TL;DR
A determination of both the number of avian species nesting in farmstead shelterbelts and the abundance of nests per species is an initial and important step in assessing whether or not these small, narrow, agricultural habitats are valuable nesting areas or instead perhaps function to attract predators, hence reducing fledging success.

To conclude with a list of questions appropriate for studies of resource partitioning, questions this article has related to the theory in a preliminary way.
Annual Review of Ecology and SystematicsThe Structure of Lizard Communities
2,823 Citations1973Eric R. Pianka
The topic here is the structure of lizard communities in this somewhat loose sense of the word (perhaps assemblage would be a more accurate description), with emphasis on the niche relationships among such sympatric sets of lizard species, especially as they affect the numbers of species that coexist within lizard communities.

EcologyAvian Nest Dispersion and Fledging Success in Field‐Forest Ecotones
1,135 Citations1978J. Edward Gates, Leslie W. Gysel
The results indicate that habitat suitability decreases with increasing numbers of nests toward the narrow field-forest edges, and that the cowbird was also a victim of the increased predation rate.
Ornithological ApplicationsAn Urban Bird Community in Tucson, Arizona: Derivation, Structure, Regulation
399 Citations1974John T. Emlen
Urban and suburban environments, commonly shunned by field ornithologists, provide a special opportunity for studying the formation and regulatory dynamics of avian communities, especially in recently developed areas such as the American West.
EcologyMicrohabitats in a Forest‐Floor Small Mammal Fauna
362 Citations1978Raymond D. Dueser, Herman H. Shugart
This study examines microhabitat configurations for 3 small mammal species occupying second—growth mesic forest on Walker Branch Watershed in eastern Tennessee with reference to recent theories of habitat selection, ecological, specialization and resource partitioning in equilibrium faunas.
Journal of Wildlife ManagementHabitat Selection by Birds of Riparian Communities: Evaluating Effects of Habitat Alterations
245 Citations1980Fred W. Stauffer, Louis B. Best
The objectives were to quantify factors critical in nest-site and habitat selection by breeding birds of riparian communities over a range of habitat types and to use the results to evaluate effects of habitat perturbations on avian communities.
EcologyLikelihood Measures of Niche Breadth and Overlap
218 Citations1979Peter S. Petraitis
Currently used niche measures of overlap and breadth are shown to be inappropriate for analyzing field data and Comparisons of different measures of either breadth or overlap are not valid.
Biological ConservationObservations on how close certain passerine species will tolerate an approaching human in rural and suburban areas
164 Citations1980A.S. Cooke
Information was obtained on how close passerines tolerate an approaching human before flying away, and there was a significant association between degree of tolerance and size, with small birds,such as tits, allowing a closer approach than larger species, such as corvids.
EcologyNiche Pattern in a Forest‐Floor Small‐Mammal Fauna
154 Citations1979Raymond D. Dueser, H. H. Shuggart
The niche pattern observed for this community is consistent with an inference of competitive coexistence, and measures of niche position, niche breadth and population abundance are incorporated into an analysis of community "niche pattern".
Journal of Wildlife ManagementInterpreting the Results of Nesting Studies
145 Citations1978H. Miller, Douglas H. Johnson
The observed hatch rates of 1,900 nests of blue-winged teal (Anas discors) are presented to illustrate the relationship of hatch rates to time remaining until the nests should hatch and the Mayfield method of correcting for these biases is illustrated.

78 Citations1978Kathleen E. Franzreb
The purpose of this investigation was to determine if birds select certain tree species in a mixed-coniferous forest, and if so, to what extent the use of a logged area differs from that of a virgin forest.
EcologyAn Ecological Analysis of Chaparral and Pine Forest Bird Communities on Santa Cruz Island and Mainland California
55 Citations1974Richard I. Yeaton
A comparative study of chaparral and pine forest bird communities on Santa Cruz Island and adjacent mainland areas was made during 1969—72, finding that average niche overlap values between species present on both the mainland and the island are greater on the island.

Data is presented on the ecology of the Ferruginous Hawk (Buteo regalis) with notes on other raptors in McPherson County, in northcentral South Dakota during 1973 and 1974.

The literature about the nesting habitat of the 26 cavity-nesting bird species found in the oak-hickory forest is summarized and the potential influences of silvicultural practices and management alternatives are discussed.
