Nest Box Entrance Hole Size Influences Prey Delivery Success by American Kestrels

Current nest box designs may not be optimal for the larger forest dormice: Pre‐hibernation increase in body mass might lead to sampling bias in ecological data

“…However, researchers have recently described some of the ways in which nest box design can considerably affect the ecological processes and phenomena under study. Clark et al ( 2020 ) observed that the American kestrels experience a significantly higher prey delivery failure rate at the boxes with small holes compared to boxes with large holes. Møller et al ( 2014 ) reported that there was a significant, positive relationship between clutch size and the base area of the nest box.…”
