• Mate fidelity in monogamous birds: a re-examination of the Procellariiformes (2003, background): “…success has been associated with the retention of nest site and/or mate, even when confounding factors on reproductive performance, such as age and/or experience, were removed (e.g. Perrins & McCleery 1985; Bradley et al. 1990; Rees et al. 1996; Black 2001; Pyle et al. 2001; Wiktander et al. 2001).”
• Age‐specific reproductive performance in red‐billed choughs Pyrrhocorax pyrrhocorax: patterns and processes in a natural population (2003, unknown): “State variables other than age, including breeding experience, the time since territory occupation and pair-bond duration, can influence reproductive performance, reflecting very different biological phenomena (Pärt 1996, 2001; Cam & Monnat 2000; Black 2001; Pyle, Sydeman & Hester 2001).”
• TARGET ARTICLE: Selective Investment Theory: Recasting the Functional Significance of Close Relationships (2006, unknown): “For example, Black (2001) reports that barnacle geese with the longest pair bonds tend to produce the most offspring, and this finding holds even when the birds’ lifespan and proportion of life spent without a partner are controlled statistically.24 Family bonds and cooperative hunting and breeding…”
• Experimental evidence for a causal effect of pair-bond duration on reproductive performance in oystercatchers (Haematopus ostralegus) (2006, background): “A second type of alternative explanations suggests that a correlation at the population level between pair-bond duration and reproductive performance might reflect progressive changes in the phenotypic composition of a population (e.g., Black 2001 ).”
• An experiment on the function of the long-term pair bond period in the socially monogamous bearded reedling (2011, background): “Moreover, age and breeding experience are expected to covary with pair bond duration to determine a pair’s reproductive success (Bradley et al. 1990; Black 2001).”
