Different studies around the world have shown that the orientation of birds' nests depends on local climate variables such as temperature, wind, and rainfall (e.g. Facemire et al. 1990, Wiebe 2001, Burton 2007, Hartman and Oring, 2003, Landler et al. 2014, Schaaf et al. 2018). These local climate variables, in particular temperature, may cause variations in nest orientation between different geographical areas. For example, in temperate regions, bird species that build enclosed nests tend to orient their nests towards the sun to increase the temperature inside the nests. On the other hand, in tropical regions, the nest entrances are directed away from the sun to avoid heating (Wiebe 2001, Burton 2007, Schaaf et al. 2018). In this way, birds achieve thermal conditions more conducive to incubation and offspring growth (McGowan et al. 2004, Mainwaring et al. 2014).

鸟巢方向和局部温度:三十多年的分析

世界各地的不同研究表明,鸟巢的方向取决于当地的气候变量,例如温度、风和降雨量(例如 Facemire 等人 1990、Wiebe 2001、Burton 2007、Hartman 和 Oring,2003 年,Landler 等人2014 年,Schaaf 等人,2018 年)。这些当地气候变量,尤其是温度,可能会导致不同地理区域之间的巢穴方向发生变化。例如,在温带地区,建造封闭巢穴的鸟类倾向于将巢穴朝向太阳以增加巢穴内的温度。另一方面,在热带地区,巢穴入口远离太阳以避免加热(Wiebe 2001、Burton 2007、Schaaf 等人 2018)。通过这种方式,鸟类获得了更有利于孵化和后代生长的热条件(McGowan 等人,2004 年,Mainwaring 等。2014)。
