The Behavioral Ecology of Disturbance Responses (2007, positive): “…et al. (2001a) suggested that a lack of behavioral response may not imply a lack of fitness consequence but may instead reflect a lack of choice and Beale & Monaghan (2004a) provided an empirical test showing that such theoretical arguments translate directly to the field and concluded that it is…”

What are you actually measuring? A review of techniques that integrate the stress response on distinct time‐scales (2020, methodology): “This method is more appropriate when assessing longer term external stressors, including predation pressure (Berger, Wikelski, Romero, Kalko, & Rödl, 2007), urbanization (Abolins-Abols et al., 2016; Berger et al., 2007) and food availability (Beale & Monaghan, 2004).”
Antipredator strategies of house finches: are urban habitats safe spots from predators even when humans are around? (2009, background): “Why do house finches in more urbanized habitats seem to assess the risk of an approach? First, if food availability was higher in the urban habitat and if this influenced body condition, then individuals could allocate more time to the assessment of an approaching risk because their energetic demand”
Studying the behaviour and sensory ecology of marine mammals using acoustic recording tags: a review (2009, background): “…life history of most marine mammals, it is often difficult to assess the long-term significance of a short-term response (Bejder et al. 2006), and the presence, or absence, of a detectable short-term response may have little to do with the long-term effects of a disturbance (Beale & Monaghan 2004).”
Behavioural responses to human‐induced environmental change (2011, background): “Moreover, behavioural decisions may be condition-dependent with individuals in good condition changing their behaviour either more or less than individuals in poor condition (Beale & Monaghan, 2004).”
