Inter‐specific variation in avian responses to human disturbance (2005, methodology): “For instance, many different ecological, behavioural and life-history traits are associated with body size (Gaston & Blackburn 2000; Bennett & Owens 2002). We used body size to illustrate the predictive power of certain traits to explain variation in species’ tolerance to disturbance and make specif”
Predators and the breeding bird: behavioral and reproductive flexibility under the risk of predation (2009, background): “This comparative emphasis in the study of breeding birds is certainly well placed, as much behavioural and life-history variation in birds is expressed among species and at broader taxonomic/phylogenetic levels (e.g. Bennett & Owens, 2002).”
Breaking the Social–Non‐social Dichotomy: A Role for Reptiles in Vertebrate Social Behavior Research? (2013, background): “…incidence of large, stable aggregations, the complexity of the interactions within these social groupings, the prevalence of pro- longed parental care of neonates, and the high level of social deception in some groups (Tinbergen 1953; Wilson 1975; Bennett & Owens 2002; Krause & Ruxton 2002).”
Post‐Eocene climate change, niche conservatism, and the latitudinal diversity gradient of New World birds (2006, background): “The underlying mechanism is the conservation of morphological, biological and ecological traits of species within higher-level clades as they radiate (Wiens & Donoghue, 2004), a phenomenon well established for birds ( Bennett & Owens, 2002 ).”
The roles of body size and phylogeny in fast and slow life histories (2009, background): “…1988; Duarte and Alcaraz 1989; Gaillard et al. 1989; Read and Harvey 1989; Elgar 1990; Blackburn 1991; Franco and Silvertown 1996; Sæther et al. 1996; Heppell et al. 2000; Ricklefs 2000; Sæther and Bakke 2000; Fisher et al. 2001; Bennett and Owens 2002; Oli 2004; but see also Bielby et al. 2007).”
Prevalence of different modes of parental care in birds (2006, background): “(a) Male only care It has proved extremely difficult to identify a common pattern between the groups in which males are the predominant carers (Oring 1986; Clutton-Brock 1991; Andersson 1995, 2005; Ligon 1999; Bennett & Owens 2002).”
Predation in bird populations (2011, background): “Certain niches will allow escape from predation hazard more readily than others (Partridge and Barton 1993; Bennett and Owens 2002): adult seabirds foraging at very low density may avoid predators completely, whereas adult gamebirds that forage in dense predator concealing cover may not be able to…”
Extra pair paternity in birds: a review of interspecific variation and adaptive function (2002, background): “Many hypotheses have been put forward to explain interspecific variation in the level of EPP, but until recently there has been relatively little success in identifying robust biological correlates of this interspecific variation (Birkhead & Møller 1996; Ligon 1999; Bennett & Owens 2002).”
Melanin- versus carotenoid-based sexual signals : is the difference really so black and red? (2006, methodology): “Although these authors cautioned that their sample sizes are too small to extrapolate this result too widely (Owens & Hartley 1998; Bennett & Owens 2002), it is clear that the application of wide-ranging comparative studies will be important for teasing out general patterns and focusing future…”
Big brains, enhanced cognition, and response of birds to novel environments. (2005, background): “This high variation is likely to have further facilitated the detection of clear patterns, emphasizing the utility of adopting a hierarchical approach (66) in future analyses of brain evolution.”
Developing an evolutionary ecology of fear : how life history and natural history traits affect disturbance tolerance in birds (2006, methodology): “In birds (Newton 1998; Bennett & Owens 2002) and mammals (Wootton 1987), there is a positive relation between body size and age of first reproduction.”
