Journal Article
Pagani-Núñez, E., Hernández-Gómez, S., Riyahi, S., & Senar, J. (2014). Year-round preference for spiders by Mediterranean Great Tits Parus major. Ardeola, 61(2), 257-267. https://doi.org/10.13157/arla.61.2.2014.257

A key topic in foraging ecology is whether a particular prey type is consumed because it is more abundant or easier to catch, or because there is a specific preference for it. The great tit Parus major is an ideal species for studying this topic. Alt... Read More about Year-round preference for spiders by Mediterranean Great Tits Parus major.

Habitat structure and prey composition generate contrasting effects on carotenoid-based coloration of great tit Parus major nestlings (2014)
Journal Article
Pagani-Núñez, E., Uribe, F., Hernández-Gómez, S., Muñoz, G., & Senar, J. C. (2014). Habitat structure and prey composition generate contrasting effects on carotenoid-based coloration of great tit Parus major nestlings. Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 113(2), 547-555. https://doi.org/10.1111/bij.12352

Carotenoid-based coloration of nestling plumage is generally considered a reliable signal of quality and has consistently been related to habitat structure. The main hypothesis proposed to explain this correlation is that high quality habitats contai...

Wintering location and moult patterns of juvenile Common Chiffchaffs Phylloscopus collybita (2014)
Journal Article
Pagani-Núñez, E., Fregenal, J., Hernández-Gómez, S., & Domínguez-Santaella, M. (2014). Wintering location and moult patterns of juvenile Common Chiffchaffs Phylloscopus collybita. Bird Study, 61(2), 270-276. https://doi.org/10.1080/00063657.2014.907237

The pattern of moult of juvenile Common Chiffchaffs Phylloscopus collybita wintering in two distant localities of the Iberian Peninsula, Málaga (south) and Barcelona (north) differed. Individuals wintering in the northern locality moulted more contou... Read More about Wintering location and moult patterns of juvenile Common Chiffchaffs Phylloscopus collybita.
