Bird species around the world are threatened with extinction. In North America, aerial insectivores are experiencing particularly severe population declines. To conserve these species, we need to know which life stages have the largest influence on p

Data from the North American Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) suggest that populations of aerial insectivorous birds are declining, particularly in northeastern regions of the continent, and particularly since the mid-1980s. Species that use nest boxes, su

Cavity size, clutch-size and the breeding ecology of Tree Swallows Tachycineta bicolor

Autor: Raleigh J. Robertson, Wallace B. Rendell

Publikováno v: Ibis. 135:305-310

Previous studies provide evidence that cavity size influences clutch-size and reproductive success in some hole-nesting birds, because overcrowding in cavities may cause brood mortality due to trampling or hyperthermia. We tested this hypothesis with

Comparative analyses of avian population fluctuations have shown large interspecific differences in population variability that have been difficult to relate to variation in general ecological characteristics. Here we show that interspecific variatio

Are avian ectoparasites more numerous in nest boxes with old nest material?

Autor: Wallace B. Rendell, Nicolaas A. M. Verbeek

Publikováno v: Canadian Journal of Zoology. 74:1819-1825

Researchers may reduce the numbers of haematophagous ectoparasites in nest boxes of cavity-nesting birds by removing old nests from boxes and, as a result, eliminate an important selective pressure that could influence the results from nest-box studi
