• Nest predation in forest birds: influence of predator type and predator's habitat quality (2003, unknown): “Increased nest predation is expected after the introduction of non-native predators, particularly on islands (Atkinson 1985, Scott et al. 1986, Savidge 1987, Drake et al. 1989, Sieving 1992, Penloup et al. 1997, Martin et al. 2000) or after habitat changes favourable to generalist nest predators (Wi”
• Effects of landscape composition, habitat features, and nest distribution on predation rates of simulated turtle nests (2004, background): “The type of edge likely influences predator activity and thus rates of predation (Heske et al., 1999; Dijak and Thompson, 2000).”
• EDGE AVOIDANCE BY NESTING GRASSLAND BIRDS: A FUTILE STRATEGY IN A FRAGMENTED LANDSCAPE (2005, background): “Generalist predators saturate highly fragmented landscapes (Heske et al. 1999, Newton and Heske 2001), penetrating patch interiors and limiting edge eff ects.”
• Video monitoring of shrub-nests reveals nest predators (2004, result): “…and their behaviour The breeding success in this study corresponds with data from previous studies on Blackcaps (Stein 1974, Bairlein 1978, Bairlein et al. 1980, Barkow et al. 2001, Weidinger 2001) and is typical for small songbirds (Nice 1957, Heske et al. 1999, Davison & Bollinger 2000).”
• Nest Predation and Population Declines in Illinois Songbirds: a Case for Mesopredator Effects (2003, background): “This habitat conversion and the loss of top carnivores have allowed mesopredators, including raccoons, to flourish ( Engels & Sexton 1994; Pedlar et al. 1997; Heske et al. 1999), in turn creating a hostile landscape for songbirds (Askins 1995, 2000).”
