A review of the evidence for potential impacts of black rats (Rattus rattus) on wildlife and humans in Australia (2012, background): “Predators may be attracted to themorevisually conspicuous artificial human-placed nests, and the odours of clay or plasticine eggs may also attract predators (Bayne and Hobson 1999; Yahner et al. 2003; Burke et al. 2004; Rose and Banks 2007).”
Review and Meta-Analysis of Camera Effects on Avian Nest Success (2009, background): “Methods to infer predator identity using artificial nests are rife with their own biases (Willebrand and Marcström 1988, Major and Kendal 1996, Pärt and Wretenberg 2002, Burke et al. 2004, Thompson and Burhans 2004).”
Differences in Predators of Artificial and Real Songbird Nests: Evidence of Bias in Artificial Nest Studies (2004, background): “…levels of predation between the two types, with artificial nests typically experiencing the higher rates (Reitsma 1992; Wilson et al. 1998; King et al. 1999; Burke et al. 2004), although some have shown that artificial nests experience lower predation (Roper 1992; Davison & Bollinger 2000).”
