In altricial birds, parents are assumed to optimize the total food delivery to the brood given
the time constraints set by self-feeding and food collecting. Older nestlings may require more …

Camera recording and video analysis have emerged as a successful non‐invasive method
for collecting a wide range of biological data on many different taxa of animals. However …

The harvest mouse is a prey item for numerous vertebrates in various habitats, ranging from

in vertebrates. It has been shown that the reproductive success of birds of prey is closely …

Based on a long-term dataset (1999–2010), we investigated how the availability of main
prey affects the breeding density and food ecology of the Tengmalm's owl (Aegolius …

In diurnal bird species, individuals breeding at high latitudes have larger broods than at
lower latitudes, which has been linked to differences in the daily time available for foraging …
