Phenotypic flexibility and the evolution of organismal design (2003, unknown): “Where environmental conditions vary in a temporarily predictable way, long-lived organisms can anticipate the changes by showing sequences of life-cycle stages [39,45].”
Regulation of Migration (2007, background): “Note that the progression of life history stages is one-way, has an invariant sequence, and is cyclic, usually on an annual basis (Jacobs and Wingfield 2000, Wingfield 2004).”
Behavioral and physiological conflicts in migrants: the transition between migration and breeding (2006, methodology): “We take a finite state machine approach ( Jacobs and Wingfield 2000 ) using the concept of life history stages, their characteristic sub-stages, and degree of overlap (Wingfield and Jacobs 1999) as a framework for a complex period in the life cycle.”
Local adaptation of timing of reproduction: females are in the driver's seat (2009, unknown): “As social factors usually play an important role in synchronizing male and female reproductive development within pairs (Moore 1982; Jacobs & Wingfield 2000; Moore et al . 2005), the early sexual development previously observed in males could trigger a similar early recrudescence of female reprodu”
