The role of nest sites in limiting the numbers of hole-nesting birds: a review
I Newton - Biological conservation, 1994 - Elsevier
The breeding densities of many bird-species which nest in tree cavities are in some areas
limited by shortage of sites. This is evident from circumstantial evidence in which the …

The evolutionary consequences of interspecific aggression
Competition has always been a cornerstone of evolutionary biology, and aggression is the
predominant form of direct competition in animals, but the evolutionary effects of aggression …

Laying dates and clutch size in the great tit
CM Perrins, RH McCleery - The Wilson Bulletin, 1989 - JSTOR
During the course of 40 years of observations, we found that the mean date at which a
population of Great Tits (Parus major) starts to lay varies from 10 April to 10 May. Clutch size …

Great tits growing old: selective disappearance and the partitioning of senescence to stages within the breeding cycle
S Bouwhuis, BC Sheldon… - Proceedings of the …, 2009 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Deterioration of reproductive traits with age is observed in an increasing number of species.
Although such deterioration is often attributed to reproductive senescence, a within …

Population biology of cavity nesters in northern Arizona: do nest sites limit breeding densities?
JD Brawn, RP Balda - The Condor, 1988 - academic.oup.com
Breeding densities of secondary (ie, nonexcavating) cavity-nesting birds are often assumed
to be limited by availability of nest sites. We investigated this assumption for species …

A review of the impacts of invasive wild pigs on native vertebrates
The wild pig (Sus scrofa) is a successful invasive species that has become well established
outside of its native range in Eurasia. The invasive wild pig is the result of released or …
