Carry‐over effects occur when processes in one season influence the success of an
individual in the following season. This phenomenon has the potential to explain a large …

For altricial young, fledging is an abrupt step into an unknown environment. Despite
increasing numbers of studies addressing the post‐fledging period, our current knowledge …

Behavioral Ecology of Tropical Birds, Second Edition provides the most updated and
comprehensive review on the evolution of behavior in tropical landbirds. The book reviews …

Summary 1 We present a multivariate model of the post‐fledging survival of juvenile great
and coal tits (Parus major L., P. ater L.) in relation to chick body condition and timing of …

Increasing temperatures associated with climate change may generate phenological
mismatches that disrupt previously synchronous trophic interactions. Most work on mismatch …

More and more studies are demonstrating that populations of animals‐from herbivores to top
predators, vertebrates and invertebrates‐are limited by their food, and that the availability of …

We studied the nestling diet and the foraging performance of Great Tits in relation to prey
abundance in the field. Numerous experimental studies present data on foraging decisions …

Although interindividual variation in problem-solving ability is well documented, its relation
to variation in fitness in the wild remains unclear. We investigated the relationship between …

Variation in early nutrition is often a strong predictor of offspring condition and fitness. In the
case of woodland passerine birds, nestling diet is determined by the spatiotemporal …

Climate change is forecasted to generate a range of evolutionary changes and plastic
responses. One important aspect of avian responses to climate change is how weather …
