Mammalian predators and vegetated nesting habitat drive reduced protected area nesting success of Kentish plovers, Yellow Sea region, China

Donglai Li et al.

Summary: Protected areas serve as important habitats for wildlife by conserving natural habitats and reducing human disturbance. However, the effect of strict land management in protected areas on breeding birds vulnerable to nest predation is unclear. In this study, we compared the nesting performance of Kentish plovers in a protected area (PA) and a non-protected area (non-PA) and identified the environmental factors influencing nest survival rate. The results showed that the PA had a lower nest survival rate compared to the non-PA, indicating that the protected area may not provide safe nesting sites for Kentish plovers due to abundant nest predators. Nonetheless, the PA still contributed to a higher number of successful nests, benefiting the conservation of the species. Further research is needed to understand the differences in nest predator communities between the PA and non-PA.

Nest cameras do not affect nest survival in a meadow-nesting shorebird

Volker Salewski et al.

Summary: The use of automatic cameras for nest monitoring of Black-tailed Godwit in northern Germany did not have an impact on hatching success. Cameras were found to be an effective and non-deleterious tool for collecting conservation data in this case. However, the potential effects of cameras on breeding success should be carefully monitored in other bird species and predator populations.

No evidence that cameras affect shorebird nest survival on the coastal plain of Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, AK

Summary: The study found that placing cameras near bird nests did not affect daily nest survival rates. It is suggested that the use of cameras in nest survival studies can minimize researcher disturbance, improve result accuracy, and broaden the ecological data collected.

Factors influencing Cinnamon Teal nest attendance patterns

Casey M. Setash et al.

Summary: This study reveals that Cinnamon Teal modify their incubation behavior according to nest age and time of day. Incubation constancy decreases with higher ambient temperatures in the study area.

Four-legged foes: dogs disturb nesting plovers more than people do on tourist beaches

Summary: Recreational activities in nature have increased significantly in recent decades. This study found that human presence on Mediterranean beaches affects the breeding behavior of birds, particularly incubating Kentish Plovers. Different types of beach users, their locations, and thermal stress can all influence the response variability of birds towards disturbances, highlighting the potential impact of human activities on wildlife behavior.
