Competitor density cues for habitat quality facilitating habitat selection and investment decisions (2008, background): “Date of the first egg partly reflects adult quality and correlates negatively with offspring investment (Klomp 1970) and was therefore included in analyses of offspring investment.”
The effect of climate change on the correlation between avian life‐history traits (2005, background): “One of the life-history variables that changes simultaneously with LD is clutch size (Lack, 1966; Klomp, 1970; Daan et al., 1988; Winkler et al., 2002).”
How great tits maintain synchronization of their hatch date with food supply in response to long-term variability in temperature (2003, background): “Kluijver 1951; Forchhammer, Post & Stenseth 1998), clutch size (Klomp 1970; Daan et al. 1988; Perrins & McCleery 1989), incubation scheduling (e.”
Optimal sex allocation: Steps towards a mechanistic theory (2002, background): “Since it takes time for the next egg to reach the same developmental stage, this means of manipulating the sex ratio may result in a later laying date, which in turn may be detrimental to the survival of offspring (Klomp 1970).”
Extended parental care and delayed dispersal: northern, tropical, and southern passerines compared (2004, background): “A review by Martin (1996) summarized the general view that birds of the tropics have smaller clutches (Klomp, 1970; Lack, 1947; Moreau, 1944; Murray, 1985; Yom-Tov et al., 1994), have longer incubation and fledging periods (Lack, 1968; Ricklefs, 1968; Skutch, 1949; but see Geffen and Yom-Tov,…”
Mechanisms and fitness effects of interspecific information use between migrant and resident birds (2007, background): “Quick habitat selection is important for migrants because their breeding success rapidly declines with delayed onset of breeding (Klomp 1970).”
Factors influencing the clutch size, number of broods and annual fecundity of North American and European land birds (2000, background): “Furthermore, clutch size increases with latitude (Lack, 1947; Klomp, 1970; Ricklefs, 1980).”
Arrival timing and seasonal reproductive performance in a long-distance migratory landbird (2004, background): “This prediction reflects the increased probability of offspring successfully entering the breeding population if fledged early (Klomp 1970; Perrins and McCleery 1989).”
Sharing of caring: nestling provisioning behaviour of long-tailed tit, Aegithalos caudatus, parents and helpers (2003, background): “The positive relation that we found between brood size and provisioning rate at unhelped nests has been observed many times in passerine birds, and it is normal for nestlings in larger broods to receive less food per individual (Klomp 1970).”
Climate change, migratory connectivity and changes in laying date and clutch size of the pied flycatcher (2006, background): “Timing of breeding is strongly associated with clutch size and the future recruitment probability of the offspring (Lack 1968, Klomp 1970, von Haartman 1971); clutch size in itself sets a limit to the number of offspring parents can produce during that breeding attempt.”
THE SHELF LIFE OF BIRD EGGS: TESTING EGG VIABILITY USING A TROPICAL CLIMATE GRADIENT (2005, background): “Latitudinal and seasonal declines in clutch size, which are widespread in birds (Lack 1968, Klomp 1970, Skutch 1985, Stutch- bury and Robertson 1988, Perrins and McCleery 1989), may occur partly because the benefits of laying additional eggs are offset by the decline in hatchability with increasing…”
