Abstract:
SUMMARYStudies of blood parasite infection in nestling birds rarely find a high prevalence of infection. This is likely due to a combination of short nestling periods (limiting the age at which nestlings can be sampled) and long parasite prepatent periods before gametocytes can be detected in peripheral blood. Here we examine rates of blood parasite infection in nestlings from three Columbid species in the UK. We use this system to address two key hypotheses in the epidemiology of avian haemoparasites: first, that nestlings in open nests have a higher prevalence of infection; and second, that nestlings sampled at 14 days old have a higher apparent infection rate than those sampled at 7 days old. Open-nesting individuals had a 54% infection rate compared with 25% for box-nesters, probably due to an increased exposure of open-nesting species to dipteran vectors. Nestlings sampled at 14 days had a 68% infection rate compared with 32% in nestlings sampled at 7 days, suggesting that rates of infection in the nest are high. Further work should examine nestlings post-fledging to identify rates of successful parasite infection (as opposed to abortive development within a dead-end host) as well as impacts on host post-fledging survival and behaviour.

Abstract:
AbstractIn this study, we summarized and evaluated nesting data of 300 Woodcocks in both historic and present Hungary recorded from the 19th century until now that appeared in 108 ornithological and hunting literature including the results of Vönöczky Schenk’s study (1908–1917). We acquired a comprehensive picture of Woodcock nestings in the Carpathian Basin as we drew nesting maps based on previously collected data analysis. We classified those significant regions where nesting data of this sparsely nesting species were registered. It is ascertainable that the distribution of Woodcock nestings concentrated in certain regions of the country both before and after the First World War. Nesting data collected before 1921 concentrated to higher areas especially the well forested regions of the Carpathian Mountains where 3 main nesting regions can be distinguished with 72% of all nesting data. The most significant nesting area is the region of the North Carpathian Mountains (36%) (Pest-Pilis-Solt-Kiskun, Esztergom, Hont, Nógrád, Borsod, Gömör and Kis-Hont, Abaúj-Torna, Zólyom, Liptó, Sáros, Zemplén and Ung counties). The second main nesting region is situated on the ranges of the East and South Carpathian Mountains (26%) (Máramaros, Beszterce-Naszód, Maros-Torda, Udvarhely, Kisküküllő, Nagyküküllő, Brassó, Fogaras, Szeben, Alsó-Fehér, Torda-Aranyos counties). The third important nesting region can be found in the west part of Historic Hungary (10%) (Moson, Győr, Sopron, Vas, Zala counties). The distribution of nesting observations – based on data collected between 1921–2019 – can be connected well to mountainous nesting regions in the Kingdom of Hungary where nesting conditions were more favourable. Many of these regions are abroad now. Apart from sparse nestings on the Great Hungarian Plain, breeding grounds concentrate in well forested areas such as in North Hungarian counties (63%) (Pest, Nógrád and Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén) and in some Transdanubian counties (31%) mainly in Győr-Moson Sopron, Vas, Veszprém and Baranya counties.In the dominant nesting regions this species typically do not join to higher altitudes, however, in the south margin of their nesting region in the Carpathian Basin – based on 170 years nesting data (n=704) – it can be stated that they rather nest in woodlands of higher altitudes due to their more favourable (cool and rainy) climatic features.

Abstract:
We compared nesting success, nest site characteristics, and parental care of the least flycatcher (Empidonax minimus) between healthy and declining sugar maple (Acer saccharum) stands in southern Quebec, from 1987 to 1989. On average, decline had caused a 20–30% foliage loss. A previous study showed that the least flycatcher was the most abundant species in these stands, even though some negative correlations between population densities and the intensity of decline were detected. Nesting success averaged 53% and did not differ between healthy and declining sites. Nests were located in larger trees in declining sites, and foliage loss in the canopy above the nest was twice as high as in healthy sites. Nestling feeding frequency was significantly higher in declining sites than in healthy ones. Mean meal size did not differ between sites, suggesting that nestlings received more food in affected stands in spite of evidence of lower insect abundance. The nestling diet was principally composed of Lepidoptera, Diptera, Hymenoptera, and Coleoptera in declining and healthy sites. Parents spent more time at the nest in declining sites in 1988, presumably because of increased brooding demand resulting from cold weather that year. We suggest that nestlings were thermally stressed in declining sites because of canopy foliage loss and that parents had to work more (i.e., provide more feeding and brooding) to maintain breeding success. Therefore, even though a moderate level of decline does not affect nesting success, flycatchers may still be negatively affected in more subtle ways.

