Name Ectoparasite behavior and its effects on avian nest site selection
Description In planning conservation efforts for birds, nest-site quality must be considered. An important but neglected aspect of nest-site quality is the presence of ectoparasites; these may cause birds to reject or abandon nests. The presence or absence of by larvae gives a good indication of by nest location success over time. The pilot study was carried out at Rana Creek Ranch, Rancho San Carlo, Hastings Reservation in Carmel Valley, California (1991-1995).Fly larvae were found in nest boxes used by these species.
