Ecological and evolutionary traps
MA Schlaepfer, MC Runge, PW Sherman - Trends in ecology & evolution, 2002 - cell.com
Organisms often rely on environmental cues to make behavioral and life-history decisions.
However, in environments that have been altered suddenly by humans, formerly reliable …

A framework for understanding ecological traps and an evaluation of existing evidence
BA Robertson, RL Hutto - Ecology, 2006 - Wiley Online Library
When an animal settles preferentially in a habitat within which it does poorly relative to other
available habitats, it is said to have been caught in an “ecological trap.” Although the …
