Abstract:

Abstract Researchers have suggested that Brown-headed Cowbirds (Molothrus ater) destroy nest contents of potential hosts to induce renesting and thus enhance future opportunities for parasitism. Although cowbird destruction of passerine nests has been witnessed and surmised, few data are available on frequency of those events. We used miniature video-cameras at nests of grassland passerines and documented partial or complete destruction of eggs or nestlings by cowbirds at 7 of 132 nests monitored with cameras. At least three of the seven cases appeared to be attempts to totally destroy the nes

Abstract:

In a field population of Gasterosteus aculeatus, analysis of the patterns of nest destruction following removal of males indicated that nest site variables per se offered little protection against egg predation in the absence of paternal defense. These experiments also indicated that male breeding densities were not limited by a lack of space for territories. We suggest that site quality and male quality, which is determined in part by the quality of parental defense, interact to determine the number of eggs a male can hatch.

Abstract Reproductive suppression, whereby individuals decrease the reproductive output of conspecific rivals, is well-studied in mammals, but while it is suspected to be widespread in birds, evidence of this phenomenon remains rare in this class. Here we provide compelling evidence of reproductive suppression in the Superb Lyrebird (Menura novaehollandie), with the first audio-visual documentation of the destruction of one female’s nest by another. We propose that nest destruction may be a strategy that females use in protracted territorial negotiations spanning multiple breeding seasons, and

In 2013 it was officially reported in Italy, in the region Liguria, near the border with France. In three years it invaded the whole province of Imperia and it was occasionally reported also in the South Western of Piedmont and in one locality in South Eastern Piedmont.

SummaryThe declining-population paradigm holds that small populations are particularly vulnerable to anthropogenic influences such as habitat destruction, pollution and species introductions. While the effects of particular stressors, such as parasitism, may be unimportant in a large, healthy population, they can be serious and even devastating in situations characterised by a restricted geographic range, or by fragmented or reduced population sizes. We apply this idea to nest parasitism of threatened Neotropical bird species that exist in small populations, focusing on dipteran nest parasites

Rose-ringed parakeet (P. krameri) is commonly found native psittacid in Pakistan. It is most popular companion bird in Pakistan. It is an unprotected species as per The Punjab Wildlife Act, 1974. The objectives of the present study were to study its population paradigm and basic nesting biology in the Gujar Khan, Punjab, Pakistan. Previously, no studies were carried out to assess its live and vacant nest cavities, nesting site, nest height, cavity position on substrate, and potential roosts in the area. Moreover, this study also assesses the potential threats and factors in this area and conse

Abstract:

Abstract The population of Saker Falcon (Falco cherrug) in Bulgaria suffered dramatic decline during the 20th century due to habitat destruction, nest robbery, illegal killing, poisoning, electrocution and other threats. The last well documented successful breeding of the species dates back to 1997. In 2011 a reintroduction program with captive-bred Saker Falcons was launched in Bulgaria to recover the species. Here, we present recent breeding records of Saker Falcons in three breeding territories in south Bulgaria. For the period 2017–2023, we recorded 7 breeding attempts in which 15 nestling

Abstract:

Many birds regard partitioning feeding and breeding resources as a strategy to escape competition and co-occurring breeding species. During the breeding season, breeding requirements are essential, yet the patterns and drivers of segregation between and within populations are poorly understood. We monitored the habitat use and chronology of the four co-occurring passerines Eurasian Blackbird, European Greenfinch, Common Chaffinch, and European Serin to examine levels of habitat partitioning and success rates during the breeding season. We recorded nesting sites, nest supports, nest placement,

Abstract Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease characterized by the selective destruction of insulin secreting beta cells present in the islets of Langerhans. A large body of evidence has implicated T cells as the predominant mediators of beta cell destruction leading to T1D development. The goal of our research is to develop a system for isolation and characterization of diabetogenic CD4+ T cells from the peripheral blood of early onset T1D patients. We were able to obtain a blood sample from a treatment-naïve T1D patient at the time of diagnosis. Through a novel multiplex-nest PCR p

The existence of the weaver ant in natural habitat is now reduced due to the destruction of habitats caused by humans. To preserve the existence of weaver ant in nature needs to be studied bioecology as the purpose of this research is to know the characteristics of habitus and environment of weaver ants nest in Bandar Lampung.

Abstract:

Nests play a crucial role in the bird life cycle by providing a safe space for egg-laying, incubation, and chick-rearing, protecting them from predators and harsh environmental conditions. However, habitat destruction due to deforestation, urbanization, and agricultural expansion is making it increasingly difficult for many bird species to find suitable nesting sites. This study seeks to explore avian preferences for artificial nests constructed from diverse natural materials and assess their efficacy in offering appropriate nesting locations. A total of 118 artificial nests were constructed u

Abstract:

The Blue-and-yellow macaw (Ara ararauna) is a charismatic and easily recognized species. While they are classified as being of “least concern” in the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List, their populations are declining. In Brazil, the accelerated destruction of one of its key habitats, the Cerrado biome, is a principal cause of their decreasing abundance. As with other species affected by loss of the Cerrado, active conservation measures are required. While usually rare in urban ecosystems, Ara ararauna occurs and breeds in small numbers in the city of Rondonópolis,

Abstract Grazing of domestic livestock on public lands in the western United States is a major source of habitat destruction. I quantified nest success of ground-nesting Dark-eyed Juncos (Junco hyemalis) breeding in ponderosa pine forests and pine savanna in the Kaibab National Forest of northern Arizona. Comparison of results for areas grazed by cattle to results for immediately adjacent areas protected from grazing revealed that cattle grazing was associated with a dramatic (75%) reduction in nest success. Cattle grazing reduced vegetation cover over nests by an average of 41%, exposing the

Abstract:

Corn bunting Emberiza calandra is a UK red-listed species that requires significant conservation effort within agricultural landscapes to maintain populations. Its preference for nesting in cereal fields and other crops puts it at considerable risk from farming operations. In North East Scotland, where most cereals are spring-sown and nesting attempts in May and June are often in the taller denser swards of grass silage fields, nest destruction during mowing is a major problem. Delayed mowing increases nest survival rates, but also lowers the quality of forage so has limited uptake in agri-env
