• Raven scavenging favours group foraging in wolves (2004, unknown): “Ravens are ubiquitously present at carcasses of wolfkilled prey throughout North America (e.g. Crisler 1956; Mech 1966, 1970; Bruggers 1988; Heinrich 1989; Paquet 1991; Promberger 1992; Carbyn et al. 1993; Mech et al. 1998; Hayes et al. 2000; Drummer et al. 2002; Stahler et al. 2002; see also Bjarva”
• Effects of Group Size on Approach to Novel Objects in Ravens (Corvus corax) (2006, background): “Ravens actively recruit conspecifics at ephemeral food sources (Heinrich 1988b, 1994; Heinrich & Marzluff 1991) and are attracted to feeding sites by the presence of conspecifics (Heinrich et al. 1993) and heterospecifics (Stahler et al. 2002).”
• Testing Problem Solving in Ravens: String-Pulling to Reach Food (2005, background): “Raven’s life-style as crowd-foragers at carcasses pits them into constant interactions amongst themselves (Heinrich & Marzluff 1991; Bugnyar & Kotrschal 2002) and with dangerous predators such as wolves Canis lupus (Stahler et al. 2002; Vucetich et al. 2004).”
