Effect of habitat on Blackcap, Sylvia atricapilla nest predation in the absence of corvid predators

Original language description

Variation in nest survival rates is often ascribed to differences in predator communities. Because corvids are the dominant nest predators in many landscapes with fragmented woodland, their absence may have effect on both the overall nest success and itsrelationship to habitat features. Nest success of Sylvia atricapilla was examined in two habitats in agricultural landscape of SW Slovakia, where corvids were rare/absent. The daily nest survival rate (126 nests) was 0.977 (95% CI: 0.966 ... 0.984) and0.966 (0.948 ... 0.977) for the egg and nestling stage, respectively, yielding a nest success of 0.52 (0.37 ... 0.64) over a 24day period. These values are higher than in comparable studies from central Europe, although predation was still the leading cause of nesting failure (more or equal to 71% of 48 failed nests). Correlational evidence suggests link between local absence of corvids and the relatively high nest survival, which was only weakly affected by nest site and habitat charact
