Antipredator strategies of house finches: are urban habitats safe spots from predators even when humans are around? (2009, background): “In social species, these predation risk effects can be enhanced as the distance between group members increases (Fernández-Juricic and Kacelnik 2004; Fernández-Juricic et al. 2007).”
Avian visual system configuration and behavioural response to object approach (2009, unknown): “The cage dimensions and group size allowed us to minimize distance-to-neighbour effects and the effects of individual variance in vigilance (e.g. Fernández-Juricic et al. 2007).”
All together now: behavioural synchrony in baboons. (2009, background): “Given that group members may actively coordinate their synchronous behaviour at least some of the time, and that such coordination is likely to be facilitated by the monitoring of their groupmates, this finding is consistent with the idea that the acquisition of social information is mediated by nei”
