- The adaptive value of energy storage and capital breeding in seasonal environments (2009, background): “In seasonal environments peak offspring fitness is typically early in the feeding season (Verhulst and Nilsson 2008).”
- Individual optimization of reproduction in a long‐lived migratory bird: a test of the condition‐dependent model of laying date and clutch size (2011, background): “…in bird species living in seasonal environments, hatching success and offspring post-hatching survival are generally higher for individuals that reproduce early compared to late (e.g. Perrins 1970), typically because the environment is less favourable later in the season (Verhulst & Nilsson 2008).”
- Shifts in phenology due to global climate change: the need for a yardstick (2005, background): “One of the food chains with the best studied phenology is the oak (Quercus robur)–winter moth (Opheroptera brumata)–great tit (Parus major) system (Perrins 1970; Visser et al. 1998; Buse et al. 1999), which is typical for a whole group of small insectivorous forest birds.”
- Local adaptation of timing of reproduction: females are in the driver's seat (2009, neutral): “However, because egg laying and incubation periods are largely constrained by high energetic and fitness costs (Perrins 1970; Monaghan & Nager 1997; Monaghan et al. 1998; Bryan & Bryant 1999; Visser & Lessells 2001; Vezina & Williams 2005), and because females of many bird species carry most of…”
- Effects of climate change and fisheries bycatch on Southern Ocean seabirds : a review (2012, neutral): “A brood that hatches later than ex pected may suffer from higher environmental deterioration, such as resource depletion, competition, or predation risk for the offspring (e.g. Lack 1968, Verhulst & Nilsson 2008).”
- Local variation in weather conditions influences incubation behavior and temperature in a passerine bird (2015, background): “…than later in the reproductive season has the additional advantages of predator avoidance, reduced competition, increased probability of double-brooding, and increased chances of successfully producing a replacement brood (Dunn 1977, Nilsson 1984, Monroe et al. 2008, Verhulst and Nilsson 2008).”
