- How Kentish plovers, Charadrius alexandrinus, cope with heat stress during incubation (2004, background): “The nests were allocated to two categories according to their cover: “exposed” or “covered” depending on whether they were viewed by the researcher >75% or 75%, respectively, of the sites from 1 m around the nests (for details, see Amat et al. 1999a; Amat and Masero 2004).”
- Nest Site Selection in a Hot Desert: Trade-Off Between Microclimate and Predation Risk (2008, unknown): “We suggest that predation risk for incubating adults may be lower when they can view their surroundings (Amat and Masero 2004).”
- Habitat deterioration affects body condition of lizards: A behavioral approach with Iberolacerta cyreni lizards inhabiting ski resorts (2007, background): “One of the main strategies of prey to cope with predation risk is the selection of safe habitats where they can attend their requirements while minimizing predation risk (e.g., Lima, 1998; Amat and Masero, 2004).”
- Predators and the breeding bird: behavioral and reproductive flexibility under the risk of predation (2009, background): “For instance, nest site choice by Kentish plovers appears to reflect a small-scale trade-off between thermally favourable (shaded) nesting spots and a greater ability to detect ambush predators in exposed sites (Amat & Masero, 2004; see also Wiebe & Martin, 1998 and Section II.4).”
- Understanding avian nest predation: why ornithologists should study snakes (2004, unknown): “tradeoffs between predator avoidance and offspring and parental health (Amat and Masero 2004).”
- Putting Eggs in One Basket: Ecological and Evolutionary Hypotheses for Variation in Oviposition-Site Choice (2010, background): “…alexandrinas), females in poor body condition chose nest sites that were thermally less stressful for the female but had a higher risk of nest predation, whereas females in better body condition chose thermally more stressful nest sites with a lower risk of nest predation (Amat & Masero 2004).”
