RT journal article T1 Estimating nest-switching in free-ranging wild birds: an assessment of the most common methodologies, illustrated in the White Stork (Ciconia ciconia) A1 Turjeman, Sondra A1 Eggers, Ute A1 Fiedler, Wolfgang A1 Centeno Cuadros, Alejandro A1 Kaatz, Michael A1 Zurell, Damaris A1 Jeltsch, Florian A1 Wikelski, Martin A1 Nathan, Ran A2 BiomedicinaBiotecnología y Salud Pública K1 breeding dispersal K1 genetic kinship analysis K1 GPS tracking K1 multi‐ K1 method comparison K1 nest fidelity K1 ring resighting K1 standardized methodologies AB Reliable estimates of nest-switching are required to study avian mating systems and manage wild populations, yet different estimation methods have rarely been integrated or assessed. Through a literature review and case study, we reveal that three common methods for assessing nest-switching blend different components, producing a wide range of estimates. Careful component definition and reporting are essential to properly estimate this behaviour.
