Discriminating the drivers of edge effects on nest predation: forest edges reduce capture rates of ship rats (Rattus rattus), a globally invasive nest predator, by altering vegetation structure by Ruffell, Jay, Didham, Raphael K, Barrett, Paul, Gorman, Nic, Pike, Rhonda, Hickey-Elliott, Andrée, Sievwright, Karin, Armstrong, Doug P

“…Forest edges can strongly affect avian nest success by altering nest predation rates, but this relationship is inconsistent and context dependent. There is a…”
