ARE ARTIFICIAL BIRD NESTS EFFECTIVE SURROGATES FOR ESTIMATING PREDATION ON REAL BIRD NESTS? A TEST WITH TROPICAL BIRDS

Artificial bird nests are often used in studying birds whose nests are difficult to find, such as those of many tropical species. Yet the underlying assumption that predation on artificial nests accurately estimates predation on real nests may be invalid. We compared rates at which contents of real...
