Predictors of Juvenile Survival in Birds (2013, background): “Sexual weight dimorphism is common in birds (Székely et al. 2007), including the subjects of some of the most influential studies in Table 1, such as Great Tits (males 6% heavier at fledging than females; Both et al. 1999).”
Can intrinsic factors explain population declines in North American breeding shorebirds? A comparative analysis (2006, background): “…for analyses including phylogenetically labile traits because standard species regressions fail to account for statistical non-independence due to phylogeny, whereas standard phylogenetic comparative techniques such as independent contrasts (Felsenstein, 1985) may over-compensate for phylogeny.”
Sexually distinct foraging strategies in an omnivorous seabird (2015, background): “Differences in parental care could be due to social dominance and competitive exclusion, niche specialisation or different reproductive roles, and these mechanisms might not be mutually exclusive (González-Solís et al. 2000; Phillips et al. 2004; Székely et al. 2007).”
