Abstract Odocoileus virginianus (White-tailed Deer) were videotaped depredating two Colinus virginianus (Northern Bobwhite) nests during a nest-predator study in south Georgia in 2002 and 2003. Deer ate eggs from the nests, leading to the failure of one of the two nests.

Assessing the Effects of White-tailed Deer (Odocoileus virginianus) on the Oak Savanna
TLDR
This work sought to shed light on the interactions between the savanna habitat, wild blue lupine (Lupinus perennis) and white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), and found that there were complex interactions at both scales that were not adequately captured by the variables measured.
The new faces of nest predation in agricultural landscapes—a wildlife camera survey with artificial nests
European populations of many ground-nesting farmland birds have declined in recent decades. Increases in predator populations and nest predation may play an important role in this decline, along with…
Carrion consumption by the swamp wallaby (Wallabia bicolor)
TLDR
The consumption of the wing of a dead seabird by a swamp wallaby is documented, the first detailed case of this species consuming carrion, and other records of animal consumption in the Macropodiformes are discussed.
Development of camera technology for monitoring nests. Chapter 15
Photo and video technology has become increasingly useful in the study of avian nesting ecology. However, researchers interested in using camera systems are often faced with insufficient information…
Predator reduction results in compensatory shifts in losses of avian ground nests
TLDR
It is suggested that reductions in predation risk from one predator guild can be compensated by an increased risk from other predators in complex ecosystems.
Camera traps capture images of predators of Caiman crocodilus yacare eggs (Reptilia: Crocodylia) in Brazil’s Pantanal wetlands
TLDR
Camera traps were set up in forest nests in 2009, 2010 and 2012 to capture images of possible predators eating eggs of the Pantanal caiman, Caiman crocodilus yacare, although feral pigs and armadillos were also photographed eating caiman eggs.
Effects of native and introduced cervids on small mammals and birds
TLDR
Moose browsing may reduce the breeding success of great tits through a series of knock-on effects through two other components of the boreal forest community.
Effects of Climate and Exurban Development on Nest Predation and Predator Presence in the southern Appalachian Mountains (U.S.A.)
TLDR
The average number of days a nest was undisturbed decreased as mean temperature increased and, to a lesser extent, as the density of buildings increased, and bird species may be most vulnerable to increased nest predation if temperature and exurban development increase at higher elevations as anticipated.
A test of the predator avoidance hypothesis to explain delayed onset of communal breeding
A neglected question in the study of communal breeding concerns why alloparental behaviour begins at variously late stages in the breeding cycle. In group-living corvids, the delay tends to be longer…

White-tailed Deer (Odocoileus virginianus) Predation on Grassland Songbird Nestlings
TLDR
Although probably opportunistic, deer predations clearly were deliberate and likely are more common than generally believed.
IDENTIFYING PREDATORS AT NORTHERN BOBWHITE NESTS
TLDR
It is concluded that diagnostic sign at depredated nests was unreliable for identifying nest predators of northern bobwhites and confirmed that snakes were significant nest predators in some years.
Depredation Patterns of Northern Bobwhite Nest Predators in Virginia
Little information exists that can be used to accurately identify predator species responsible for destruction of northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) nests. We used remotely-tripped cameras to…
Video identification of predators at songbird nests in old fields
TLDR
Nectar is an exclusively parental food type in Orange-tufted Sunbirds, and the methodology can be used to determine whether adult hummingbirds feed nectar to their nestlings.
NEST PREDATION IN FRAGMENTED FORESTS: LANDSCAPE MATRIX BY DISTANCE FROM EDGE INTERACTIONS
TLDR
Evidence for an interaction effect of distance from edge (1, 15, 30, and 45 m) and adjacent landscape matrix (residential or forested) on nest predation rates using an artificial nest design is found.
