- Shifts in caterpillar biomass phenology due to climate change and its impact on the breeding biology of an insectivorous bird (2006, methodology): “For Oosterhout frass net data are available for the years 1957–1967 (van Balen 1973), 1986–1988 (Zandt 1994), 1996 and 2001–2004 (own data).”
- The timing of birds' breeding seasons: a review of experiments that manipulated timing of breeding (2008, background): “(v) Food availability The classic example of timing relative to the seasonal environment is the timing of breeding seasons of great tits relative to the annual peak in caterpillar abundance (Perrins 1965; van Balen 1973; Verboven et al. 2001).”
- Primeval conditions - what can we learn from them?: Lessons from primeval conditions (2007, background): “Locality Habitat Study years Frass mass Source Netherlands oak forest 1957–1966 0.12–1.89* van Balen (1973) Japan mixed forest 1994–1995 c. 0.10 Seki and Takano (1998) Switzerland oak forest 1989–1991 0.05–0.08 Zandt (1994) Switzerland deciduous forest 1997 c. 0.06 Fischbacher et al.

- Climate change and timing of avian breeding and migration throughout Europe (2007, background): “…to allow breeding at the optimal time, but recently the phenology at breeding areas has become progressively earlier as a result of climate change (Visser et al. 1998, 2006, Cresswell & McCleery 2003), and hence the optimal breeding date has changed (Visser et al. 1998, 2004, Both & Visser 2001).”

(1993) Stage-specific mortality of helicoverpaarmigera in 3 smallholder crops in kenya. Journal of Applied Ecology 30:640–653. V”
- The effect of habitat quality on foraging patterns, provisioning rate and nestling growth in Corsican Blue Tits Parus caeruleus (2004, background): “Because it is widely reported that breeding tits invest more then 90% of their active time foraging to provide food for their young (Gibb 1950, Van Balen 1973, Smith & Sweatman 1974), we assumed that each position reflected a possible feeding site.”
