• Microevolutionary Response to Climatic Change (2004, background): “Low immunocompetence, which has been found to be associated with inbreeding in birds (Reid et al., 2003), may affect the timing of breeding, as recently shown in tree swallows Tachycineta bicolor (Hasselquist et al., 2001).”
• A long‐term study of reproductive performance in tree swallows: the influence of age and senescence on output (2001, background): “Elsewhere, we showed that females laid smaller clutches in years after having been forced to raise experimentally enlarged broods (Rendell 1999), and several other studies have found evidence indicating costs to breeding and brood size in this species (De Steven 1980;Wiggins 1990; Wheelwright, Leary”
