Nesting success, subsequent survival, and factors influencing them.
Temporal factors (stage of nesting cycle, seasonal effects, annual variation) had the most effect on nesting success; landscape factors had little influence on nesting success.
Abundance and nesting success were monitored again in 1997 and 1998.
In particular, edge effects on nesting success of cavity-nesting birds are poorly understood.
Nesting success and density vary with habitat; little is known of fledging success.
The relative importance of helpers to nesting success remains largely unstudied.
Total cool season precipitation was a predictor of nesting success at the landscape scale.
Correspondingly, conservation actions that limit fragmentation at landscape scales should have positive impacts on nesting success rates and bird populations.
Nesting success ranged from 0.57 for the yellow-rumped flycatcher to 0.89 for the Grey-faced Woodpecker.
We used binary logistic regression within an information-theoretic approach to assess factors influencing nest site choice and nesting success.
We examined songbird abundances throughout the forest and nesting success on four 40 ha plots in 1996.
