Phenological sensitivity to climate change is higher in resident than in migrant bird populations among European cavity breeders
Many organisms adjust their reproductive phenology in response to climate change, but
phenological sensitivity to temperature may vary between species. For example, resident …

Nest site selection for five common birds and their coexistence in an urban habitat
Many species of birds gradually adapt to urbanization and colonize cities successfully.
However, their nest site selection and competitive relationship in an urban community …

Competitor phenology as a social cue in breeding site selection
Predicting habitat quality is a major challenge for animals selecting a breeding patch,
because it affects reproductive success. Breeding site selection may be based on previous …

High frequency of prospecting for informed dispersal and colonisation in a social species at large spatial scale
Animals explore and prospect space searching for resources and individuals may disperse,
targeting suitable patches to increase fitness. Nevertheless, dispersal is costly because it …

Adult and hatch-year blackpoll warblers exhibit radically different regional-scale movements during post-fledging dispersal
Using a broad-scale automated telemetry array, we explored post-fledging movements of
blackpoll warblers breeding in Atlantic Canada. We sought to determine the full spatial scale …

Behavioural traits modulate the use of heterospecific social information for nest site selection: experimental evidence from a wild bird population
The use of social information for making decisions is common but can be constrained by
behavioural traits via, for example, the ability to gather information. Such constrained …

Do large‐scale associations in birds imply biotic interactions or environmental filtering?
Aim There has been a wide interest in the effect of biotic interactions on species'
occurrences and abundances at large spatial scales, coupled with a vast development of the …

Breeding failure induces large scale prospecting movements in the black-legged kittiwake
Before making dispersal decisions, many species are known to gather social information by
prospecting potential future breeding sites, especially when they have failed breeding. So …
