Dietary relationships among four granivorous doves in Venezuelan savannas (2000, background): “Some seed-eater assemblages have been intensively studied; such is the case of Geospiza communities in the Galápagos Islands (Grant 1986, Schluter & Grant 1984), rodents and ants in several 865 deserts around the world (Brown et al. 1986, Kelt et al. 1996, Medel 1995, Murray & Dickman 1994, Stamp…”
How does selection operate on whole-organism functional performance capacities? A review and synthesis (2008, background): “Selection rarely operates at the same direction and intensity, even over human lifespans (Grant, 1999).”
Vocal performance influences female response to male bird song: an experimental test (2004, background): “Our failure to detect such a relationship is not surprising, however, given that Darwin’s finches exhibit a particularly high degree of intraspecific morphological variation in beak characteristics driven by long-term fluctuations in food availability (Gibbs and Grant, 1987; Grant, 1999 ), and we h”
How Birds Combat Ectoparasites (2010, background): “Ornithologists have traditionally interpreted bill shape mainly as it relates to foraging [126, 248-250].”
The evolution of personality variation in humans and other animals. (2006, background): “Selection was so strong that by 1978, the average body size of a young finch on Daphne was 0.31 standard deviations higher than it had been in 1976, and beak depth had increased by 4% (P. R. Grant, 1986).”
A comprehensive framework for global patterns in biodiversity (2004, background): “…the Greater Antilles (Losos & Schluter 2000), and the similar influence of allopatric speciation on adaptive radiation and island diversity in Darwin’s finches in the Galápagos archipelago (Lack 1947; Grant 1986) and honeycreepers in the Hawaiian Islands (Amadon 1950; Fleischer & McIntosh 2001).”
Correlations between lizard cranial shape and diet: A quantitative, phylogenetically informed analysis (2005, methodology): “diet, foraging mode) of organisms (Barel et al ., 1989; Liem, 1993; Wainwright & Reilly, 1994; Wainwright & Richard, 1995; Grant, 1999; Bouton, Witte & Van Alphen, 2002).”
Role of tropics in changing the response to Milankovich forcing some three million years ago (2003, neutral): “(The change in the neighborhood of the Galapagos Islands is consistent with the DNA analysis of Darwin's finches on those islands [see Grant, 1999].)”
Effects of the parasitic flies of the genus Philornis (Diptera: Muscidae) on birds (2006, background): “Only by understanding the parasite and its effects can conservation measures be implemented to preserve an iconic group of birds that are widely regarded as an evolutionary treasure (Grant 1999).”
Ecology of plant speciation (2010, background): “…are (1) early arrival of the founders, providing more time for speciation and pre-emption of ecological niches from later-arriving lineages (P.R. Grant, 1986; Carine & al., 2004; Silvertown, 2004; Linder, 2008); (2) exceptionally high amounts of heritiable genetic vari ation for ecolo gic ally…”
Coexistence of mesopredators in an intact polar ocean ecosystem: The basis for defining a Ross Sea marine protected area (2012, background): “Indeed, where diet becomes an important component of niche separation, often it is expressed mainly when food availability is low (Grant and Grant, 1993; Grant, 1999; Ainley and Boekelheide, 1990), which is not the case in the Ross Sea.”
Vegetation modification and resource competition in grazing ungulates (2000, background): “But as Grant (1986) has pointed out, the relatively strong evidence for competition in Darwin’s finches still relies upon indirect tests which leave some uncertainties in the explanation of morphological and distributional features in the subfamily.”
Visual categorization shapes feature selectivity in the primate temporal cortex (2002, methodology): “Previous experiments have demonstrated that nCRF stimulation strongly modulates responses during free viewing of natural scenes (8).”
Ecomorphology of Bats: Comparative and Experimental Approaches Relating Structural Design to Ecology (2003, background): “Indeed, it may be the foods eaten in times of extreme environmental or population stress that exert the greatest selection pressures and are therefore most critical for determining morphological structure (Grant 1986; Grant and Grant 1989).”
