I use the custom document class
\documentclass{MastersDoctoralThesis}
but hope, my question is more general. In my head there is
\usepackage[backend=bibtex,style=authoryear,natbib=true]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{example.bib}
My example.bib:
@article{Reference1,
Abstract = {We have developed an enhanced Littrow configuration extended cavity diode laser (ECDL) that can be tuned without changing the direction of the output beam. The output of a conventional Littrow ECDL is reflected from a plane mirror fixed parallel to the tuning diffraction grating. Using a free-space Michelson wavemeter to measure the laser wavelength, we can tune the laser over a range greater than 10 nm without any alteration of alignment.},

@article{Reference2,
Abstract = {We present a review of the use of diode lasers in atomic physics with an extensive list of references. We discuss the relevant characteristics of diode lasers and explain how to purchase and use them. We also review the various techniques that have been used to control and narrow the spectral outputs of diode lasers. Finally we present a number of examples illustrating the use of diode lasers in atomic physics experiments. Review of Scientific Instruments is copyrighted by The American Institute of Physics.},

When I use \cite{} in my main, I can only sucessfully use \cite{Reference1}, not \cite{Reference2}. Second only prints "Reference2" in bold. It's not about the Reference2-entry specifically, as it's the other way around, when I put Reference2 before Reference1 in the .bib.
Tell me if you need more information. I firstly wanted to make sure this isn't a common or obvious problem.
