Clearing of riparian habitat in Monteverde, Costa Rica is prohibited up to 50 meters from the bank of the waterway. Unfortunately, this regulation is often disregarded, and forests bordering streams are cleared for a variety of purposes. Deforestation creates edge effects where there once was continuous forest, and it has been shown that rates of avian nest predation are higher on forest edges. In this study, I examined the proportions of eggs removed or damaged from artificial nests in four riparian habitats. Two of the chosen sites were forested, and two had been cleared for human use. The artificial nests contained two quail eggs and four clay eggs. The study lasted nine nest nights, and after the morning of each I returned to the site t...