Abstract:
The nesting ecology of western meadowlarks (Sturnella neglecta) in southern Manitoba is strongly influenced by the timing of breeding. Physical characteristics of nests change, apparently in response to seasonally altered thermal demands. The largest eggs and the largest clutches are produced in the middle portion of the breeding season, and nests initiated at that time produce the greatest number of young. Nevertheless, nesting productivity is highest for females that begin nesting earlier in the season and that can therefore renest if their initial attempt fails. Females breeding with already-mated males have, on average, as high a reproductive success as do primary females. Nevertheless, nestlings of secondary females frequently starve if they do not receive a male's parental care. Asynchronous hatching and facultative brood reduction may decrease the total losses incurred through nestling starvation, and may be adaptations that allow successful polygyny in this species. Aggressive interactions between resident and unmated females may protect a primary female's "preferred" status and may affect a male's ability to breed bigamously.

Abstract:
We investigated the effects of a hematophagous nestling mite (Pellonyssus reedi, Acari: Macronyssidae) on the reproductive biology of the house finch (Carpodacus mexicanus) in east-central Alabama, U.S.A. Mites were absent from nests for the first half of the breeding season, but after their initial appearance they increased in number and were present in almost all nests. High nest-mite levels were associated with decreased nestling mass and hematocrit, but not with decreased nestling tarsus length. Experimental elimination of mites from some nests confirmed that the effects observed were mite-induced, not seasonal. The plumage colour of breeding adult male house finches was not correlated with nest-mite levels, nor did it appear that redder males' offspring suffered less from the effects of mites. Adult house finches fed nestlings from highly parasitized nests less often than those from nests with few or no mites. It appears unlikely that mites are directly involved in the sexual selection of bright male plumage coloration in this population of house finches. However, it is known that early-nesting females preferentially pair with redder males, therefore the benefit of nesting early and avoiding mite infestations is greater for redder male house finches.

Abstract:
A complete nesting information is available for 7.8% of the Manakin species; however, most of this information is fragmented and available mainly for lowland species. Hence, nesting information for highland species is scattered. Our study presents nesting information on a cloud forest Manakin species, the Golden-winged Manakin (Masius chrysopterus), which is distributed from western Colombia to northern Peru between 1000 and 2300m. We monitored 10 nests, from February through July in 2014 and 2015 at Parque Nacional Natural Tatamá, Colombia. We describe the nest, egg, and nestling, and provide information on incubation behavior and nestling feeding. The cup nest was similar to those found in most manakins. Eggs were creamy with brown spots concentrated at the base and measured 8.70± 0.89mm x 13.30 ± 0.39mm. The nestling growth rate (K) was 0.38. The incubation and nestling period were 22 and 16 days, respectively. The female conducted 70 off-bout trips day-1 that lasted on average 8.24 ± 5.44min, with 78% nest attentiveness. This study provides the most complete nesting data for a cloud forest manakin. Overall, M. chrysopterus incubation and nestling period are longer when compared to other manakin species. But the nest structure and composition, and eggs coloration concurred with other species.

Abstract:
Abstract Of 605 Boat-tailed Grackle (Quiscalus major) nests with complete clutches, 60.5% fledged young. Survival of nests to the hatching stage averaged 78.7%, and survival from hatching to fledging averaged 76.9%. Nesting success between localities varied from none to almost all nests fledging some young. Fledging success for 3-egg clutches averaged 64.8% and was significantly higher than the 50.8% success rate that 2-egg clutches averaged. Individual survival of eggs from laying through hatching was lower in 2-egg clutches than in 3-egg clutches, but from hatching to fledging nestling survival was higher. Thus, in contrast to nest survival, equal proportions of eggs in 2- and 3-egg clutches produced fledglings. Predation was the greatest source of mortality, with predators taking 14.8% of the 1,605 eggs and 13.1% of the 1,145 nestlings. Of eggs that survived to the hatching stage, 9.2% failed to hatch. Starvation (13.4%) was the most common source of nestling mortality. Nest abandonment accounted for the death of 5.7% of the eggs and 2.9% of the young. The sources of mortality varied spatially and temporally in an unpredictable way. This uncertainty has resulted in the flexible nesting biology of grackles.

