• Reproduction in an endemic bird of a semiarid island: a food‐mediated process (2006, background): “Suppression of reproduction in years of scarce rainfall and low food supply is characteristic of birds in arid ecosystems (Boag and Grant 1984, Wiens 1991, Lloyd 1999, Tieleman 2002, Bolger et al. 2005).”
• Helpers in colonial cooperatively breeding sociable weavers Philetairus socius contribute to buffer the effects of adverse breeding conditions (2008, unknown): “In these arid regions, food availability is closely dependent on rainfall over the previous month (Dean and Milton 2001; see also Maclean 1973c; Lloyd 1999).”
