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).”
Patterns of Nest Predation on Artificial and Natural Nests in Forests (2004, background): “…the theory emerging from artificial nest experiments is well founded (Storaas 1988; Willebrand & Marcstrom 1988; Ortega et al. 1998; Seiving & Willson 1998; Sloan et al. 1998; Wilson et al. 1998; Farnsworth & Simons 1999; King et al. 1999; Davison & Bollinger 2000; Weidinger 2001b; Zanette 2002).”
Differences in Predators of Artificial and Real Songbird Nests: Evidence of Bias in Artificial Nest Studies (2004, background): “Other researchers comparing artificial and real nests have inferred that potential biases exist with artificial nests (Wilson et al. 1998; Davison & Bollinger 2000; Zanette 2002; Burke et al. 2004), but because they did not directly identify predators at both nest types, they could only speculate…”
Predation rate on artificial nests increases with human housing density in suburban habitats (2003, background): “Predation rates on artificial nests have been used to infer predation on natural passerine nests, but increasing doubt exists if such comparisons are viable (Wilson et al. 1998, Butler and Rotella 2000, Davison and Bollinger 2000, Weidinger 2001).”
MIXED-GRASS PRAIRIE PASSERINES EXHIBIT WEAK AND VARIABLE RESPONSES TO PATCH SIZE (2006, background): “…conducted in arid and semiarid prairies have relied on artifi cial nests to examine fragmentation eff ects on grassland birds (Pasitschniak-Arts and Messier 1995, Howard et al. 2001) and, thus, may not refl ect predation rates or pa erns of real nests (Paton 1994, Davison and Bollinger 2000).”
Habitat Fragmentation Effects on Birds in Grasslands and Wetlands: A Critique of our Knowledge (2001, background): “Several studies (e.g., Burger et al. 1994; Pasitschniak-Arts and Messier 1995; Davison 1998) used artificial nests to evaluate effects of patch size and distance to edge on the survival of nests.”
Understanding avian nest predation: why ornithologists should study snakes (2004, unknown): “nests (Table 1), snakes appear to be under-represented as predators of artificial nests (Davison and Bollinger 2000).”
Nest height, nest concealment, and predator type predict nest predation in superb fairy-wrens (Malurus cyaneus) (2009, background): “Predation level at artificial nests was lower than at natural nests, which contradicts the results of other studies comparing predation outcome between natural and artificial nests (Wilson and Brittingham 1998; King et al. 1999) (but see Martin 1987; Roper 1992; Davidson and Bollinger 2000 ).”
RECENT ADVANCES IN GRASSLAND BIRD RESEARCH: WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? (2001, background): “…productivity in CRP fields can be fairly high (e.g. Berthelsen and Smith 1995, Patterson and Best 1996, Delisle and Savidge 1997, McCoy et al. 1999, Davison and Bollinger 2000) despite their generally small Downloaded From: https://bioone.org/journals/The-Auk on 20 Mar 2020 Terms of Use:…”
Fearing the feline: domestic cats reduce avian fecundity through trait-mediated indirect effects that increase nest predation by other species (2013, background): “…by a combination of signs including beak, bite and scrape marks on offspring, the presence of predator droppings and whether the nest was left intact or damaged; damaged nests indicating mammalian predation (Davison & Bollinger 2000; Lyver 2000; Currie et al. 2005; Mason, Desmond & Agudelo 2005).”
