• Effects of structural and functional habitat gaps on breeding woodland birds: working harder for less (2008, background): “Both species also feed their young principally on tree-dwelling lepidopteran larvae (Perrins 1979; Perrins 1991) and the availability of caterpillars influences many aspects of tit breeding ecology including chick growth, survival and recruitment (Haywood and Perrins 1992; Keller and van Noordwijk 1”
• Carotenoid diet and nestling provisioning in urban and rural great tits Parus major (2007, background): “In great tits, the importance of caterpillars for successful breeding is well-known (van Balen 1973, Perrins 1991, Naef-Daenzer and Keller 1999, Rytkönen and Krams 2003, but see also Barba and Gil-Delgado 1990).”
