Predators and the breeding bird: behavioral and reproductive flexibility under the risk of predation (2009, background): “If parental activity attracts nest predators, then parents may have little choice but to curtail feeding under a higher predation risk (Eggers et al., 2005; Fontaine & Martin, 2006b; Peluc et al., 2008; but see Gardner, 2007).”
Nest predation research: recent findings and future perspectives (2015, background): “Acoustic cues of potential nest predators have also been shown to affect Siberian Jay (Perisoreus infaustus) and Orange-Crowned Warbler (Vermivora celata) decisions about nest location decisions (Eggers et al. 2006; Peluc et al. 2008).”
Evolution and behavioural responses to human-induced rapid environmental change (2011, background): “In contrast, other prey have shown either innate recognition with suitable responses to novel predators (e.g. Peluci et al. 2008; Epp and Gabor 2008; Rehage et al. 2009) or rapid adaptive learning about novel predators including humans (Knight et al. 1987).”
