Effects of Nest Characteristics on Breeding Success of Great Tits Parus major (2003, background): “The functions of the nest related to the stabilization of nest physical environment and the minimization of nest predation seem likely to combine with the sanitary and anti-parasitic function (Heeb et al. 2000).”
The Design of Artificial Nestboxes for the Study of Secondary Hole-Nesting Birds: A Review of Methodological Inconsistencies and Potential Biases (2010, background): “…box was constructed, such as preservatives (e.g. Janzen 1978, Balandrin et al. 1985, Chapuisat et al. 2007, Sipponen et al. 2009, Blondel et al. 2010), and that invertebrate communities in the nest may influence avian life-history traits (e.g. Sengupta 1981, Heeb et al. 2000, Mennerat et al. 2009).”
Roosting habits of bats affect their parasitism by bat flies (Diptera: Streblidae) (2007, background): “Yet variation in parasitic lifehistory traits may result from the parasites’ abilities to perceive and respond to a larger set of environmental variables than simply the host (Heeb et al. 2000).”
Effects of temperature and nest heat exposure on nestling growth, dehydration and survival in a Mediterranean hole‐nesting passerine (2014, background): “Climatic conditions can also indirectly affect nestlings via their effects on nest parasites (Heeb et al. 2000).”
Microclimate in tree cavities and nest-boxes: implications for hole-nesting birds (2017, background): “…the drier and warmer environment of nest-boxes may foster the occurrence 368 and development of flea larvae in bird nests (Eeva et al., 1994; Heeb et al., 2000), facilitating 369 flea infestations in nest-boxes but explaining the low occurrence of these ectoparasites in 370 tree cavities…”
