Perceptual Processes and the Maintenance of Polymorphism Through Frequency-dependent Predation (2005, background): “Moment, 1962; Clarke, 1962a; Bond, 1983; Lawrence, 1985; Gendron, 1986; Allen, 1988a, b; Endler, 1988; Gillespie and Tabashnik, 1990; Dukas and Ellner, 1993; Dukas and Kamil, 2001 ).”
Diet specialisation and foraging efficiency under fluctuating vole abundance: a comparison between generalist and specialist avian predators (2011, background): “This phenomenon of limited attention helps to understand why specialists tend to forage more efficiently than generalists, through a search image formation on a given food type (Dukas and Kamil 2001).”
The effect of learning and search images on predator–prey interactions (2009, background): “Therefore, predators can forage with greater efficiency when they temporarily specialize on a single cryptic prey and ignore alternatives (Dukas and Kamil 2001).”
The Evolution of Color Polymorphism: Crypticity, Searching Images, and Apostatic Selection (2007, background): “It has, however, recently been clearly demonstrated by Dukas & Kamil (2000, 2001) with blue jays in an operant apparatus, using a design that compelled the birds to divide their attention either between spatial locations or between stimulus types.”
Sensitivity of wildlife to spatial patterns of recreationist behavior: A critical assessment of minimum approaching distances and buffer areas for grassland birds (2005, background): “A bird may need more time detecting a threat that is moving at a slower rate than one that is moving at a higher rate of approach, particularly if the bird s attention is not towards the threat while it approaches (Dukas and Kamil, 2000, 2001).”
