Gap‐Crossing Decisions by the Red Squirrel, a Forest‐Dependent Small Mammal (2004, background): “These researchers found that forest specialists were generally more reluctant to enter gaps (Sieving et al. 1996; Rail et al. 1997; Rodriguez et al. 2001) and that detour efficiency (distance across gap divided by distance around gap perimeter) predicted gap crossing for many species (Desrochers &…”
Antipredator calls of tufted titmice and interspecific transfer of encoded threat information (2012, background): “The presence of tufted titmice also increases access to more open habitats for forest birds (Dolby and Grubb 2000; Rodriguez et al. 2001; Sieving et al. 2004), expanding the diversity of available resources and, potentially, home range size.”
Comparative Permeability of Roads, Rivers, and Meadows to Songbirds in Banff National Park (2003, background): “It may often be the perception of risk, as opposed to measurable risk per se, that dissuades birds from traveling or feeding in open areas (e.g., Rodriguez et al. 2001; Harris & Reed 2002).”
Enclosure and Safety in Urbanscapes (2005, background): “Examples include solid or permeable hiding places (Lazarus & Symonds, 1992); distance to cover and visual obstructions (Lima, 1987); spatial variation of cover (Rodríguez, Andrén, & Jansson, 2001); visibility (Metcalfe, 1984); predation risk, variation in cover, and size of flock (Rodríguez et al., ”
