- Kinship, familiarity and social status modulate social learning about “micropredators” (biting flies) in deer mice (2005, background): “Curio 1988; Mathis et al. 1996; Chivers and Smith 1998; Brown and Laland 2001; Griffin 2004).”
- Sources of stress in captivity (2007, background): “Occasional exposure of captive animals to environmental provocation might be considered as legitimate components of long-term husbandry regimes (Chamove and Moodie, 1990; Moodie and Chamove, 1990), particularly for those species targeted for eventual repatriation (McLean et al., 2000; Rabin, 2003).”
- Moving to suburbia: ontogenetic and evolutionary consequences of life on predator‐free islands (2002, background): “For experience-dependent behaviours, it seems that many species can be taught about the predators they are likely to encounter (Griffin et al., 2000; Mclean et al., 2000), and that the lessons they learn about one predator might be generalizable to other similar predators (Griffin et al., 2001).”
- Olfactory predator recognition: wallabies may have to learn to be wary (2002, background): “Fortunately, it seems that many species can be taught about the predators they are likely to encounter (McLean et al., 2000), that the lessons they learn about one predator might be generalizable to other similar predators Morgan, pers. comm. Brushtail possum Evolutionary Yes Gresser, and…”
- Learning specificity in acquired predator recognition (2001, background): “Previous studies using simultaneous presentations of a human and a model predator have not been as successful in inculcating a fear response in a marsupial (McLean et al. 2000), probably because the human overshadowed (Shettleworth 1998) the training stimulus.”
- Responses of American toad tadpoles to predation cues: behavioural response thresholds, threat-sensitivity and acquired predation recognition (2006, unknown): “Studies have been done on mammals (McLean et al., 2000; Griffin et al., 2001), birds (McLean et al.”
