Relative effects of nest size and site on the risk of predation in open nesting passerines

Original language description

Large nests may incur fitness cost in terms of conspicuousness to predators, but theeffect of nest size on predation risk can be confounded by effects of nest site andparental characteristics. I examined relative effects of nest size and placement byexperimentally exchanging subsets of inactive nests baited with artificial clutches,among three open-cup nesting passerine species characterized by different nest size,placement and predation rate. The prediction that increasing nest size (original nestreplaced by nest of the larger species) would increase predation, while decreasing nestsize (replacement by nest of the smaller species) would decrease predation, relative tocontrol (replacement by conspecific nest) was not supported in any species. Theprediction that predation should be higher for large nests compared to small ones, evenafter exchanging nests among species-specific sites, was not supported. Predation ratediffered among species (combined site/nest effect) before manipul
