Enclosed nests may provide greater thermal than nest predation benefits compared with open nests across latitudes (2017, background): “1U.S. Geological Survey, Montana Cooperative Wildlife Research Unit, University of Montana, Missoula, MT 59812, USA; 2Montana Cooperative Wildlife Research Unit, University of Montana, Missoula, MT 59812, USA; and 3Sabah”
Cavity characteristics, but not habitat, influence nest survival of cavity-nesting birds along a gradient of human impact in the subtropical Atlantic Forest (2015, background): “Cavity-nesting birds may be able to increase their reproductive output by using a cavity with features that protect young from predators and inclement weather (Lack, 1948; Wesołowski, 2002; Wesołowski and Rowiński, 2012).”
Nest predation research: recent findings and future perspectives (2015, background): “Increased nest predation is expected to favour faster growth in evolutionary time (Lack 1948; Bosque and Bosque 1995; Martin 1995; Remeš and Martin 2002), and species with greater nest predation risk evolve faster growth and an associated reduction in provisioning rates (Martin et al. 2011).”
