• Recent changes in body weight and wing length among some British passerine birds (2006, background): “Shorter, and thus rounder, wings enable higher maneuverability that is required for birds inhabiting woodland (Alatalo et al. 1984).”
• Experimental evidence of reciprocal altruism in the pied flycatcher (2008, background): “All of the males and most of the females observed in this study were yearling individuals (Karlsson et al. 1986; Ojanen 1987; Alatalo et al. 1984).”
