Fear factor: prey habitat selection and its consequences in a predation risk landscape (2006, background): “In fact, birds are suggested to correctly assess levels of nest predation risk from mammalian predators and respond adaptively (Forstmeier and Weiss 2004).”
Ecological and Evolutionary Consequences of Biological Invasion and Habitat Fragmentation (2005, background): “At high risk of predation, dusky warblers (Phylloscopus fuscatus) preferred safe nest sites over those offering other advantages (Forstmeier and Weiss 2004).”
Adaptive phenotypic plasticity in an island songbird exposed to a novel predation risk (2008, unknown): “, the shrub layer) has been shown for several bird species (Larson 2000; Forstmeier and Weiss 2004; Eggers et al. 2006), the present study is the first to quantify the ability of a bird to use variable vegetation strata in response to variable levels of nest predation risk.”
Predators and the breeding bird: behavioral and reproductive flexibility under the risk of predation (2009, background): “Forstmeier & Weiss (2004) showed that the placement of nests within territories by dusky warblers (Phylloscopus fuscatus) varies with the local abundance of small mammalian predators.”
