Land-use intensification has led to a landscape mosaic that juxtaposes human-managed
and natural areas. In such human-dominated and heterogeneous landscapes, spillover …

Predation is the main cause of nest failure among birds and, therefore, a strong selective
agent. To fully understand patterns of nest predation, determining the identities of nest …

Edge effects are one of the most extensively studied ecological phenomena of the past 100
years. Despite the still-common perception that edge effects are overly complex and …

Rates of nest predation for birds vary between and within species across multiple spatial
scales, but we have a poor understanding of which predators drive such patterns. We video …

Edge effects in fragmented natural habitats may be exacerbated by intensive land use in the
surrounding landscape. Given that most managed systems have higher primary productivity …

Tropical forest understory birds are declining globally for unknown reasons, indicating an
urgent need to understand the causes. We review and synthesize studies investigating …

Predation is the leading cause of nest failure for many passerines and considerable effort is
devoted to identifying the habitat characteristics and management practices that influence …

Habitat loss and fragmentation reduce diversity of tropical bird communities, but the
predictability of how communities in fragments disintegrate over time remains unclear. We …

Landscape composition around bird nests can strongly influence nest predation, a major
cause of reproductive failure for many species. Understanding this relationship may improve …

A bstract Perturbations in ecological processes can occur when wildlife alter their
spatiotemporal activity patterns to avoid human activities that they perceive as a risk. Such …
