Natural selection and animal personality (2005, background): “…in these environments (Figure 1), the overall pattern of selection turned out to be stabilising (Dingemanse et al., 2004): Adults of intermediate phenotype had highest offspring recruitment rates in most years, as masting of beeches occurs only about once every three years (Perdeck et al., 2000).”
Fitness consequences of avian personalities in a fluctuating environment (2004, background): “Beech masting results both in more relaxed competition for food during winter and in increased competition for territory space in the following spring because both juvenile and adult survivals are higher in years with beech masting (Van Balen 1980; Perdeck et al. 2000).”
BirdTrends 2014: trends in numbers, breeding success and survival for UK breeding birds (2014, background): “Perdeck et al. (2000) provided further evidence for this as supplemental food increased survival of both juveniles and adults, supporting the winter-food limitation hypothesis.”
Keeping up with a warming world; assessing the rate of adaptation to climate change (2008, background): “However, there is no clear decline in population numbers, probably because population density is strongly affected by winter food in the form of beech nuts (Perdeck et al. 2000).”
Global Climate Change Leads to Mistimed Avian Reproduction (2004, background): “This might be because winter food conditions have an overriding effect on population numbers, mainly via the survival probability for birds in their first winter (Perdeck et al., 2000; Visser et al., submitted).”
