Citations in the corpus

• Arrival timing and seasonal reproductive performance in a long-distance migratory landbird (2004, background): “The first territories settled are those of the highest quality (Fretwell and Lucas 1970; Sergio and Newton 2003).”
• Intraguild predation in raptor assemblages: A review (2008, background): “…of the intraguild predator nearby, e.g. Kelly et al. 2003) or spatial (occupation rate of territories with and without a potential intraguild killer nearby, e.g. Olson et al. 2005, or change in occupancy rates along a continuum of distances to the potential killer, e.g. Sergio & Newton 2003).”
• Integrating individual habitat choices and regional distribution of a biodiversity indicator and top predator (2004, background): “In this region, eagle owls prey frequently on other raptor species, sometimes limiting their density and productivity (Sergio et al., 2003a; Sergio & Newton, 2003).”
• Survival in a long-lived territorial migrant: effects of life-history traits and ecological conditions in wintering and breeding areas (2009, background): “…or remain constant until senescence, although sexual asymmetrical costs of reproduction (Breitwisch 1989, Tavecchia et al. 2001) or spatial heterogeneity in the quality of breeding territories (Franklin et al. 2000, Sergio and Newton 2003, Carrete et al. 2006) may introduce additional variability.”
• Electrocution alters the distribution and density of a top predator, the eagle owl Bubo bubo (2004, result): “In contrast to the Abruzzo area, in the Trento region too few territories were abandoned for a meaningful comparison but some were not occupied every year, suggesting death of their occupants or breeding dispersal ( Sergio & Newton 2003 ).”
• Sequential settlement and site dependence in a migratory raptor (2007, background): “This is because, on arrival, all birds were very conspicuous and displayed intensively, perched on traditional, dominant locations, and rapidly started nest building (Sergio and Newton 2003; see also Viñuela 1993).”
• From eavesdropping on performance to copying the behavior of others: a review of public information use (2007, positive): “Sergio and Newton (2003) empirically tested this idea and found that occupancy of a territory was indeed a reliable indicator of its quality for black kites (M. migrans): Highquality territories are occupied more consistently than lowquality habitats.”
• MEASURING HABITAT QUALITY: A REVIEW (2007, background): “…to the discipline and the myriad recognized ways it can be measured, there have been few reviews of habitat quality and how it can be quantified by ornithologists (but see introductions of James 1971, Bernstein et al. 1991, Block and Brennan 1993, Sergio and Newton 2003, Pidgeon et al. 2006).”
