Egg predation in forest bird communities on islands and mainland
@article{Nilsson2004EggPI, title={Egg predation in forest bird communities on islands and mainland}, author={S. G. Nilsson and C. Bj{\"o}rkman and P. Forslund and J. H{\"o}glund}, journal={Oecologia}, year={2004}, volume={66}, pages={511-515} }
SummaryTo examine if differences in egg predation rates could explain differences in bird community composition, egg predation was studied in two years on small islands in a South Swedish lake and on the nearby mainland using both natural and artificial nests.In plots with similar vegetation, the combined density of ground- and tree-nesting bird species did not differ between the islands and the mainland. Egg predation rates were similar on islands and the mainland for natural Turdus nests in… CONTINUE READING
