Making habitat selection more “familiar”: a review (2011, background): “2008; Wagner and Danchin 2010) and includes "inadvertent social information," unintentional cues that convey information to conspecifics about the quality of a habitat (Valone and Templeton 2002; Danchin et al. 2004; Nocera and Betts 2010).”
Group-size-dependent association between food profitability, predation risk and distribution of free-ranging bison (2009, background): “Group members also profit from social information, which decreases uncertainty about environmental quality (Giraldeau & Caraco 2000; Danchin et al. 2004; Fernández-Juricic et al. 2006).”
Role of facial expressions in social interactions (2009, background): “EMOTIONS AS COMMUNICATIVE SIGNALS So far I have presented facial expressions as an example of public information (Danchin et al. 2004).”
Social cognition (2008, background): “Many species use signals from other species to help them achieve their goals (Danchin et al. 2004).”
Mechanisms and fitness effects of interspecific information use between migrant and resident birds (2007, background): “…how animals gather information from other individuals D ow nloaded from https://academ ic.oup.com /beheco/article-abstract/18/5/888/200365 by guest on 28 M arch 2019 and use it in decision making (termed social information, for reviews, see Valone and Templeton 2002; Danchin et al. 2004).”
Audience effect alters mating preferences in a livebearing fish, the Atlantic molly, Poecilia mexicana (2008, neutral): “Animal decision making often includes a communication component and occurs in a social environment, such that decision making can be influenced by the behaviour of surrounding individuals (see Danchin et al. 2004 for ‘public information’).”
Mate Choice Copying and Nonindependent Mate Choice: A Critical Review (2011, background): “In recent years, there has been a tendency to place mate choice copying in the much broader context of public information theory (e.g. Nordell & Valone 1998, Valone & Templeton 2002, Danchin et al. 2004, Kavaliers et al. 2006, Valone 2007, Mery et al. 2009).”
AVIAN HABITAT MANAGEMENT MEETS CONSPECIFIC ATTRACTION: IF YOU BUILD IT, WILL THEY COME? (2006, background): “This type of conspecifi c a raction is known as performance-based conspecifi c a raction or public information, and has been shown to occur in some species (Doligez et al. 2002, Danchin et al. 2004, Serrano et al. 2004).”
Bumble bees (Bombus terrestris) store both food and information in honeypots (2005, neutral): “When individuals pick up information from the behavior of other individuals, and that behavior has not evolved for the purpose of transmitting information, they are using cues (Brown, 1988; Danchin et al., 2004; Seeley, 1998).”
Modelling dispersal: an eco‐evolutionary framework incorporating emigration, movement, settlement behaviour and the multiple costs involved (2012, background): “…in which individuals condition their emigration ⁄movement ⁄ settlement behaviour according to information they acquire directly about the environment (i.e. personal information; reviewed in Dall et al. 2005) or indirectly from other individuals (Danchin et al. 2004; Cote & Clobert 2007, 2010).”
Determinants and Consequences of Dispersal in Vertebrates with Complex Life Cycles: A Review of Pond-Breeding Amphibians (2018, background): “The reproductive success and body condition of conspecifics can provide “public information” that influences the decision of individuals to disperse or not (Valone and Templeton 2002; Danchin et al. 2004; Blanchet et al. 2010).”
