Are long‐distance migrant passerines faithful to their stopover sites? (2004, methodology): “Annual survival estimates were taken from Peach et al. (2001) .”
Viability of an endangered population of ortolan buntings: The effect of a skewed operational sex ratio (2006, background): “%) was high (see Botkin and Miller, 1974; Sæther, 1989; Dobson, 1990; Johnston et al., 1997; Siriwardena et al., 1998; Siriwardena et al., 1999; Peach et al., 2001 for reviews).”
Extended parental care and delayed dispersal: northern, tropical, and southern passerines compared (2004, background): “…assemblage, as shown for passerines of southern Africa; granivores laid larger clutches and lived relatively shorter lives than did insectivores or nectarivores, and Peach et al. (2001) suggested that this may be influenced by the effects of variable and unpredictable rainfall on seed availability.”
Late bloomers and baby boomers: ecological drivers of longevity in squamates and the tuatara (2015, background): “While it is difficult to evaluate the quality of food, African granivorous birds had shorter lives than insectivorous and nectarivorous birds consuming food with a lower fat content (Peach et al., 2001).”
