Environmental Effects on Parental Care Visitation Patterns in Blue Tits Cyanistes caeruleus
In bi-parental care systems each parent shares benefits with its unrelated partner from the
common investment in offspring, but pays an individual cost of providing that care, leading to …

Elevational gradients as a model for understanding associations among temperature, breeding phenology and success
Climate change is associated with advancing phenology of seasonal traits in many taxa, but
shifts by higher trophic levels are generally reduced compared with those of lower trophic …

Great tits who remember more accurately have difficulty forgetting, but variation is not driven by environmental harshness
The causes of individual variation in memory are poorly understood in wild animals. Harsh
environments with sparse or rapidly changing food resources are hypothesized to favour …

Altitudinal differences in foraging decisions under predation risk in great tits
Foraging decisions under risk of predation are crucial for survival as predation risk can
contribute to a reduction of food intake over time leading to a trade-off between starvation …

Flexible responses to stage‐specific offspring threats
S Britton, B Ballentine - Ecology and Evolution, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
When caring for their young, parents must compensate for threats to offspring survival in a
manner that maximizes their lifetime reproductive success. In birds, parents respond to …

Foraging plasticity variation in wild great tits along contrasted ecological habitats
T Crouchet - 2023 - theses.hal.science
Phenotypic plasticity, and in particular its behavioral component, is considered to be a key
trait that could help organisms facing the diversity of challenges from their environment and …
