Age‐related environmental sensitivity and weather mediated nestling mortality in white storks Ciconia ciconia (2004, unknown): “foraging efficiency of parents (Dawson and Bortolotti 2000).”
Stand scale effects of partial harvesting and clearcutting on small mammals and forest structure (2004, unknown): “…mature forests may be beneficial to small mammals and associated predators such as American marten (Payer and Harrison, 2003), American kestrels (Falco sparverius) (Dawson and Bortolotti, 2000), and ospreys (Pandion haliaetus) (Chubbs and Trimper, 1998) that utilize small mammals as principal prey.”
Weather dictates reproductive success and survival in the Australian brown falcon Falco berigora (2004, background): “Moreover, most studies have been on raptor species which are either migratory (e.g. Newton 1986; Dawson & Bortolotti 2000) or have a *Correspondence and present address: School of Biological Sciences, University of Wales, Bangor, Gwynedd LL57 2UW, UK.”
The effect of weather on lesser kestrel breeding success: can climate change explain historical population declines? (2003, background): “Heavy rainfall in spring could deteriorate foraging conditions or prey availability for the kestrels before egg laying, as it has been observed in other raptor species (Rijnsdorp et al. 1981; Dawson & Bortolotti 2000).”