Abstract:Avian hosts may either resist the negative effects of nestling ectoparasites by minimizing the number of parasites, or tolerate parasitism by increasing their fecundity via the reproductive compensation hypothesis. Little is known about the interactions between ectoparasites and their avian hosts in the tropics. We (1) examined nestling development rates, and tested whether (2) parasitism by a subcutaneous ectoparasitic botfly (Philornissp.) had negative effects on the condition of nestlings, and (3) these negative effects were minimized in larger broods in a tropical cavity-nesting bird, the planalto woodcreeper (Dendrocolaptes platyrostris), in primary and secondary Atlantic forests in the northern province of Misiones, Argentina. Nestling mass and ectoparasite load per nestling reached maxima when nestlings (n = 50) were between 10 and 14 d old. General linear mixed models predicted that mass at fledging declined with increasing nestling parasite load, suggesting that botflies had a negative influence on fledging condition. Parasite load per nestling declined with increasing brood size indicating that woodcreepers that increase their reproductive output minimize the negative effects of parasitism. Overall we found evidence to support the tolerance via reproductive compensation hypothesis. Future tests of the reproductive compensation hypothesis may help determine the underlying mechanism of the observed negative correlation between parasite load of nestlings and brood size.

Abstract:
Abstract We studied Double-toothed Kites (Harpagus bidentatus) in tropical lowland forest at Tikal National Park, Petén, Guatemala, documenting behavior and diet during the incubation and nestling periods. These 200-g kites are Accipiter-like in form and strikingly size-dimorphic for a kite. Modal clutch size was two, producing 0.63 fledglings per nesting attempt and 1.25 per successful nest. Nesting was largely synchronous among pairs, with hatching during the first month of the rainy season and fledging one month later. Incubation lasted 42–45 days and nestlings fledged at 29.5 days on average. A radio-tagged fledgling was fed near the nest for 35 days; 6–8 weeks after fledging it dispersed at least 10 km, presumably reaching independence. Males did not incubate or brood, and rarely fed nestlings directly. Males typically provided most but not all prey (mainly lizards) during incubation and early nestling periods. Insects in the nestling diet increased through the nestling period as females increasingly hunted, often bringing in insects. These kites hunted from perches, below and within the closed canopy of tall, mature forest, taking 60.5% insects, 38.1% lizards, and 1.4% other vertebrates; vertebrates comprised at least 75% of prey biomass. Most prey were taken from vegetation, but prey in flight also were captured. Active, adjacent nests averaged 1.35 km apart, for a maximum density estimate of 0.60 pairs km−2 and a more likely estimate of 0.33–0.50 pairs km−2 in homogeneous, favorable habitat and 0.29–0.44 pairs km−2 for Tikal National Park as a whole.

