Predators and the breeding bird: behavioral and reproductive flexibility under the risk of predation
SL Lima - Biological reviews, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
ABSTRACT A growing body of work suggests that breeding birds have a significant capacity
to assess and respond, over ecological time, to changes in the risk of predation to both …

Habitat–performance relationships: finding the right metric at a given spatial scale
The field of habitat ecology has been muddled by imprecise terminology regarding what
constitutes habitat, and how importance is measured through use, selection, avoidance and …

Social information use is a process across time, space, and ecology, reaching heterospecifics
Decision making can be facilitated by observing other individuals faced with the same or
similar problem, and recent research suggests that this social information use is a …

Research needs and recommendations for the use of conspecific-attraction methods in the conservation of migratory songbirds
Numerous studies have confirmed that when selecting habitat birds can use social
information acquired from observing other individuals, and many aspects of this social …

Interspecific social learning: novel preference can be acquired from a competing species
Nongenetic transmission of behavioral traits via social learning allows local traditions in
humans, and, controversially, in other animals [1–4]. Social learning is usually studied as an …

Immigrant birds learn from socially observed differences in payoffs when their environment changes
Longstanding theory predicts that strategic flexibility in when and how to use social
information can help individuals make adaptive decisions, especially when environments …

Friendship across species borders: factors that facilitate and constrain heterospecific sociality
Our understanding of animal sociality is based almost entirely on single-species sociality.
Heterospecific sociality, although documented in numerous taxa and contexts, remains at …
