Predator foraging behavior and patterns of avian nest success: What can we learn from an agent-based model?
- I studied the relationship between predators, nest dispersion, and nest success.
- I built an agent-based model using data from nesting waterfowl, skunks, and foxes.
- Predation risk is diluted when nests are clustered and predation is incidental.
- When predators respond strongly to nest density, widely spaced nests survive better.
- Habitat management that imposes nest clustering could create ecological traps.
