The role of phenotypic plasticity in driving genetic evolution (2003, background): “For example, Sol et al. (2002) have shown that among human-aided bird introductions those species that show more innovation in foraging techniques (i.e. show more plasticity in their foraging behaviours) are more successful.”
Innovation and social learning: individual variation and brain evolution * (2003, neutral): “…measures such as tool use frequencies, enhanced rates of evolutionary divergence, and ecologically important factors such as the success of birds introduced to novel environments (Wyles et al., 1983; Timmermans et al., 2000; Lefebvre et al., 2002; Sol et al., 2002; Nicolakakis et al., 2003).”
Exploring the relationship between nichie breadth and invasion success (2006, background): “This mechanism is particularly important for species that are able to exploit human-dominated ecosystems, which are themselves very widespread (Sol et al. 2002).”
Natural behavioural biology as a risk factor in carnivore welfare: How analysing species differences could help zoos improve enclosures § (2007, background): “…some species’ vulnerabilities to extinction in the wild (e.g. Purvis et al., 2000; Woodroffe and Ginsberg, 1998), or that decrease some species’ likelihood of surviving or breeding when introduced to new locations (e.g. Wolf et al., 1998a,b; Sol et al., 2002; see also Stamps and Swaisgood, 2007).”
Dispersal Behavior, Boldness, and the Link to Invasiveness: A Comparison of Four Gambusia Species (2004, background): “Scientists have also pointed out the need for a better understanding of the role of behavioral mechanisms as key predictors of invasion success (Holway and Suarez 1999; e.g. Sol et al. 2002).”
A Comparative Analysis of Social Play in Birds (2003, background): “…behavioral flexibility, and soci- ality (Ortega and Bekoff, 1987; Skutch, 1987), and these variables are to some degree intercorrelated with brain size (Bennett and Harvey, 1985a, b; Lefebvre et al., 2002, 2001, 1998, 1997; Sol and Lefebvre, 2000; Timmermans et al., 2000; Sol et al., 2002).”
Individual behavioural consistency and plasticity in an urban spider (2012, neutral): “Previous studies have identified traits related to species’ abilities to cope well in anthropogenic environments, such as fast growth and a short reproductive cycle, high mobility, high aggressiveness and activity, low neophobia (boldness), high phenotypic plasticity and tolerance to a wide range of”
Individual variation in spontaneous problem-solving performance among wild great tits (2011, background): “…ecological importance because they fundamentally influence how individuals acquire and manage resources, avoid predation, invade new habitats, and maintain social relationships (Cheney et al. 1986; Curio 1988; Pravosudov & Clayton 2002; Sol et al. 2002; Turner et al. 2006; Keagy et al. 2009).”
Living in the city: can anyone become an ‘urban exploiter'? (2007, methodology): “Relative brain size covaries with several traits such that species that are sedentary (Sol et al., 2005b), are more behaviourally flexible (Lefebvre et al., 2002) and are more likely to be successful invaders (Sol et al., 2002) tend to have relatively large brains.”
Understanding variation in behavioural responses to human-induced rapid environmental change: a conceptual overview (2013, background): “Finally, although it is not explicitly part of the trap concept, conventional wisdom suggests that generalists or more flexible organisms should adjust better to change than specialists or less flexible organisms (Sol et al. 2002, 2005; Wright et al. 2010).”
Habituation potential of yellow-eyed penguins depends on sex, character and previous experience with humans (2009, background): “Large-scale analyses of bird taxa suggest more flexible, less neophobic species are best able to cope in human-disturbed habitats (Sol et al. 2002).”
Evolution and behavioural responses to human-induced rapid environmental change (2011, background): “In the water, human activities often cause increased turbidity, which can reduce feeding rates (Stuart-Smith et al. 2004; Ljunggren and Sandstrom 2007) and disrupt mating patterns (Seehausen et al. 1997; Candolin 2009).”
