Latitudinal variation in blue tit and great tit nest characteristics indicates environmental adjustment (2012, methodology): “While nest architecture appears to vary in response to environmental conditions at small spatial scales, such as within a study area (Kern & van Riper, 1984; McGowan et al., 2004; Mainwaring & Hartley, 2008; Mennerat et al., 2009a; Britt & Deeming, 2011), we predict that nest characteristics should ”
An Overview of the Factors Influencing the Morphology and Thermal Properties of Avian Nests (2013, background): “Nest material composition (Møller, 1984; Mainwaring and Hartley, 2008; Britt and Deeming, 2011), material quantity (Collias and Collias, 1971; Møller, 1987; Soler et al., 1998a; McGowan et al., 2004) and structure (Franklin, 1995; Herranz et al.”
Local Temperature and not Latitude Determines the Design of Blue Tit and Great Tit nests (2012, methodology): “Nests were then collected within two weeks of fledging, immediately placed in sealed and labelled plastic bags, and transported to Lancaster University where the insulatory property of each nest (in ºC/20 s) was determined using iButtons (following McGowan et al., 2004).”
