SEX‐ AND AGE‐RELATED VARIATION IN SURVIVAL AND COST OF FIRST REPRODUCTION IN GREATER FLAMINGOS (2001, background): “The evaluation of selective pressures that reduce survival, such as a cost of reproduction, requires accurate estimates of adult survival (Clobert 1995, Boulinier et al. 1997), even within manipulative studies (Nur 1988a, 1990).”
Age‐specific survival and reproductive performances in fur seals: evidence of senescence and individual quality (2006, background): “2) suggests that younger age-classes included a higher proportion of lower quality individuals, which are likely to face higher costs of reproduction (Curio 1983, Nur 1988, Cam and Monnat 2000).”
Apparent inferiority of first‐time breeders in the kittiwake: the role of heterogeneity among age classes (2000, background): “Age-specific reproductive strategies might be optimal within quality groups (Nur 1988; McNamara & Houston 1992, 1996; Cichofi, Oljniczak & Gustafsson 1998; Pettifor, Perrins & McCleery 1998), while they appear suboptimnal in heterogeneous groups such as populations.”
Variation in survivorship of a migratory songbird throughout its annual cycle (2002, background): “1998), and reproductive effort can impact adult survival rates in some songbird species (Nur 1988; McCleery et al .”
