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): “Female eider ducks are also known to skip reproductive events sometimes (Coulson 1984).”
Winter climate affects subsequent breeding success of common eiders (2006, background): “Nonbreeding is common in eiders, and is assumed to be linked to insufficient body reserves for breeding ( Coulson, 1984 ).”
Age‐specific survival and reproductive performances in fur seals: evidence of senescence and individual quality (2006, background): “Hence, these results do not confirm the hypothesis considering the non-breeding state as an alternative strategy to enhance residual reproductive value (Coulson 1984, Wooller et al. 1990, Orell et al. 1994).”
