Shifts in phenology due to global climate change: the need for a yardstick (2005, background): “B (2005) In species where the young search for their food themselves, such as golden plovers (Pluvialis apricaria), reproductive success also depends on the synchrony of hatching of their chicks with the phenology of the food, in this case adult tipulids (Tipulidae) (Pearce-Higgins & Yalden 2004).”
Has Prey Availability for Arctic Birds Advanced with Climate Change? Hindcasting the Abundance of Tundra Arthropods Using Weather and Seasonal Variations (2009, background): “Because of their slow locomotion, large size, and partial winglessness, tipulids are likely to be an important prey for chicks (Holmes and Pitelka, 1968; Pearce-Higgins and Yalden, 2004).”
Relationships between bird abundance and the composition and structure of moorland vegetation (2006, background): “…detailed information on the use of vegetation types through the breeding season has been derived from autecological studies, but these are relatively rare on moorlands, involving a small number of species and locations (Palmer & Bacon 2001, Whittingham et al. 2001, Pearce-Higgins & Yalden 2004).”
Shifts in caterpillar biomass phenology due to climate change and its impact on the breeding biology of an insectivorous bird (2006, background): “In many taxa the main variable determining reproductive success is the abundance of prey items (e.g. Dias and Blondel 1996; Durant et al. 2003; Pearce-Higgins and Yalden 2004; van Noordwijk et al. 1995; Verboven et al. 2001) affecting also the workload of the adults (Thomas et al. 2001).”
The effect of recreational disturbance on an upland breeding bird, the golden plover Pluvialis apricaria (2005, background): “This pattern of habitat use reflects the distribution of tipulid larvae, caterpillars and beetles, which are the main prey items in the diet of golden plover chicks (Whittingham et al., 2001; Pearce-Higgins and Yalden, 2004).”
Impacts of climate on prey abundance account for fluctuations in a population of a northern wader at the southern edge of its range (2010, methodology): “The total number of craneflies in any 1 year was estimated from the equation in Fig. 1b, based on data from the three Pennines sites, including Snake Summit, which were collected in the same way (line-transects) as the cranefly data that underpin Eqn (1) ( Pearce-Higgins & Yalden, 2004 ).”
