Climate change and breeding parameters of great and blue tits throughout the western Palaearctic
Abstract Increasing evidence suggests that climate change has consequences on avian breeding phenology. Here, variations in laying date and clutch size of great tit Parus major and blue tit Parus caeruleus within and between breeding populations through the western Palaearctic are examined in relati...
