Artificial nest predation and habitat fragmentation: different trends in bird and mammal predators

Abstract: Predation on artificial nests was studied in Belgian deciduous forest fragments between 1 and 200 ha Predation rates were compared to fragment size, distance from the forest edge, time period (three replicates), and nest type (ground and tree) Logistic regression analysis showed that overall nest predation did not vary with distance from the edge, forest size, and time period Birds represented over 70% of all predator attacks but their importance decreased in larger areas and away from the forest edge where ma… Show more

“…This agrees with the results of many other studies, 24,[41][42][43][44][45] but not with the findings of other studies in comparable landscapes. 26 Gibbs 46 observed an increase in predation rate in nests close to edges between primary and secondary growth wood but not close to edges between primary wood and pasture.…”

“…Results from nest predation studies in forest patches of different sizes have shown that nest predation risk is higher close to the edge between forest and farmland and higher in small compared to large forest patches (e.g., Small and Hunter 1988;AndrØn 1992;Nour et al 1993;Haskell 1995;Robinson et al 1995;Vander Haegen and DeGraaf 1996). These differences in nest predation risk have often been attributed to movements of nest predators (Bider 1968;Oehler and Litvaitis 1996).…”
