• Video monitoring of shrub-nests reveals nest predators (2004, background): “Faced with these limitations, researchers have recently used video cameras to identify the predators of passerine species in various habitats (Brown et al. 1998, Thompson et al. 1999, Pietz & Gransfors 2000, Liebezeit & George 2002).”
• TIME-SPECIFIC VARIATION IN PASSERINE NEST SURVIVAL: NEW INSIGHTS INTO OLD QUESTIONS (2005, background): “Analysis of videotapes from camera-monitored nests (Pietz and Granfors 2000) showed that Clay-colored Sparrows increase their frequency of nest visits from early to late incubation (P. J. Pietz unpubl. data).”
• Viability of an endangered population of ortolan buntings: The effect of a skewed operational sex ratio (2006, background): “…several studies of both grassland and forest-breeding birds in North America (Anders et al., 1997; King et al., 1996; Porneluzi and Faaborg, 1999; Pietz and Granfors, 2000; Herkert et al., 2003), and losses up to 80–90% is typical of many neotropical migrants occupying fragmented, urban, or…”
• Predators of Greater Sage-Grouse nests identified by video monitoring (2008, methodology): “We identified nest predators and recorded predator and grouse behavior using continuously recording video-monitoring systems (Pietz and Granfors 2000).”
• 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).”
• SURVIVAL OF POSTFLEDGING GRASSLAND BIRDS IN MISSOURI (2007, background): “For example, Pietz and Granfors (2000) did not detect snakes at any of the video-monitored nests in their study, but Renfrew and Ribic (2003) reported that three of 24 predation events at grassland bird nests in Wisconsin were associated with snake species, including fox snakes and garter snakes.”
• Video identification of predators at Golden-cheeked Warbler nests (2004, methodology): “Video has recently been used to monitor bird nests (e.g., Brown et al. 1998; Thompson et al. 1999; McQuillen and Brewer 2000; Pietz and Granfors 2000).”
