A review of the direct and indirect effects of neonicotinoids and fipronil on vertebrate wildlife (2014, background): “…evidence for birds in particular (Simons and Martin 1990; Johansson and Blomqvist 1996; Brickle et al. 2000; Moller 2001; Hole et al. 2002; Nagy and Holmes 2004, 2005; Boatman et al. 2004; Morris et al. 2005; Britschgi et al. 2006; Hart et al. 2006; Zanette et al. 2006; Golawski and…”
Food availability affects diurnal nest predation and adult antipredator behaviour in song sparrows, Melospiza melodia (2006, background): “Most studies have examined the effects of food on adult behaviour at the nestling stage (Simons & Martin 1990; Ward & Kennedy 1996; Nagy & Holmes 2005), whereas behaviour during incubation and its effect on nest predation has largely been overlooked.”
Regulation of animal size by eNPP, Bergmann's rule, and related phenomena (2011, background): “Supplemental food for breeding temperate zone warblers increased the number of second broods, decreased the time females spent foraging, and increased the time they spent near the nest (Nagy and Holmes 2005), illustrating the critical importance of food availability even in areas with high eNPP.”
TO DOUBLE-BROOD OR NOT? INDIVIDUAL VARIATION IN THE REPRODUCTIVE EFFORT IN BLACK-THROATED BLUE WARBLERS (DENDROICA CAERULESCENS) (2005, background): “Experimental work with this species shows a mechanistic relationship between food and double brooding (Nagy and Holmes 2005).”
Climate envelope, life history traits and the resilience of birds facing global change (2007, background): “High initial food availability allows females to begin breeding early and avoid being time limited, but the availability of food later in the season allows for the production of second broods (Nagy & Holmes, 2005).”
Influence of Condition and Habitat use on Survival of Post-Fledging Songbirds (2011, background): “Further evidence for food-resource limitations late in the breeding season comes from experimental food supplementation increasing rates of double brooding (Nagy and Holmes 2005).”
Native plants improve breeding and foraging habitat for an insectivorous bird (2017, background): “Although our study focused on the breeding activity of a single species, > 96% of the terrestrial bird species in North America rear nestlings primarily on arthropod prey (derived from Dickinson, 1999) because of the amount and quality of nutrients needed for growth and reproduction (Martin, 1987; N”
Responses of insect pests, pathogens, and invasive plant species to climate change in the forests of northeastern North America: what can we predict? (2009, background): “From the perspective of neotropical migrant birds, the effect of warmer temperatures on forest caterpillars is de- monstrably positive: increased caterpillar abundance benefits fledglings and increases recruitment of new breeders in avian populations (Sillett et al. 2000; Nagy and Holmes 2005).”
Recent advances in understanding migration systems of New World land birds (2010, methodology): “JOHN FAABORG ET AL.16 Ecological Monographs Vol. 80, No. 1 R E V IE W S fecundity in this system was found to be food (Lepidoptera larvae) abundance, and this was verified through both food reduction (Rodenhouse and Holmes 1992) and food supplementation (Nagy and Holmes 2005a, b) experiments.”
