identified to species level were also those previously reported for bell miners in this region ( Major and Kendal 1996; Higgins et al. 2001).”
Testing ecological and behavioral correlates of nest predation (2007, background): “Additionally, our nests included egg sizes typical of eggs found in real nests and therefore did not limit our predator community (Major and Kendal 1996).”
Determining predator identity from attack marks left in model caterpillars: guidelines for best practice (2014, background): “E-mail: petah.low@sydney.edu.au 120 © 2014 The Netherlands Entomological Society Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata 152: 120–126, 2014 (Stuart et al., 2012), and birds (Major, 1991; Major et al., 1996; Major & Kendal, 1996).”
