	abstract = {The sandy beaches of Zakynthos Island support the largest single nesting aggregation in the Mediterranean Region of the endangered loggerhead turtle Caretta caretta. The present study attempts to determine possible correlations between a series of habitat variables and nest site selection. Nesting activities, including total and nesting emergences were examined in response to the recorded biotic and abiotic variables. The results of the analysis indicate that beach width is the most critical habitat variable affecting nest site selection. Further analysis of nesting performance implies that sea turtles use multiple environmental cues for nest site selection during the different steps of the nesting processes such as emergence from the surf and nesting. Nevertheless, we caution that a detailed study needs to be conducted over a more extensive period of time to verify these suggestions. {\textcopyright} 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.},

	abstract = {We studied nest site selection and breeding success of Black-crowned Night-Herons (Nycticorax nycticorax) and Little Egrets (Egretta garzetta) in the Axios Delta (Greece) from 1988 to 1990. Both species nested above the middle of tamarisks and alders. Nest density varied each year from 333.3 nests/ha to 646.2 nests/ha for Blackcrowned Night-Herons and 291.7 nests/ha to 421.5 nests/ha for Little Egrets. Black-crowned Night-Herons started to breed earlier than Little Egrets, also placing their nests higher (mean nest height: 4.21 {\textpm} SD of 0.80 m and 3.54 {\textpm} SD of 0.71 m for Black-crowned Night-Herons and Little Egrets, respectively). The nearest neighbors were conspecifics for Black-crowned Night-Herons and heterospecifics (Black-crowned Night-Herons) for Little Egrets. The mean distance of the nearest neighbor was similar in both species (1.02 {\textpm} SD of 0.46 m and 1.11 {\textpm} SD of 0.37 m for Black-crowned Night-Herons and Little Egrets, respectively). In contrast to late-nesting Little Egrets that located their nests lower, Black-crowned Night-Herons maintained a constant nest distance from the ground. The mean clutch size (3.40 {\textpm} SD of 0.60 and 4.32 {\textpm} SD of 0.81 for Black-crowned Night-Herons and Little Egrets, respectively) and the mean chick survival per nest (2.48 {\textpm} SD of 0.95 and 2.53 {\textpm} SD of 1.28 for Black-crowned Night-Herons and Little Egrets, respectively) of both species varied among the study years. No variation was observed in the means of clutch size and chick survival per nest of Black-crowned Night-Herons among the 3 sub-periods of the breeding season. Little Egret clutch size and mean number of eggs hatched was smaller in late nesters, but no difference was observed in chick survival per nest between early and late nesters. Nest placement did not affect chick survival in Black-crowned Night-Herons and only marginally in Little Egrets.},

Some early nests of pelicans (Dalmatian, Pelecanus crispus, and Great White, P. onocrotalus) at traditional sites were destroyed by predators due to connection with land. Both pelican species delayed egg laying and finally nested on artificial islands not available in normal years. The number of nesting attempts was high for Dalmatian and low for Great White Pelicans.
