DOES INTERCOLONY COMPETITION FOR FOOD AFFECT COLONY CHOICE IN CLIFF SWALLOWS? (2002)
Charles R. Brown, Mary Bomberger Brown
Explaining why breeding colonies vary in size has been a persistent problem in the study of animal spatial distribution. One hypothesis is that colony size reflects local food availability, which may...
EGG HATCHABILITY INCREASES WITH COLONY SIZE IN CLIFF SWALLOWS (2001)
Charles R. Brown, Mary Bomberger Brown
The percentage of otherwise successful nests containing ≥ 1 unhatched egg in Cliff Swallows (Petrochelidon pyrrhonota) varied inversely with colony size in southwestern Nebraska. Colony-site...
EVALUATION OF SELECTION ON CLIFF SWALLOWS (2000)
Trevor D. Price, Charles R. Brown, Mary Bomberger Brown
Estimates of the intensity of selection based on measurements of the living and the dead require knowledge of the fraction of the original population dying. We apply recently developed methods...

The North Platte River valley (elev. ca 3300 ft/990 m) in Garden and Keith counties, Nebraska, has an avifauna of 305 species, the richest known north of Texas in the Great Plains. More than 25 years...
Heritable basis for choice of group size in a colonial bird
Brown, Charles R., Brown, Mary Bomberger
Sizes of most kinds of animal groups vary considerably within a population, with group size often causing direct effects on the fitness of group members. Although the consequences of varying group...
