• The Evolution of Begging (2002, background): “When nestlings alter begging or aggression in relation to brood size, it is often suggested that brood size is a predictor of future hunger because parents do not adjust the amount of food in direct proportion to the number of young (Mock & Lamey 1991; Leonard et al. 2000).”
• Brood size, sibling competition and the cost of begging in great tits (Parus major) (2003, unknown): “, 1988; Verhulst and Tinbergen, 1997) and the begging intensity of nestlings (Leonard et al., 2000).”
• Size-mediated dominance and begging behaviour in Eurasian kestrel broods (2003, background): “Begging behaviour is expected to be energetically costly, as this display involves not only vocalizations, but also a physical effort through sibling competition for better positions with respect to the parents (e.g. Anderson et al., 1993; Leonard et al., 2000).”
