The diet of great tit nestlings: Comparing observation records and stable isotope analyses (2016)
Journal Article
Pagani-Núñez, E., Renom, M., Mateos-Gonzalez, F., Cotín, J., & Senar, J. C. (2017). The diet of great tit nestlings: Comparing observation records and stable isotope analyses. Basic and Applied Ecology, 18, 57-66. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.baae.2016.11

The diet of wild animals has been studied using many different strategies, approaches and methods in recent decades. In this regard, stable isotopes analysis (SIA) is becoming a widespread tool, but no study has yet, to our knowledge, compared diet e...

More ornamented Great Tit Parus major fathers start feeding their offspring earlier (2016)
Journal Article
Pagani-Núñez, E., & Senar, J. C. (2016). More ornamented Great Tit Parus major fathers start feeding their offspring earlier. Ardea, 104(2), 167-176. https://doi.org/10.5253/arde.v104i2.a1

Carotenoid-based ornaments have been proposed to signal the ability to find food. The good-parent hypothesis suggests that females may rely on these carotenoid-based traits to assess male parental quality. A key question is whether the quality of the...

The need for new categorizations of dietary specialism incorporating spatio‐temporal variability of individual diet specialization (2016)
Journal Article
Pagani‐Núñez, E., Barnett, C., Gu, H., & Goodale, E. (2016). The need for new categorizations of dietary specialism incorporating spatio‐temporal variability of individual diet specialization. Journal of Zoology, 300(1), 1-7. https://doi.org/10.1111

In the last decade, an increasing body of research has addressed the extent to which different individuals within a species or population specialize in their exploitation of different food resources, which is referred to as individual diet specializa...

The breeding ecology of the barn swallow Hirundo rustica gutturalis in South China (2016)
Journal Article
Pagani-Núñez, E., He, C., Li, B., Li, M., He, R., Jiang, A., & Goodale, E. (2016). The breeding ecology of the barn swallow Hirundo rustica gutturalis in South China. Journal of Tropical Ecology, 32(3), 260-263. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0266467416000201

Some animal species are found in many environments and over wide distributions and may have adaptations to live in such different areas. The barn swallow Hirundo rustica is an example of a species that is able to thrive over a large geographic range...

Comparing prey composition and prey size delivered to nestlings by great tits, Parus major, and blue tits, Cyanistes caeruleus, in a Mediterranean sclerophyllous mixed forest (2016)
Journal Article
Navalpotro, H., Pagani–Núñez, E., Hernández–Gómez, S., & Senar, J. (2016). Comparing prey composition and prey size delivered to nestlings by great tits, Parus major, and blue tits, Cyanistes caeruleus, in a Mediterranean sclerophyllous mixed fore

Resource partitioning is a central issue in ecology because it can establish to which point similar species can coexist in the same habitat. Great tits and blue tits have been classical model species in studies of trophic competence. However, most st...
