Effects of bark beetle outbreaks on avian biodiversity in the British Columbia interior: Implications for critical habitat management (2006, background): “• had an opening slightly larger than the body size of the bird; • were 25–40 cm deep; and • were generally located low on the tree (average height of 4–5 m) (Figure 8; Aitken et al. 2002; Martin et al. 2004a).”
Consequences of nest reuse for parasite burden and female health and condition in blue tits, Cyanistes caeruleus (2007, background): “Research on the costs of nest reuse is central to understanding the population ecology and evolution of cavity-nesting birds (Møller & Erritzøe 1996; Aitken et al. 2002).”
The importance of excavators in hole-nesting communities: availability and use of natural tree holes in old mixed forests of western Canada (2007, unknown): “Because these holes are often excavated in live trees or those in the earliest stages of decay, these holes may persist for several years to over 30 years (Aitken et al. 2002; Wesołowski, this issue).”
Lessons from long-term hole-nester studies in a primeval temperate forest (2007, background): “year (Aitken et al. 2002; Aitken and Martin 2004).”
Nest cavity availability and selection in aspenconifer groves in a grassland landscape (2004, background): “On Becher’s Prairie, northern flickers occupy two cavitynester guilds as they excavate cavities but are also secondary users of existing cavities (Aitken et al. 2002).”
