The timing of birds' breeding seasons: a review of experiments that manipulated timing of breeding (2008, background): “Among great tits, this seems to happen in the majority of years (Daan et al. 1989; Verboven et al. 2001).”
Sharing of caring: nestling provisioning behaviour of long-tailed tit, Aegithalos caudatus, parents and helpers (2003, background): “We cannot rule out this possibility for long-tailed tits, but for ecologically similar insectivorous birds such as the parid tits, prey abundance peaks in the middle of the breeding season (Woodburn 1997; Verboven et al. 2001).”
TO DOUBLE-BROOD OR NOT? INDIVIDUAL VARIATION IN THE REPRODUCTIVE EFFORT IN BLACK-THROATED BLUE WARBLERS (DENDROICA CAERULESCENS) (2005, background): “In other species, food supplementation experiments have also resulted in an increase in double brooding (e.g. Davies and Lundberg 1984, Arcese and Smith 1988, Tinbergen and van Balen 1988, Dhindsa and Boag 1990; but see Verboven et al. 2001).”
Shifts in caterpillar biomass phenology due to climate change and its impact on the breeding biology of an insectivorous bird (2006, methodology): “Our results are in contrast to those of Verboven et al. (2001) who claim that there is such a relationship in Oosterhout and Marley Wood (UK), where birds are generally not mulibrooded, but not on the Hoge Veluwe and Vlieland (NL), where part of the birds use to be double-brooded.”
Climate change and population declines in a long-distance migratory bird (2006, methodology): “This species is known toproducemoresecondbroodsifthecaterpillarpeakislate 16 ,andthepercentage of second broods is thus a measure of whether caterpillar peaks are early or late.”
Food for thought: supplementary feeding as a driver of ecological change in avian populations (2008, background): “Provisioning during breeding may extend the season by allowing birds to lay early, decreasing the time needed to raise chicks to fledging, and shortening the interval between clutches (Verboven et al. 2001), potentially allowing more pairs to rear second broods.”
Shifts in phenology due to global climate change: the need for a yardstick (2005, background): “If they lay their eggs earlier or later, they fledge fewer and lighter offspring (Perrins & McCleery 1989; van Noordwijk et al. 1995; Verboven et al. 2001; Visser et al. in press b).”