Abstract We studied the breeding biology of the Sharp-shinned Hawk (Accipiter striatus venator ) in Maricao forest of western Puerto Rico from 1978 to 1985. Sharp-shinned Hawks are year-round residents and establish nesting territories only during the breeding season, which coincides with the dry and beginning of the wet seasons. Nesting sites were occupied in December and January every year and reoccupancy rates were 50% or higher. Prolonged and intense territorial conflicts between mated and unmated males were common. The onset of egg-laying was in late March or early April approximately 3-4 months after occupancy of nesting sites. Laying of first clutches peaked in early April and spanned 38 days (n = 19 clutches). Laying of second clutches occurred irregularly and spanned 55 days (n = 8 clutches). Females renested only after the initial clutch or brood was lost. The incubation period was 32 days (n = 13 clutches), similar to the duration reported in temperate North America. Nestling females attained larger asymptotic mass than males, but the latter grew faster; although the slopes of the regression lines were statistically homogeneous. Males fledged at an average age of 28.2 days and females at 32.1 days. Young were slightly heavier than adults at fledging, but the wing chord and tail lengths were approximately 50% shorter than those of adults. Fledging occurred at the peak of prey abundance. The breeding cycle in Puerto Rico was approximately 2 months longer than that recorded in Oregon and Utah. The time that elapsed from occupancy of nesting sites to egg laying accounted for the differences. Juveniles departed from nesting sites when prey was still abundant but delivery rates had declined considerably. A total of 105 eggs was laid in 40 nests (average clutch size 2.6), of which 63% hatched and 47% of the nestlings fledged. A total of 0.8 young fledged per breeding attempt. Overall nest success was 29%, 36% (n = 33 nests) in first nesting attempts and 0% in second nesting attempts (n = 9 nests). Most reproductive losses in 28 nests resulted from nestling mortality from Philornis sp. (Diptera, Muscidae) (n = 9) and desertion of clutches (n = 11). Fecundity and reproductive success was lower in Puerto Rico than in Oregon, Utah, and Wyoming. Despite low reproductive success in Maricao forest, the breeding population did not decline during our study.

Abstract:
The two-dimensional irregular cutting and packing problems (aka nesting problems) have been studied over the past six decades and consist in cutting (packing) convex and non-convex small pieces from (in) large boards without overlapping. There are several variants of this problem that are defined according to the board shapes and the objective of each problem. There are a number of heuristics proposed in the literature to solve irregular cutting and packing problems, but only few mixed-integer programming models. Specifically, these models were developed for the irregular strip packing problem, that consists in packing pieces into a single board with fixed width and length to be minimized. For the other problem variants, there is no exact methods presented in the literature. The main difficulty in solving irregular cutting and packing problems is how to handle with the geometric constraints. These constraints depend on the type of placement of the pieces on the board that can be continuous or discrete. In this thesis, we present two mixed-integer programming models for the irregular strip packing problem in which the pieces can be continuously placed on the board. These models do not demand complex structures to be built. We also present a new dot data structure to store the information on the placement of the pieces and overlapping positions bringing flexibility and efficiency to discrete approaches. Using this structure, a matheuristic is proposed, combining the advantages of the models with discrete and continuous placement positions for the pieces on the board. Furthermore, constraint programming models for several variants of irregular cutting and packing problems are exploited. For some variants, these models are the first modelling representation. A new global constraint is developed to eliminate the overlap among pieces. Computational experiments were conducted to evaluate the developed approaches.

This thesis discusses an artistic method of engaging with complex systems. The engagements take the form of inserting a certain something (an object, a task, a conversational prompt, myself) into a complex system with well-defined and elaborate technical processes serving specific and declared goals. The insertion is not meant to interrupt, disrupt, or destroy the system. The inserted thing is foreign to the system and is often understood as unproductive or absurd by it. However, the system can digest and process the thing successfully and spit it out the same way it does with what the system is meant to and does take in every day. This insertion is an act of nesting in the biological sense-making a nest from concocting foreign materials with existing materials-where the thing inserted becomes an anchor or an entry point from which a particular network of existing knowledge and relations are drawn out and revealed. Then, rigorous observations about what is revealed are made; materials produced by these encounters (between the things inserted and the systems) are collected. This gesture of insertion is an attempt at understanding a complex system without abstraction, reduction, or simplification. It is not possible to "see the whole picture" of these complex systems. However, one could, nonetheless, engage with it and allow a part (perhaps arbitrary to the system) to speak to the whole. The projects presented in this thesis engage with the complex systems of nanoscale fabrication, campus building construction, synthetic biology, and imaging technologies in the sciences. These seemingly disparate fields are united by an investigation of how emerging science and technology challenge an understanding of what a person is and how a person understands, as well as an interest in the very costly infrastructure that supports the new developments.

