A classification scheme for mixed-species bird flocks
The literature on mixed-species flocks references a wide variety of bird associations. These
studies, however, have used an array of unstructured characteristics to describe flocks …

Mixed-species flock composition matters: interspecific influences on finding novel food in North American parids
Individuals of a wide range of species are sensitive to the presence of other species, and
can often benefit from associations with other species in mixed-species groups (MSGs) …

Do similar foragers flock together? Nonbreeding foraging behavior and its impact on mixed-species flocking associations in a subtropical region
Mixed-species flocks are ubiquitous in forest bird communities, yet the extent to which

Responses of interspecific associations in mixed‐species bird flocks to selective logging

Vegetation structure drives mixed-species flock interaction strength and nuclear species roles
Mixed-species flocks are a key facilitative interaction for tropical birds. Forest fragmentation
leads to species loss and spatial turnover in these flocks, yet it is unknown how these …

Does mixed-species flocking influence how birds respond to a gradient of land-use intensity?
Conservation biology is increasingly concerned with preserving interactions among species
such as mutualisms in landscapes facing anthropogenic change. We investigated how one …

Network structure of avian mixed-species flocks decays with elevation and latitude across the Andes
Birds in mixed-species flocks benefit from greater foraging efficiency and reduced predation,
but also face costs related to competition and activity matching. Because this cost–benefit …

Temperature and vegetation complexity structure mixed-species flocks along a gradient of elevation in the tropical Andes
Mixed-species flocks constitute community modules that can help test mechanisms driving
changes to community composition across environmental gradients. Here, we examined …
