巢内捕食是鸟类选择的重要来源之一，越来越受到鸟类学家的关注。包括适用于巢捕食，从社会信息，窃听或生理学的新概念，大大扩展了我们的知识。最近的方法的进步，现在可以集中在所有三个球员巢捕食相互作用：成年人，后代和捕食者。事实上，对巢穴捕食的研究现在已成为动物行为、种群生态学、进化和保护生物学等多个领域鸟类研究的重要组成部分。然而，在巢捕食研究有重要的方面，需要进一步发展，如生态和进化的反捕食反应之间的比较，以及人为变化的作用。我们希望对最近发现的回顾和新研究途径的介绍将鼓励研究人员研究这种重要而有趣的选择压力，并最终帮助我们更好地了解鸟类的生物学。
Nest predation is a key source of selection for birds that has attracted increasing attention from ornithologists. The inclusion of new concepts applicable to nest predation that stem from social information, eavesdropping or physiology has expanded our knowledge considerably. Recent methodological advancements now allow focus on all three players within nest predation interactions: adults, offspring and predators. Indeed, the study of nest predation now forms a vital part of avian research in several fields, including animal behaviour, population ecology, evolution and conservation biology. However, within nest predation research there are important aspects that require further development, such as the comparison between ecological and evolutionary antipredator responses, and the role of anthropogenic change. We hope this review of recent findings and the presentation of new research avenues will encourage researchers to study this important and interesting selective pressure, and ultimately will help us to better understand the biology of birds.