Abstract:
Since Hymenoptera Aculeate are known to be bioindicators, which are sensitive to environment change, fragmentation of habitats and antropogenous impact, these insects may have an importance in environment conservation. The purpose of our study was to establish impact of nesting cavity parameters and prey abundance on the nesting behaviour of solitary xylicolous wasps. We studied nest structure and the influence of nesting cavity width and length on progeny size and sex ratio in 13 wasp species. The development of the most common synanthropic xylicolous wasp in Lithuania, Symmorphus allobrogus, has been investigated: the assimilation of prey and weight loss during development from larva to adult in both sexes have been compared. Results of a laboratory experiment using S. allobrogus as a model species demonstrated that the amount of prey available in the environment affects the number of cells in the nest of solitary wasp. The list of solitary Hymenoptera inhabiting trap-nests in Lithuania are presented.

Abstract:
General objectives of my study were to describe the reproductive ecology of gray gulls in the large Lealtad colony, with emphasis on demographic parameters and physiological adaptations of eggs and chicks, which would complete some original objectives established in the early 1980's by Guerra and Fitzpatrick. Specifically, my study focused on describing, then comparing with other desert and non-desert nesting larids, interactive effects of ambient physical conditions and nest-site predation on eggs and chicks.

Abstract:
Tree cavities are proposed to limit populations and structure communities of cavity-nesting birds, making these birds particularly vulnerable to anthropogenic activities that destroy potential nest trees. The greatest diversity of cavity-nesting birds is found in tropical rainforests, yet little is known about the ecology or conservation of these birds. I studied how the production, consumption and loss of tree cavities structure a cavity-nesting community in one of the five most important global biodiversity hotspots, the subtropical Atlantic forest of Argentina. I found that the cavity-nesting community in the Atlantic forest is structured primarily around the production and persistence of high, deep, non-excavated cavities in large live trees. I show the first experimental evidence that the supply of tree cavities limits the breeding density of secondary cavity-nesting birds (species that do not excavate their own cavity) in a tropical forest. Conventional tropical logging strongly reduced cavity availability: logged forest had half the basal area of primary forest, but only one third the density of large trees, nine times fewer cavities suitable for nesting birds, and 17 times fewer active nests. My results suggest a severe impact of tropical logging on the abundance of cavity-nesting birds, and a need for management strategies that conserve large live cavity-bearing trees. In contrast to North America where vertebrate excavators create most of the nest cavities for secondary cavity nesters, but similar to sites outside of North America, 80% of nests of secondary cavity nesters in the Atlantic forest were in cavities created by natural decay processes. These non-excavated cavities were often in live stems or branches. The predominance of excavated cavities in North America and non-excavated cavities elsewhere can be explained partly by high rates of persistence of excavated cavities at a site in North America and low rates of persistence of excavated cavities at a site in Europe and my site in Argentina. To conserve cavity-nesting birds of the Atlantic forest, I recommend a combination of policies, economic assistance, environmental education, and technical support for forest managers and small-scale farmers, to maintain large healthy and unhealthy trees in commercial logging operations and on farms.

Abstract:
Nesting problems have been present for as long as mankind exists. Present days these problems occur in many different industries, e.g. textile, paper, wood, metal and glass industry. These industries produce massive amounts of products to answer the global demand. To minimize the material waste making these products, a good cutting and packing layout is beneficial. The last three decades, researchers have focused on developing methods to solve these problems through computing, instead of solving them manually. Many possible solutions have been found, each method focusing on the specifications of the problem. This thesis had two sub-objectives. The first one was to find the best method for nesting optimization, by doing an intensive literature study. The second sub-objective was to work with a previous made program that is capable of doing optimization tests, containing a nesting optimization method, and try to improve this method to get better results, using the literature study. At a certain point in this project, based on the progress of the literature study and knowledge acquired on the in-house developed program, a decision had to be made either to continue with the previous developed method or to try a new method. A lot of ideas from the literature where used and implemented to improve the method leading to improving results. Hence, the choice was made to continue working with the previous developed method. A new placement strategy was introduced in the program. Additional program code to improve stencil evaluation was added. A proper user interface was created. At the end of this project, a nesting optimization method was obtained, capable of producing a feasible solution when solving a nesting problem, within a reasonable amount of time.

