Bird species with short wings have a greater stroke amplitude angle than bigger birds with longer wings. The m. [...]
Article
D. Charles Deeming, Auteur ; Morgan Merrils-Brown, AuteurThermistors embedded on and within the nest wall were used to measure the changes in temperature between different parts of the architecture of the wall of Song Thrush nests as heat from a light bulb was conducted across the wall. The wood pulp [...]

Article
Capsule Nest construction by Common Redstarts Phoenicurus phoenicurus is affected by localized habitat.Aims This study investigated whether variation in nest construction observed over a wide geographical region would also be observed if birds w[...]
Article
D. Charles Deeming, Auteur ; Fleur E. M. Morton, Auteur ; Kirsty L. Laverack, AuteurIncreasing nestbox size affects mass of whole nests and the moss component but not proportions of nest materials except for feathers, which are inversely correlated with nestbox floor area.
Article
Lucia E. Biddle, Auteur ; D. Charles Deeming, Auteur ; Adrian M. Goodman, AuteurBird nests can have various roles but all act as the location for incubation, so at least have to serve to hold and support the incubating bird and its clutch of eggs. Nest construction is species specific and the use of materials varies between[...]
Article
Liberty A. Gray, Auteur ; D. Charles Deeming, AuteurCapsule: Air movement over a nest increases the rate of cooling within the nest cup but the walls provide good thermal insulation.Aims: This study compared nests of six bird species of the families Fringillidae and Motacillidae to investigate th[...]

Jennifer Britt, Auteur ; D. Charles Deeming, AuteurCapsule For nest construction by Blue Tits, but not Great Tits, first-egg date (FED) and air temperature significantly affected the mass of the nest as a whole and some of its component parts. Aims To test the hypothesis that use of nest materia[...]
Article
D. Charles Deeming, Auteur ; Christopher R. Du Feu, AuteurAn infrared ear thermometer can be easily used to measure brood patch temperature in passerines caught on the nest or in mist-nets.
