Sociable schedules: interplay between avian seasonal and social behaviour (2006, background): “24 0003e3472/06/$30.00/0 2006 The Association for the S major, and blue tits, Cyanistes caeruleus, time their clutches precisely to capitalize on the narrow peak in the availability of their primary nestling food, caterpillars (e.g. Perrins 1970; Visser et al. 1998).”
The timing of birds' breeding seasons: a review of experiments that manipulated timing of breeding (2008, background): “The fitness consequences of variation in timing of reproduction have been described extensively since the seminal paper by Perrins (1970), and on the descriptive level (as opposed to the experimental level), we therefore have good knowledge of seasonal patterns in reproductive success.”
Warming climate advances breeding and improves synchrony of food demand and food availability in a boreal passerine (2011, background): “In birds, timing of breeding is an important fitnessrelated life-history trait (e.g. Perrins, 1970; Dunn, 2004).”
