Insights for Behavioral Ecology from Behavioral Syndromes. (2008, background): “In addition, the relative use of public versus private information can have major impacts on the dynamics of how social groups respond to changing environments (Valone, 2007), a key issue in a heavily human‐alteredmodern world.”
Predators and the breeding bird: behavioral and reproductive flexibility under the risk of predation (2009, background): “This sort of public information (Seppänen et al., 2007; Valone, 2007) is indeed valuable since it provides a direct measure of nesting success in a given location rather than an indirect cue of risk, assuming that there is predictability in nest predation across seasons (Citta & Lindberg, 2007).”
Unpacking the Exploration–Exploitation Tradeoff: A Synthesis of Human and Animal Literatures (2015, background): “Availability of social information, in contrast, tends to decrease the costs of exploration because it allows the agent to learn from others' decisions and performances and thereby reduces the need to engage in risky exploratory behavior oneself (Valone, 2007).”
Site fidelity and patterns of short- and long-term movement in the brilliant-thighed poison frog Allobates femoralis (Aromobatidae) (2009, methodology): “An extension of this hypothesis integrates the use of “public information” (Dall et al. 2005; Valone 2007) about reproductive success of conspecifics into decision making.”
Making habitat selection more “familiar”: a review (2011, background): “2001; Part and Doligez 2003) and, in colonial breeders, incorporates the breeding efforts of many individuals (Boulinier and Danchin 1997; Danchin et al. 2001; Doligez et al. 2003; Valone 2007).”
A framework for studying social complexity (2019, background): “Social complexity is also enhanced by interactions that involve more than two individuals simultaneously, creating, for example, opportunities for audience effects (Zuberbühler 2008), eavesdropping (Valone 2007) and coalitionary intervention (Harcourt and de Waal 1992).”
Mate Choice Copying and Nonindependent Mate Choice: A Critical Review (2011, background): “Apart from foraging and mate choice, the concept of public information has been extended to various other domains like breeding habitat selection and opponent assessment in fighting interactions (Valone & Templeton 2002, Valone 2007).”
Conspecific cueing in the sea lamprey: do reproductive migrations consistently follow the most intense larval odour? (2009, background): “Alternatively, an individual may acquire information based on the performance of others through the use of public information (sensu Valone 2007).”
Social network theory: new insights and issues for behavioral ecologists (2009, background): “2004; Valone 2007), public information about danger or resources (Coolen and Giraldeau 2003; Valone 2007), and spread of innovation (Reader and Laland 2000; Biro et al.”
All together now: behavioural synchrony in baboons. (2009, background): “acquiring social information about the locations and qualities of food resources by foraging at the same time and monitoring the success of others (Fernandez-Juricic et al. 2007; King & Cowlishaw 2007; Valone 2007).”
