Raptors are limited by suitable breeding habitat, and they have specific nest-site
requirements. Habitats of high quality presumably have the resources required to sustain …

We explored nest site placement and re-use relative to ornamental tree usage and
urbanization level in a diurnal raptor community in southern California (USA) during three …

Physical characteristics of nest sites are thought to influence their use by birds and the
outcome of breeding attempts. The presence of preexisting nesting structures can also be an …

Many animals build new nests every breeding season instead of saving time by reusing old
ones. One hypothesis is that nest reuse leads to increased predation risk if predators …

'Based on many years of personal research, and a thorough knowledge of the European
literature, the authors provide an eminently readable account of the biology of the Common …

Biodiversity hotspots at a small scale: the importance of eagles’ nests to many other animals

Modelling territorial occupancy and reproductive success is a key issue for better
understanding the population dynamics of territorial species. This study aimed to investigate …

Intraguild (IG) predation and interspecific competition may affect the settlement and success
of species in their habitats. Using data on forest-dwelling hawks from Finland, we addressed …

Constructing nests costs birds time and energy and may influence breeding success and
productivity. The precise nature and extent of these costs is understudied, particularly …

Natural nest sites are important breeding resource in terms of population dynamics,
especially in forest systems where nest trees limit populations or timber harvesting destroys …
