The advance of urbanization in Neotropical countries has drastically changed or eliminated extensive areas of natural habitats. Despite these changes, some species breed in cities and adapt to urban conditions. Several variables, such as the type of nest, substrate, and height, as well as the distance to buildings at which nests are constructed, may affect nesting success of birds in urban habitats. Here we tested how these variables affect nest daily survival rate (DSR) of 6 bird species that constructed 3 different types of nests in a high human-density suburb of San Jos´e, Costa Rica. The first type includes platform nests built by 3 species of columbids, where at least 1 parent is always present at the nest; the second type includes cup...
