Impact of grassland farming intensification on the breeding ecology of an indicator insectivorous passerine, the Whinchat Saxicola rubetra: Lessons for overall Alpine meadowland management (2006, background): “As shown for other bird species, food items may be selected not only to maximize biomass brought to nestlings but also nutrient quality (Krebs and Avery, 1985; Naef-Daenzer et al., 2000 ).”
Bill dimorphism and foraging niche partitioning in the green woodhoopoe (2003, background): “Naef-Daenzer, Naef-Daenzer & Nager 2000 ) or because different prey are encountered by foraging on different substrate diameters or using different techniques.”
Carotenoid diet and nestling provisioning in urban and rural great tits Parus major (2007, background): “Both great tits and blue tits Parus caeruleus are usually single-prey loaders and show a linear relationship between feeding frequency and food delivered (Naef-Daenzer et al. 2000, Biard et al. 2005).”
Shifts in caterpillar biomass phenology due to climate change and its impact on the breeding biology of an insectivorous bird (2006, background): “We will focus on one of the more wellknown systems of great tits (Parus major) relying on caterpillars in oaks as the main food source for their nestlings (e.g. Naef-Daenzer et al. 2000; Perrins 1991).”
Nutritional composition of the preferred prey of insectivorous birds: popularity reflects quality (2015, unknown): “…for this variability in prey quality, preferring certain prey types to maximise energy intake (Kaspari and Joern 1993, McCarty and Winkler 1999), and switching prey when specifi c nutrients are required (Graveland and van Gijzen 1994, Graveland and Van Der Wal 1996, Naef-Daenzer et al. 2000).”
Body size evolution in insects with different colouration strategies: the role of predation risk (2009, unknown): “A few studies have compared the size of caterpillars provided to nestlings by adult birds with the average caterpillar size found in their habitats (Gibb and Betts 1963, Naef-Daenzer et al. 2000).”
The effect of habitat quality on foraging patterns, provisioning rate and nestling growth in Corsican Blue Tits Parus caeruleus (2004, background): “Spiders can also represent more then 75% of nestling diet, early in the season, before the emergence of caterpillars (Naef-Daenzer et al. 2000).”
