Making habitat selection more “familiar”: a review

WH Piper - Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, 2011 - Springer
Behavioral ecologists generally agree that animals derive benefits from familiarity with
spaces that they inhabit or visit, yet site familiarity is rudimentary or lacking in most models of …

Why do earlier‐arriving migratory birds have better breeding success?

CA Morrison, JA Alves, TG Gunnarsson… - Ecology and …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
In migratory birds, early arrival on breeding sites is typically associated with greater
breeding success, but the mechanisms driving these benefits are rarely known. One …

and decreasing biodiversity, although it is creating new habitats for some species. The …

Habitat selection as an antipredator behaviour in a multi‐predator landscape: all enemies are not equal

C Morosinotto, RL Thomson… - Journal of Animal …, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
Breeding territory choice constitutes a crucial antipredator behaviour for animals that
determines reproductive success and survival during the breeding season. On arrival to …

Quantifying the demographic cost of human-related mortality to a raptor population

W Grainger Hunt, J David Wiens, PR Law, MR Fuller… - PLoS …, 2017 - journals.plos.org
Raptors are exposed to a wide variety of human-related mortality agents, and yet population-

Testing an emerging paradigm in migration ecology shows surprising differences in efficiency between flight modes

AE Duerr, TA Miller, M Lanzone, D Brandes, J Cooper… - PLoS …, 2012 - journals.plos.org
To maximize fitness, flying animals should maximize flight speed while minimizing energetic

GPS tracking of Red Kites (Milvus milvus) reveals fledgling number is negatively correlated with home range size

T Pfeiffer, BU Meyburg - Journal of Ornithology, 2015 - Springer
To date, reliable studies on the spatial area use and home range size of the Red Kite (Milvus
milvus) during the breeding season are lacking. Between 2007 and 2014, 43 adult …
