Abstract Numerous avian species use anthropogenic materials in constructing nests, particularly urbanized environments. Researchers have demonstrated materials, including plastics, to both beneficial and harmful effects on survival reproduction. During the spring of 2018, we collected 45 black-crested titmouse Baeolophus atricristatus nests San Marcos, Texas, with two objectives: 1) assess compare mass proportion nest along an urban gradient 2) examine relationship between clutch size,...
Abstract Although the COVID‐19 lockdowns in 2020 had some environmental benefits, pandemic's impact on global economy has also conservation repercussions, especially biodiverse nations. Ecuador, which is heavily reliant petroleum, agricultural exports, and ecotourism, experienced a rise poverty response to pandemic shutdowns. In this study, we sought quantify levels of illegal timber extraction poaching before after start throughout two protected areas (Reserva Jama Coaque [JCR] Bosque Seco...
