Nest predation is a key source of selection for birds that has attracted increasing attention
from ornithologists. The inclusion of new concepts applicable to nest predation that stem …

The duration of the developmental period represents a fundamental axis of life-history
variation, yet broad insights regarding the drivers of this diversity are currently lacking. Here …

The study of avian nesting biology in North America and Europe has a long history, resulting
in an expansive and information‐rich literature. In contrast, the tropics have been relatively …

Incubation is an important component of parental care in birds, and species differ widely in
their incubation rhythm. In this comparative study, we focused on factors responsible for …

The Hypothesis that nest predation risk constrains parental nest activity has important
implications for the evolution of parental care strategies, but the required conditions for the …

In spite of strong selection by time-dependent mortality on the length of the embryo
development (incubation) period, time to hatching varies substantially among species …

We compiled 302 breeding records from an in-depth review of bird observational records
from the Lima Metropolitan Area (Lima-Peru), from eBird and iNaturalist, during 2000-2020 …

Methods for monitoring bird nests might influence rates of nest predation, but the effects of
various methods (eg, visual markers and observer visitation rates) are often separately …

Many species of tropical birds have prolonged incubation periods compared to other tropical
species and to most species in temperate latitudes. One hypothesis for prolonged incubation …

The identification of predators of birds' nests, crucial to a better understanding of predator-
prey interactions, remains poorly known. Here we provide evidence that birds, and …
