Abstract

This article discusses a case of nest predation involving a Japanese Sparrowhawk and a Siberian Weasel in China. The researchers observed the weasel attacking the sparrowhawk and taking all of the nestlings and the remaining unhatched egg. The study highlights the vulnerability of small raptors to nest predation and its potential impact on their reproductive success. The document is a list of literature cited in a research article on various topics related to raptors, including breeding biology, nesting habits, and behavior, with studies conducted in different regions. The topics explored in the cited literature range from nesting failure to population decline and include aspects such as fearfulness, competitive interactions, migration routes, and parental investment theory.
