Citations in the corpus

• First‐egg date and air temperature affect nest construction in Blue Tits Cyanistes caeruleus, but not in Great Tits Parus major (2011, background): “Hilton et al. (2004) constructed artificial nests of a variety of natural materials and used Domestic Fowl Gallus gallus domesticus eggs to determine rates of cooling.”
• NEST WEIGHT AND FEMALE HEALTH IN THE BLUE TIT (CYANISTES CAERULEUS) (2006, background): “…studies to obtain more detailed data on the type and relative amounts of the various nesting materials that constitute the diff erent nest layers, because the diff erent layers and materials have diff erent properties and could diff er in terms of building or transport costs (Hilton et al. 2004).”
• An Overview of the Factors Influencing the Morphology and Thermal Properties of Avian Nests (2013, background): “Reducing air movement over birds moderates their convective heat loss and this can be achieved by using sheltered microsites such as cavities and domed nests (With and Webb, 1993; Hilton et al., 2004).”
