The Energetic Costs of Nest Building in Birds (2013, background): “Other observational evidence for nest building being an energetically and temporally expensive activity is suggested by the positive relationship between the body condition of the building parent (Moreno et al., 1994; Lens et al., 1994; Fargallo et al., 2001; Tomás et al., 2006; Mainwaring et al., 2”
First‐egg date and air temperature affect nest construction in Blue Tits Cyanistes caeruleus, but not in Great Tits Parus major (2011, background): “In Blue Tits, mass of the nest also correlates with female quality (Mainwaring et al. 2008) and health (Tomás et al. 2006) and even supplementary feeding affects nest mass and composition (Mainwaring & Hartley 2009).”
Latitudinal variation in blue tit and great tit nest characteristics indicates environmental adjustment (2012, result): “For example, previous studies have shown that the size of the nest reflects the condition of the building female (blue tits: Tomás et al., 2006; Mainwaring et al., 2008; Mainwaring & Hartley, 2009; great tits: Alabrudzińska et al., 2003; Broggi & Senar, 2009) and that the mass of the cup lining…”
