• Differences in Predators of Artificial and Real Songbird Nests: Evidence of Bias in Artificial Nest Studies (2004, methodology): “We used the methods of Mayfield (1961, 1975) and Johnson (1979) to calculate daily predation and recommendations by Johnson (1979) and Manolis et al. (2000) for calculating exposure days.”
• Critical Demographic Parameters for Declining Songbirds Breeding in Restored Grasslands (2006, methodology): “To minimize problems of assigning uncertain nest fates (Manolis et al. 2000), we considered nests successful and stopped counting nest exposure days if at least 1 host nestling remained in the nest at day 7–8 (approx 1 day before the earliest fledging dates for these species; Martin and Gavin 1995,…”
• Review and Meta-Analysis of Camera Effects on Avian Nest Success (2009, result): “…include a subset of control nests where cameras are not deployed; 8) avoid long-term, persistent use of camera surveillance in individual study areas (Renfrew and Ribic 2003); 9) report DSR, nest cycle lengths, and exposure days for comparison with other studies (Manolis et al. 2000, Johnson 2002).”
• Variation in top‐down control of avian reproductive success across a fragmentation gradient (2003, methodology): “Accordingly, when calculating Mayfield indices, we employed the Last Active-B method described by Manolis et al. (2000). In essence, this method uses the midpoint between the last date a nest was active and the first date it was inactive for nests with the fate known and the last date a nest was act”
• NESTING ECOLOGY OF MIXED-GRASS PRAIRIE SONGBIRDS IN SOUTHERN SASKATCHEWAN (2003, background): “For nests whose fates were uncertain, I included exposure days only up to the last visit that the nest was active (Manolis et al. 2000).”
• Patterns of Nest Predation on Artificial and Natural Nests in Forests (2004, methodology): “A distance of 15 m between nests has been used in many other artificial nest studies (Rudnicky & Hunter 1993; Willson et al. 2000 [year 1]; Manolis et al. 2000a [experiment 1]; DeSanto & Willson 2001).”
• The UK Nest Record Scheme: its value for science and conservation (2003, background): “However, data from that nest for earlier observation periods should not be excluded, as simulation studies have shown that this will increase the bias in the Mayfield estimates (Manolis et al. 2000).”
