1.鸟巢是许多陆地栖息地中普遍存在但不完整的资源。巢可以支持不同的群落的脊椎无脊椎动物，特别是蛾（鳞翅目）。然而，有一个与鸟巢相关的蛾类，以及影响其丰富度，多样性和组成的因素的信息不足。2.二百二十四个巢，从16种鸟类，从威尔士中部（英国）的网站进行了采样，并记录了从他们出现的蛾。3. 78%的巢产生蛾，记录了10种4657只个体。蛾类群落主要由通才物种而不是鸟巢专家。4.在灌木丛中建造的开放式巢比封闭空间（例如，巢箱）中的巢支持的飞蛾数量要少得多。蚤类的发生与蛾类的发生和丰度呈正相关。没有证据表明不同的巢型支持不同的蛾类群落。
1. Bird nests are ubiquitous but patchy resources in many terrestrial habitats. Nests can support diverse communities of commensal invertebrates, especially moths (Lepidoptera). However, there is a shortage of information on the moths associated with bird nests, and the factors influencing their abundance, diversity and composition. 2. Two hundred and twenty-four nests, from 16 bird species, were sampled from sites in mid-Wales (UK) and the moths that emerged from them were recorded. 3. Seventy eight percent of nests produced moths, with 4657 individuals of ten species recorded. Moth communities were dominated by generalist species rather than bird nest specialists. 4. Open nests built in undergrowth supported significantly fewer moths than nests in enclosed spaces (for example, nesting boxes). The occurrence of fleas was positively associated with the incidence and abundance of moths. There was no evidence that different nest types supported different moth communities.
