- Site fidelity in habitats with contrasting levels of nest predation and brood parasitism (2001, background): “For breeding passerines, habitats may differ in vegetative structure (Whelan, 2000), the quality of nesting sites (Shields et al.”
- Effect of plant architecture on colonization and damage by leaftying caterpillars of Quercus alba (2002, background): “…studies demonstrate that contrasting leaf morphologies may provide differential hiding places (Clark and Messina 1998b), and that both vertebrate (Whelan 2001) and invertebrate predators (Kareiva and Sahakian 1990, Grevstad and Klepetka 1992, Davidson and McKey 1993) are less able to physically…”
- Tree diversity is key for promoting the diversity and abundance of forest‐associated taxa in Europe (2020, background): “Conifers probably provide a more diverse spectrum of microhabitats than deciduous trees (Korenko et al. 2011) and their dense canopies lower the searching efficiency of birds (Whelan 2001).”
- Functional Matrix: A Conceptual Framework for Predicting Multiple Plant Effects on Ecosystem Processes (2003, background): “Plant architecture can also play a role in the distribution of organisms by altering access of prey to predators (Clark & Messina 1998), the energetics of foraging (Whelan 2001), or pollinator access to flowers (Lortie & Aarssen 1999).”
- Bird community composition in an actively managed savanna reserve, importance of vegetation structure and vegetation composition (2003, background): “…are also studies showing that floristic composition plays an important role (Ralph 1985; Herremans 1993; Whelan 2000), especially when fruit-bearing tree species (Willson et al. 1994), or plants that provide distinct foraging environments for insectivorous bird species (Whelan 2000) are involved.”
- Are epiphytes important for birds in coffee plantations? An experimental assessment (2005, background): “…encounter rates with prey, prey accessibility and energetic costs of attacking and capturing prey (Gradwhol 157 Epiphytes and birds in coffee plantations © 2005 British Ecological Society, Journal of Applied Ecology 42, 150–159 & Greenberg 1980; Robinson & Holmes 1982; Schmidt 1998; Whelan 2001).”
- Relationships between bird species and tree species assemblages in forested habitats of eastern North America (2005, background): “…the types of foraging zones, substrates, and/or microhabitats a tree species makes available for birds (MacArthur, 1958; Holmes, 1990; Karr, 1990; Whelan, 2001), we are still left with an association of birds and tree species independent of much structural variation (although perhaps not at the…”
