Incubating new ideas about avian reproduction/SJ Reynolds & DC Deeming--The fossil
record and evolution of avian egg nesting and incubation/DC Deeming--Nest construction …

Bird nests offer an ideal situation to manipulate ectoparasites and study how they impact
hosts. Several methods are available to eliminate parasites from nests and each has its own …

Nests of cavity‐nesting birds usually harbor some species of haematophagous
ectoparasites that feed on the incubating adults and nestlings. Given the negative impact of …

Natural cavities are a critical resource for non-excavating hole-nesting birds, many of which
are declining in northern Europe. In the heavily managed boreal forests in Finland, cavities …

Nesting cavities constitute micro-environments very likely to be colonized by ectoparasites
which feed on blood of the incubating female and the nestlings. Given the negative impact of …

Urbanization has been shown to strongly affect community composition of various taxa with
potentially strong shifts in ecological interactions, including those between hosts and …

Bacteria may colonize avian nests with unknown repercussions on nestling growth and
health, although bacteria on nest materials may easily colonize nestling skin and growing …

The study of host–parasite co‐evolution is a central topic in evolutionary ecology. However,
research is still fragmented and the extent to which parasites influence host life history is …

Nesting is a prerequisite for breeding in a wide range of birds, and nest-sites become a key
resource ultimately influencing individual fitness. In that context, reuse of nest-sites by …

Urbanization has profound effects on ecological interactions and the composition of various
taxa, including arthropod communities. Recent research has endeavoured to examine …
