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 …

When to use public information for breeding habitat selection? The role of environmental predictability and density dependence
To select their future breeding site, individuals usually have to assess local quality by using
environmental cues. One optimal cue may be 'public information', the local reproductive …

From eavesdropping on performance to copying the behavior of others: a review of public information use
TJ Valone - Behavioral ecology and sociobiology, 2007 - Springer
Public information (PI), a form of indirect social information, is used by individuals to estimate
the quality of environmental parameters. It can be acquired in two ways. One way is by …

Informed dispersal: prospecting by birds for breeding sites
The quality of a bird's breeding site is a primary determinant of its success or failure to
reproduce there. We expect birds to devote considerable effort to acquiring accurate …

Conspecific attraction and the conservation of territorial songbirds
MP Ward, S Schlossberg - Conservation biology, 2004 - Wiley Online Library
Conspecific attraction, the tendency for individuals of a species to settle near one another, is
well described in colonial species, especially birds. Although this behavior may occur in …
