Life-History Evolution in Reptiles (2005, background): “Many avian and mammalian populations also exhibit demographic changes in response to environmental fluctuations (e.g., Hau et al. 2004) but reptiles may provide more dramatic examples.”
Reproduction in an endemic bird of a semiarid island: a food‐mediated process (2006, background): “Hau et al. (2004) have demonstrated that small ground finches (Geospiza spp.) in the Galápagos Islands respond to rainfall directly by starting gonad development and increasing production of sexual hormones such as LH.”
Opportunism at work: habitat predictability affects reproductive readiness in free‐living zebra finches (2007, unknown): “In north temperate seasonal breeders (Murton & Westwood 1977) and even in other opportunists studied to date (Hahn 1998; Deviche & Sharp 2001; MacDougall-Shackleton et al. 2001; Hau et al. 2004b ), this reduction is ubiquitous.”
