Breeding Performance and Effects of Nest Site Features on Nest Survival of Chestnut- Capped Blackbird (Passeriformes: Icteridae).

The Chestnut-capped Blackbird is a neotropical species that nests in wetlands, which are abundant in South America. However, many of these wetlands face threats of disappearance and degradation, with potential consequences for the species inhabiting them. Here, we carried out a detailed study of the breeding biology of this species and examined variables that influence daily nest survival rates (DSR).
