• Viability of an endangered population of ortolan buntings: The effect of a skewed operational sex ratio (2006, background): “…Siriwardena et al., 2000), and juvenile and adult survival have been implicated in the declines of several species found in farmland habitat (Thomson et al., 1997; Peach et al., 1999; Siriwardena et al., 1999; Bradbury et al., 2000; Bro et al., 2000; Freeman and Crick, 2003; Robinson et al., 2004).”
• BirdTrends 2014: trends in numbers, breeding success and survival for UK breeding birds (2014, background): “It is likely that a reduction in food supply would adversely affect the survival of juvenile birds to a greater extent than adult birds, as appears to be the case (Robinson et al. 2004).”
• Integrating demographic data: towards a framework for monitoring wildlife populations at large spatial scales (2014, methodology): “A combination of large and small-scale studies have previously suggested that population declines in song thrush have been primarily driven by changes in survival of juvenile birds, either in the nest (post-hatching) or in their firstwinter (Peach, Robinson & Murray 2004; Robinson et al. 2004), whil”
• Influence of Condition and Habitat use on Survival of Post-Fledging Songbirds (2011, background): “Recent studies have documented high rates of mortality of fledgling songbirds, which often exceed 50% (Sullivan 1989, Anders et al. 1997) and profoundly affect population demography (Robinson et al. 2004), making the period after fledging a critical stage in the avian life cycle.”
