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”
Annual routines of non‐migratory birds: optimal moult strategies (2006, background): “…living under high seasonality is in accordance with the well-established empirical results on the differences in life history traits between tropical and 588 OIKOS 112:3 (2006) temperate birds (Skutch 1949, Lack 1968, Ricklefs 1969, 1980, Murray Jr. 1985, Martin 1996, Stutchbury and Morton 2001).”
Is There a Latitudinal Gradient in the Importance of Biotic Interactions (2009, result): “This result agrees with other studies employing direct observations of nesting success (Ricklefs 1969, Skutch 1949; but see Oniki 1979, Weso lowski & Tomia lojć 2005); however, additional tropical sites and species are needed to make this comparison more compelling.”
Adaptive phenotypic plasticity in an island songbird exposed to a novel predation risk (2008, background): “A reduction in nestling feeding is assumed to be an adaptive ecological and evolutionary strategy that reduces the risk of drawing the attention of visually oriented predators to the nest ( Skutch 1949; Ghalambor and Martin 2000, 2001, 2002; Martin et al. 2000).”
Nest predation research: recent findings and future perspectives (2015, background): “Avian ecology had focused on food limitation for a long period (Lack 1947; reviewed in Martin 1987, 1991), but a series of important papers championed the importance of predation (i.e. Moreau 1944; Skutch 1949; Martin 1988a, b, 1991, 1992, 1993a, b).”
Food availability affects diurnal nest predation and adult antipredator behaviour in song sparrows, Melospiza melodia (2006, background): “…increases in food availability could have positive effects by increasing time spent at the nest and decreasing begging behaviour, but it also may increase the number of parental feeding trips (Simons & Martin 1990) and the likelihood of the nest being discovered by a predator (Skutch 1949).”
Testing ecological and behavioral correlates of nest predation (2007, background): “This relationship could suggest that safe nest sites allow high rates of mate-feeding, which facilitates high nest attentiveness ( Skutch 1949, Martin and Ghalambor 1999, Martin et al. 2000a).”
IS SELECTIVELY HARVESTED FOREST AN ECOLOGICAL TRAP FOR OLIVE-SIDED FLYCATCHERS? (2007, background): “As a result, daily nest survival may decline from incubation to fledging as parents make more trips to the nest to provide food for their young (Skutch 1949, Martin et al. 2000).”
Predators and the breeding bird: behavioral and reproductive flexibility under the risk of predation (2009, background): “As suggested by Slagsvold (1982, 1984), if the success of a subsequent nesting attempt is directly related to the investment in the previous attempt, then breeding birds facing high nest predation levels should lay smaller clutches in any given nesting attempt in order to reserve resources for…”
