Oh, and maybe humans need to be a bit less destructive to your habitat, too. Then again, given that the paper has 12 authors, this may just be statistics at work. In areas where there is a high density of these animals grazing, less than 50% of all nests are successful ( source ).

Many of the great debates over human behavior, those related to things such as race or gender, are muddled and messy because plasticity is ignored.
