Socioecological adaptations by chimpanzees, Pan troglodytes verus, inhabiting an anthropogenically impacted habitat (2012, background): “Behavioural flexibility confers important fitness benefits in seasonal, novel or altered environmental situations (Reader & MacDonald 2003; Sol 2003; Sol et al. 2005).”
Are innovative species ecological generalists? A test in North American birds (2011, background): “One of the hypothesized benefits of innovativeness is that it allows animals to exploit a wide variety of resources (Reader and MacDonald 2003), which may be useful when resources are in shortage or when individuals invade a new environment.”
