Early bird study focused on collectibles such as eggs and nests

In the ringing studies birds ringed as chicks are recapatured close to their original nests, a tendency which can be extreme at times ; in Laysan Albatross the average distance between hatching site and the site where a bird established its own territory was, and a study of Cory's Shearwaters nesting near Corsica found that of nine out of 61 male chicks that returned to breed at their natal colony actually bred in the burrow they were raised in.

There has been little study of fire lizards since the early days, however, and wild green clutches produce few young because greens do not defend their nests or carefully choose secure sites.

A Polish study showed that nests typically contained more than 29 specimens of ectoparasite, with C. hirundinis and Oeciacus hirundinis the most abundant.

The nests may sometimes be decorated with bright materials such as white plastic and a study in Spain suggests that they may have a role in signalling to keep away other kites.

Spring planting means that many nests of this early breeding duck are destroyed by farming activities, and a Canadian study showed that more than half of the surveyed nests were destroyed by agricultural work such as ploughing and harrowing.

Furthermore, a University of New England study published in 2006 reported that the breeding success rates for the Eastern Yellow Robin ( Eopsaltria australis ) and Scarlet Robin ( Petroica boodang ) on the New England Tablelands were improved after nests were protected and currawongs culled, and some Yellow Robins even re-colonised an area where they had become locally extinct.

In a study of cowbird parasitism on Sanibel Island, all 5 eastern towhee nests located were within 6 feet ( 2 m ) of the ground.

The study did not determine if there was a difference in nest success between parasitized and nonparasitized nests.

In a Pennsylvania study site, only 2 of 36 nests were parasitized and both produced eastern towhee fledglings.

In a study of nest parasitism on Sanibel Island, none of 5 eastern towhee nests found were parasitized.

A more recent study found that the behavior of attacking female cowbirds near nests may actually attract cowbird parasitism because the female cowbirds use such behavior to identify female Song Sparrows that are more likely to successfully raise a cowbird chick.

According to a study by the Florida Museum of Natural History published in 1983, the cowbird returned to ransack the nests of a range of host species 56 % of the time when their egg was removed.

95 % of the nests found in a study in New South Wales were in stringybarks, particularly the species Eucalyptus macrorhycha.

That study also highlighted the role that non-predatory introduced species can play in harming seabirds ; introduced rabbits on the island caused little damage to the petrels, other than damaging their burrows, but they also acted as a food source for the rats during the non-breeding season, which allowed rat numbers to be higher than they otherwise would be, resulting in more predators for the petrels to contend with.

This was followed by chromosome study which highlighted each of the three species having a different karyotype.

Their study highlighted interesting findings, such as confirming anecdotal evidence that there had been a strong El Niño in 1791, and finding that in 1816 the " Year Without a Summer " in Eurasia and much of North America had been offset by warmer than usual temperatures in Labrador and the Middle East.

Gabolde highlighted, in his analysis, the consistently small number of surviving scarabs known for Thutmose II compared to Thutmose I and Hatshepsut respectively ; for instance, Flinders Petrie's older study of scarab seals noted 86 seals for Thutmose I, 19 seals for Thutmose II and 149 seals for Hatshepsut while more recent studies by Jaeger estimate a total of 241 seals for Thutmose I, 463 seals for Hatshepsut and only 65 seals for Thutmose II.
