House sparrow (Passer domesticus) habitat use in urbanized landscapes (2007, background): “The house sparrow Passer domesticus, a species once so numerous that it was considered a pest in many parts of Europe, is now showing severe population declines in many areas (Crick et al. 2002; Summers-Smith 2003; Anderson 2006).”
A new bio-inspired optimisation algorithm: Bird Swarm Algorithm (2016, background): “They may roost communally, forage and ﬂy in ﬂocks (Anderson, 2006).”
Ecogeographical rules: elements of a synthesis (2008, background): “Even so, whilst major reviews have sought to bring much of this material together (Summers-Smith, 1988; Anderson, 2006), and similar environmental variables have been proposed to explain the trends in many traits, the connections between the different patterns have been little explored.”
Urbanization, nestling growth and reproductive success in a moderately declining house sparrow population (2012, background): “Mortality of the captive adults was low compared to the natural annual rates of ca 40–50% (Anderson 2006): 7 out of 40 died during the two study years.”
