• Has Prey Availability for Arctic Birds Advanced with Climate Change? Hindcasting the Abundance of Tundra Arthropods Using Weather and Seasonal Variations (2009, background): “Although not yet investigated in arctic areas, similar correlations between arthropod abundance and chick growth have also been demonstrated in passerines (Hart et al. 2006).”
• Insecticides Mode of Action in Relation to Their Toxicity to Non-Target Organisms (2012, background): “Indeed, insecticides can alter the ecological structure of earthworms and arthropod communities in the soil [4,5] and around crops [6], thus affecting birds and other vertebrates that feed on these organisms [7].”
• Ecological impacts of early 21st century agricultural change in Europe--a review. (2009, background): “…partridge, invertebrate food abundance influences chick condition of skylark in the UK, and for yellowhammer, the number of chicks fledging is affected by pesticide use in relation to the proportion of the foraging area around the nest that was sprayed (Boatman et al., 2004; Hart et al., 2006).”
• A review of the direct and indirect effects of neonicotinoids and fipronil on vertebrate wildlife (2014, background): “abundance and availability) is widely accepted as affecting habitat selection, reproductive success and survival in vertebrates, with extensive supporting evidence for birds in particular (Simons and Martin 1990; Johansson and Blomqvist 1996; Brickle et al. 2000; Moller 2001; Hole et al. 2002; Nagy ”
• BirdTrends 2014: trends in numbers, breeding success and survival for UK breeding birds (2014, background): “Hart et al. (2006) also demonstrated how insecticide applications can depress Yellowhammer breeding productivity.”
