Microhabitat nest cover effect on nest survival of the red-crested cardinal

We evaluated the influence of microhabitat vegetation cover on Red-crested Cardinal (Paroaria coronata) nest survival in natural forests in central eastern Argentina by monitoring 106 nests for 1,262 exposure days. Daily nest survival rates increased with vegetation cover above the nest and decrease...
