Does ambient noise affect growth and begging call structure in nestling birds (2008, background): “For mass, which increases curvilinearly with age ( McCarty 2001 ), we included a quadratic component, together with its interaction with treatment.”
The number of visits to the nest by parents is an accurate measure of food delivered to nestlings in Tree Swallows (2002, background): “Pairs at Unit Two tended to deliver fewer but larger insects on each visit (especially odonates; McCarty 1995) while those at Unit One delivered larger numbers of smaller insects, so that the total biomass delivered/visit was similar at the two sites.”
Individual quality mediates trade‐offs between reproductive effort and immune function in tree swallows (2005, methodology): “…Growth rate from day 4 to day 12 was calculated as the growth rate constant K of a logistic growth function (Starck & Ricklefs 1998) for three nestling measures: primary wing feather, tarsus and head–bill measurements, an approach used previously for tree swallows (Zach & Mayoh 1982; McCarty 2001).”
Parental allocation of food to nestling tree swallows: the influence of nestling behaviour, sex and paternity (2003, background): “McCarty (2001) showed that this assumption does not hold for tree swallows, because nestlings that suffered delayed growth during the nestling period were less likely to survive and recruit, even though they reached the same fledging mass as nestlings that did not experience delayed growth.”
Blood parameters as indicators of physiological condition and skeletal development in great tits (Parus major): natural variation and application in the reproductive ecology of birds (2007, background): “Alternatively, under circumstances of premature forced-fledging, chicks from broods with slow average growth rate may suffer costs (e.g., fledglings with shorter wings are weaker flyers; McCarty 2001).”
POSTFLEDGING SURVIVAL AND MOVEMENT IN DICKCISSELS (SPIZA AMERICANA): IMPLICATIONS FOR HABITAT MANAGEMENT AND CONSERVATION (2007, background): “Variables Affecting Survival Nestling growth is oft en used as an indicator of body condition, and low postfl edging survival is generally associated with smaller birds (reviewed by McCarty 2001).”
