From individual behaviour to population pattern: weather-dependent foraging and breeding performance in black kites (2003, background): “The effect of weather can be direct, for example by altering metabolic costs (e.g. Machmer & Ydenberg 1990), and indirect, for example by affecting food availability and abundance (e.g. Grant et al. 2000).”
What can we learn from resource pulses? (2008, background): “Gibbs, H. L., and P. R. Grant.”
Adaptive phenotypic plasticity and resilience of vertebrates to increasing climatic unpredictability. (2010, methodology): “In the Galápagos Islands, the reproduction of Darwin finches has been documented for over 22 yr, including 4 El Niño events (medium ground finch Geospiza fortis and cactus finch G. scandens, Grant et al. 2000).”
Reproduction in an endemic bird of a semiarid island: a food‐mediated process (2006, methodology): “Overall, results suggest that the Canary Islands Stonechat can be considered as a seasonal opportunistic breeder responding to favourable conditions by producing larger clutches and prolonging the breeding season (Grant et al. 2000).”
The effect of weather on lesser kestrel breeding success: can climate change explain historical population declines? (2003, background): “It is to be expected that rainfall will have a net positive effect on fecundity in arid climates by influencing food abundance (Sillet, Holmes & Sherry 2000), and recent studies with passerines (Grant et al. 2000; Morrison & Bolger 2002) indicate that this is so.”
Rapid evolution and the convergence of ecological and evolutionary time (2005, background): “…the Grants and their colleagues have understandably focused on years of marked directional evolution (e.g. Boag & Grant 1981; Grant & Grant 1993, 1995; Grant et al. 2000), Grant & Grant (2002) have also reported values for selection differentials in other years where evolution was less dramatic.”
