      Parental provisioning behavior is a major determinant of offspring growth and survival, but high provisioning rates might come at the cost of increased predation threat. Parents should thus adjust provisioning activity ...

    • Provisioning tactics of great tits (Parus major) in response to long-term brood size manipulations differ across years
