There are times when birds reproduce at higher rates in places where they are less
abundant, limiting the generally accepted value of bird counts as environmental indicators …

Aim Globally, many bird species nest in tree cavities that are either excavated or formed
through decay or damage processes. We assembled an overview of all tree‐cavity nesters …

Despite extensive research, policies, and practical efforts to improve college readiness in
the United States, a large proportion of low-income students remain unprepared to enter and …

Nest boxes are a popular management tool to increase nest site availability for hole-nesting
birds, but biological consequences of this technique in different habitats are poorly studied …

Widespread in North American forest regions including the Rocky Mountains, the Boreal Owl
(Aegolius funereus) was once the most numerous predatory bird in Eurasian boreal forests …

Assumptions that populations of cavity‐nesting birds are limited by access to nest sites have

Resource selection plasticity and behavioral dominance may influence the ability of a
species to respond to changes in resource availability, particularly if dominant species have …

Among birds, breeding numbers are mainly limited by two resources of major importance:
food supply and nest-site availability. Here, we investigated how differences in land-use and …
