• Ecology of spring-migrating Anatidae: a review (2006, unknown): “Long-term fluctuations in body condition are sometimes related to population trends, as shown by Anteau and Afton (2004) in lesser scaup A. affinis.”
• Can conditions experienced during migration limit the population levels of birds? (2006, background): “Widespread decline in the numbers of lesser scaup in North America has been linked with females arriving on breeding areas in poorer condition than before (Anteau and Afton 2004).”
• Phenotypic changes in spring arrival: evolution, phenotypic plasticity, effects of weather and condition (2007, background): “This reduction in body reserves may have resulted in a clutch size reduction of 4 to 5 eggs (Anteau & Afton 2004).”
