Predation on artificial avian ground-nests was assessed from March to December 1991 in rainforest and nearby modified habitats in tropical Queensland. Data from 610 experimental nests were used to determine relative predation intensity in five types of habitat or microhabitat. Nest predators were identified with live-traps, with baited grease-plates and by regular observations of 380 additional nests. Predation intensity was patchy but often heavy in forested habitats (rainforest interiors, secondary forest, rainforest-pasture edges, and a rainforest-secondary forest edge) and negligible in adjoining cattle pastures. Forest edges exhibited no obvious edge-interior gradients in predation intensity. Most predation occurred at night in rainforest (88%) and secondary forest (61%), and patterns of egg damage suggested that mammals were responsible for most (>71%) nest predation. A combined nest-predation and live-trapping experiment on six study plots revealed that the abundance of white-tailed rats (Uromys caudimaculatus) was a highly effective predictor of local predation intensity (F=30.15, r*2=0.85, P=0.004). One of Australia's largest rodents, the white-tailed rat may be a key opportunistic predator of some bird nests in north Queensland rainforest.

Abstract We studied nest predation pressure on birds along an urban gradient in urban parks in three Finnish towns. Artificial ground nests with Japanese Quail (Coturnix coturnix japonicus) eggs were depredated more in the urban area than in the adjacent forest area. Within each town, the nest predation rate was higher in the town center than in the less urbanized area of detached houses. Predation rates did not vary from year to year or between study towns. Abundances of generalist avian predators were higher in the town center than in the area of detached houses and in the surrounding forest area. Most of the nests in the town center were destroyed by avian predators. Predation rate of artificial nests in each of the town areas was higher in managed parks than in unmanaged parks, presumably due to the less dense vegetation in the managed than the unmanaged parks. A test involving covering nests revealed that artificial nests covered by adjacent vegetation survived better than nests with less cover. In our study, artificial nest loss reflected the distribution of avian nest predators. Ground nesters were present at lower abundances in areas where concealing vegetation was missing and avian nest predation was high. Apparently, nest predation is one of the several possible mechanism affecting urban bird assemblages.
