Journal ArticleDOI
Energetic and fitness costs of mismatching resource supply and demand in seasonally breeding birds.
TL;DR: Evidence is provided that the economics of parental foraging and limits to sustainable metabolic effort are key selective forces underlying synchronized seasonal breeding and long-term shifts in breeding date in response to climatic change.
Journal ArticleDOI
Blue tits use selected plants and olfaction to maintain an aromatic environment for nestlings
TL;DR: It is shown that blue tits on the island of Corsica (Parus caeruleus ogliastrae) adorn their nests with fragments of aromatic plants, supporting predictions of the nest protection hypothesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of habitat quality on foraging patterns, provisioning rate and nestling growth in Corsican Blue Tits Parus caeruleus
Isabelle Tremblay,Isabelle Tremblay,Donald W. Thomas,Donald W. Thomas,Jacques Blondel,Philippe Perret,Marcel M. Lambrechts +6 more
TL;DR: It is argued that relationships between habitat richness, offspring quality and breeding success cannot be understood adequately without quantifying parental effort.
Journal ArticleDOI
Habitat Heterogeneity and Life-History Variation of Mediterranean Blue Tits (Parus Caeruleus)
TL;DR: The apparent maladaptation of tits in these evergreen mainland habitats is hypothesized to result from an asymmetric gene flow between rich deciduous habitats (source), where well-adapted birds produce many fledglings, and poor evergreen habitats (sink), where the density is maintained through immigration from rich habitats.
Journal ArticleDOI
Feeding ecology and life history variation of the blue tit in Mediterranean deciduous and sclerophyllous habitats.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the differences in feeding ecology of the blue tit between the mainland and the island of Corsica and found that the food items brought to the nestlings were much more diverse on Corsica than on the mainland, including many fewer caterpillars and a wider range of taxa.
