Seasonal changes in the diet of a critically endangered seabird and the importance of trawling discards (2009, background): “incubation relating to the egg formation (Williams 2005).”
Physiological condition and immune function in great tits (Parus major L.): sources of variation and trade-offs in relation to growth (2006, background): “Specifically, I addressed the following questions: Under the hypothesis that increased egg-laying effort leads to deterioration of antioxidant protection and general health state (Blount et al. 2004; Williams 2005), I predicted that females induced to lay extra eggs reveal lower levels of antioxidan”
Immune activity suppresses reproduction in food‐limited female tree lizards Urosaurus ornatus (2007, background): “In Uta stansburiana , a closely related species, a trade-off between egg size and number has also been identified (Sinervo & Licht 1991a, 1991b; Williams 2005), and we therefore wanted to account for both.”
Age and sexual differences in the exploitation of two anthropogenic food resources for an opportunistic seabird (2010, background): “on the breeding period: during egg formation, Wsheries discards do not necessarily meet the required energetic demand of females (Williams 2005; Navarro et al. 2009).”
Biological carryover effects: linking common concepts and mechanisms in ecology and evolution (2014, unknown): “Indeed, the physiological systems that directly control reproduction might generate trade-offs and long-term carryover effects (Barnes and Partridge 2003, Partridge et al. 2005, Williams 2005, Harshman and Zera 2006, Williams 2012).”
Individual quality and food availability determine yolk and egg mass and egg composition in tree swallows Tachycineta bicolor (2006, background): “phenotypic variation in egg quality ( Williams 2000, 2005 ).”
Individual optimization of reproduction in a long‐lived migratory bird: a test of the condition‐dependent model of laying date and clutch size (2011, background): “…eider reproductive effort as a larger clutch is more expensive to produce and to incubate (Erikstad & Tveraa 1995; Thomson,Monaghan & Furness 1998; Williams 2005), and eiders producing large clutches are more likely to complete the incubation (Bourgeon et al. 2006) and less likely to abandon…”