COORDENAÇÃO DE APERFEIÇOAMENTO DO PESSOAL DE ENSINO SUPERIOR
O uso cada vez mais corrente de métodos heurístico tem permitido contribuir para a automação e otimização de inúmeros processos industriais complexos. Um dos processos que vem sendo beneficiado é o corte de roupas na indústria do vestuário, onde o encaixe de moldes deve ser feito de forma a minimizar o desperdício de tecido. Este trabalho visa a dar uma contribuição ao problema geral de encaixe de figuras planas irregulares. Assim, busca-se resolver este problema através do uso de regras heurísticas implementadas num algoritmo computacional. Como ponto principal, o apresenta uma sistemática de construção de alternativas de encaixe, em forma de uma árvore, facilitando a busca de um encaixe solução, de alto rendimento, entre as praticamente infinitas possibilidades. A viabilização do algoritmo de encaixe é alcançada através de duas técnicas de posicionamento dos moldes que previnem sua superposição. As vantagens das duas técnicas são combinadas para melhor proveito do algoritmo. Nas conclusões são discutidas as dificuldades encontradas e formulados novos caminhos para a investigação.
The increasing use of heuristical methods has advanced the frontier of application of optimization and automatization techniques in complex industrial processes. One emerging utilization for these methods in the pattern nesting process in the garment industry. The aim is to nest the pattern in such a way as to minimize the waste of fabric. The present work aims to contribute to the optimal nesting of general planes figures. The methods which will be discussed, employ heustical rules implemented thorough computacional algorithms. The focal point of the work is a methodology of obtaining a sequence of partial and complete nesting from which the best one can be selected. The computacional algorithm embodies two distinct methods for the placement of the figures on the nesting plane avoiding superposition. Both methods are used in such way that the resulting algorithm profits from their advantages. Present diffuclties and future trends are outlined in the conclusions.

Abstract:
Abstract Since the cost of high volume stamped parts is largely dependent on material usage, scrap minimization is a primary goal of the design process. Although many factors influence the scrap rate for a given stamping, one of the most critical is the actual nesting, or positioning, of the part blanks onto the metal strip or sheet stock. Blank nesting is often done by hand, resulting in inefficient nestings with high scrap rates. Greater material efficiency can be achieved by automating this process. We have developed an automated system based on mathematical programming techniques which optimizes blank nestings for continuous strip stamping processes. We formulate the problem by first describing the geometry of the part or parts to be nested for stamping and specifying an initial layout. We use a novel integer grid technique to efficiently and accurately compute the overlap between parts and then apply simulated annealing, a probabilistic global optimization technique, to determine a new part layout with zero overlap and minimal scrap. Using representative part configurations, we present several examples illustrating the efficient nestings produced using this method.

Abstract:
Breeding colonies of wading birds (orders Ciconiiformes, Pelecaniformes) and seabirds (orders Suliformes, Pelecaniformes) serve as important indicators of aquatic ecosystem health, as they respond to changes in food abundance and quality, contaminants, invasive species, and disturbance. The Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan, Restoration Coordination & Verification program (CERP-RECOVER) has identified wading-bird colonies as an important ecosystem restoration indicator. The National Park Service South Florida/Caribbean Inventory & Monitoring Network (SFCN) ranked colonial nesting birds eighth out of 44 vital signs of park natural resource conditions for ecological significance and feasibility. However, while large-scale monitoring efforts are occurring in the rest of the Greater Everglades Ecosystem, only minimal historic data collection and no extensive ongoing monitoring of wading bird and seabird nesting have occurred in Biscayne National Park. Consequently, due to their high importance as biological indicators and because they are a gap occurring in regional monitoring efforts, the network has initiated a monitoring program of colonial nesting birds in Biscayne National Park. This protocol provides the rationale, approach, and detailed Standard Operating Procedures for annual colonial bird monitoring within and close to Biscayne National Park and conforms to the Oakley et al. (2003) guidelines for National Park Service long-term monitoring protocols. The specific objectives of this monitoring program are to determine status and long-term trends in: Numbers and locations of active colonies of colonial nesting birds with a special focus on Double-crested Cormorants, Great Egrets, Great White Herons, Great Blue Herons, White Ibises, and Roseate Spoonbills. Annual peak active nest counts of colonial nesting birds in Biscayne National Park with a special focus on the species mentioned above. An annual nesting index (i.e., sum of monthly nest counts) with a special focus on the species mentioned above. Timing of peak nest counts for the focal species.
