• THE EFFECTS OF PATCH SHAPE ON INDIGO BUNTINGS: EVIDENCE FOR AN ECOLOGICAL TRAP (2005, background): “However, most evidence indicates that snakes, primarily the black rat snake (Elaphe obsoleta), had a disproportionate influence on nesting success, consistent with other open-habitat studies (e.g., Thompson and Burhans 2003).”
• VEGETATIVE AND FRUIT RESOURCES AS DETERMINANTS OF HABITAT USE BY MATURE-FOREST BIRDS DURING THE POSTBREEDING PERIOD (2007, background): “Extremely dense patches of low vegetation may both inhibit foraging movements by birds and provide cryptic locations for snakes, which are oft en abundant in early-successional habitats (Thompson and Burhans 2003).”
• EDGE AVOIDANCE BY NESTING GRASSLAND BIRDS: A FUTILE STRATEGY IN A FRAGMENTED LANDSCAPE (2005, background): “Knowledge of the predator community and the interaction of predator species with landscape features may help explain nest success pa erns (Larivière 2003, Thompson and Burhans 2003).”
• Testing ecological and behavioral correlates of nest predation (2007, background): “Although the predator community of artificial and real nests may not be the same for different nesting guilds or habitats (Thompson and Burhans 2003, 2004), this is unlikely in this system because of the limited predator community and the focus on a single habitat type.”
• Video identification of predators at Golden-cheeked Warbler nests (2004, background): “We did not observe raccoons (Procyon lotor) depredating nests, although they were common at our site (Carroll 1997) and have been widely implicated as a nest predator of other species (e.g., Hoffmann and Gottschang 1977; Wilcove 1985; Thompson and Burhans 2003).”
• Understanding avian nest predation: why ornithologists should study snakes (2004, background): “Coluber constrictor, ( Lampropeltis getulus, Thamnophis sp.) Thompson and Burhans 2003”
