Role of the thermal environment in scaled quail (Callipepla squamata) nest site selection and survival

Kiera L. Kauffman et al.

Summary: Temperature plays a crucial role in nest site selection and survival of scaled quail, with nest bowls providing cooler temperatures compared to the surrounding microsite and landscape. Despite a preference for cooler temperatures and taller vegetation, nest survival is positively influenced by proximity to surface water and honey mesquite. Further research is needed to explore landscape-level sources of thermal mitigation for ground-nesting birds in semiarid environments.

Fine-scale habitat selection limits trade-offs between foraging and temperature in a grassland bird

David W. Londe et al.

Summary: The research found that female greater prairie chickens primarily selected areas 0-12 months postfire with high abundances and biomasses of invertebrates. They further selected areas with cooler temperatures within these food-rich patches during the hottest part of the day. The use of thermal refuge did not affect access to food resources, as invertebrate abundance and biomass remained consistent throughout the day at chosen sites.
