Winter Mortality and Food Supply in Tits Parus spp.
Abstract
Changes in survival and immigration in response to food provision in autumn and winter were studied in colour-banded populations of willow tits Parus montanus and crested tits P. cristatus. The extra food improved winter survival substantially and induced autumn immigration and settling. Food influenced survival, at least partly, by decreasing the risk of predation. Improved winter survival of the fed populations led to doubled breeding populations in the following spring, although the extra food was withdrawn two to four weeks before laying. It is concluded that in these tits, food abundance is crucial to winter survival, which limits the size of the breeding population.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
