Factors affecting nest site selection of Milvus migrans govinda (Pariah kite), in and around AMU campus, Aligarh

Abstract

Natural selection favors individuals that choose resources that enhance breeding success, which maintains the population but limited availability of such resources can limit the number of individuals that breed. In a given species, nest site quality varies in space and time at different scales due to different environmental factors affecting reproductive success.4 Other environmental factors, besides nest site characteristics, which can have a strong influence on reproductive success is food availability.
