Repeatability of nest predation in passerines depends on predator species and time scale
Original language description
It has been proposed that some specific locations of bird's nests have higher intrinsic chances of being depredated than other locations. This predicts that fates of consecutive nesting attempts at the same site should be repeatable. We used 20 pairs ofold thrush nests to simulate repeated nesting attempts at the same sites, both within and between breeding seasons (n=40 sites x 2 trials x 2 years = 160). Each nest was monitored by a camera to record multiple predation events and to identify predators.Predation by all predator species was repeatable during a 15-day trial. Predation by principal predators (jay Garrulus glandarius, marten Martes martes/foina) and total predation (all species combined) was not correlated within pairs of simultaneously exposed nests or within samples of nests from particular study plot, and not repeatable for individual nests between-trials or between-years.
