Ceramic eggs simulating real eggs were used to test the hypothesis that increasing forest fragmentation results in increased avian predation. The results show a 57% rate of nest disturbance by avian predators and is comparable to results of previous studies wherein avian predators are implicated. The results also proved the effectiveness of using ceramic eggs in studies of avian predation, since mammalian predators, which use olfaction to ferret out real eggs, did not affect the results of th...

	Effects of microsite selection on predation of artificial ground nests. Wilson Bulletin ; Artificial nest studies have shown experimentally that avian nesting success declines with reduced forest size or with greater forest fragmentation (e.g., Wilcove 1985, Yahner and Scott 1988, Yahner et al. 1993, Yahner and Mahan 1996a). Previous studies also have shown that depredation of
