The relative impacts of nest predation and brood parasitism on seasonal fecundity in songbirds

Article Abstract:

Seasonal fecundity of birds is dependent on the number of nesting attempts and behaviors that increase the numbers of opportunities to nest. Renesting following a successful or unsuccessful brood are ways birds can reduce the impacts of nest predation and brood parasitism. Predator control should be a high priority, especially for single-brooded species.

Nest predation and population declines in illinois songbirds: a case for mesopredator effects

Article Abstract:

Research shows that decline in low-nesting songbird species in Illinois parallel with the increase in raccoon population. Results reveal very high rates of nest predation by raccoons on low-nesting species of songbirds. Furthermore, avian predator caused lower nest-predation rates are observed among high-nesting songbird species.

Effects of exotic Lonicera and Rhamnus on songbird nest predation

Article Abstract:

Restoring native plants to a community can protect birds from predation. Habitat destruction leads to invasions of exotic plants, but birds who build their nests in these plants can be subject to greater predation.
