Can conditions experienced during migration limit the population levels of birds? (2006, background): “Depletion by migrants of some other types of foods, such as berry crops, can be observed each year by even the most casual of observers (for case studies, see Parrish 2000; Ottich and Dierschke 2003).”
Fruit quantity of invasive shrubs predicts the abundance of common native avian frugivores in central Pennsylvania (2011, background): “declines in bird frugivore populations have been shown in studies that have experimentally removed fleshy fruits from habitats in the Block Islands (Parrish, 2000), longleaf pine savannas in South Carolina (Borgman et al.”
VEGETATIVE AND FRUIT RESOURCES AS DETERMINANTS OF HABITAT USE BY MATURE-FOREST BIRDS DURING THE POSTBREEDING PERIOD (2007, background): “Fruits having high sugar content are especially good food resources for accumulating fat reserves to facilitate migration (Parrish 2000).”
MIGRATION STOPOVERS AND THE CONSERVATION OF ARCTIC-BREEDING CALIDRIDINE SANDPIPERS (2006, background): “Dietary plasticity also allows for exploitation of the variable resources birds encounter throughout the year (Parrish 2000).”
