Insights for Behavioral Ecology from Behavioral Syndromes. (2008, background): “Finally, in systems with social learning, there appear to be individual differences in tendency to rely on individual‐based learning (using personal, private information) as opposed to social learning (using public information (Galef and Giraldeau, 2001; Marchetti and Drent, 2000; Valone, 2007).”
Eavesdropping by bats on the feeding buzzes of conspecifics (2007, background): “Overall, eavesdropping by Brazilian free-tailed bats should allow individuals to enhance foraging success by decreasing the amount of time spent in a poor area and gaining information about the presence of new, ephemeral patches that are rich in insect prey (Galef and Giraldeau 2001).”
Mixed-species flocks: an example of niche construction? (2011, background): “There are a number of proposals for how birds in mixed-species flocks may find food more effectively (Ward & Zahavi 1973; Morse 1978; Galef & Giraldeau 2001).”
Information and its use by animals in evolutionary ecology. (2005, background): “presence or absence of predators or the spatial location of a food patch [ 19 ]).”
A modelling framework for understanding social insect foraging (2003, background): “Indeed, our approach is general enough to encompass many examples of social foraging in vertebrates, such as information centres in co-operatively breeding birds (Galef and Giraldeau 2001), and recruitment trails in rodents (Galef and Buckley 1996).”
Foraging nine-spined sticklebacks prefer to rely on public information over simpler social cues (2005, background): “[Behav Ecol] Social animals have the opportunity to observe others andto learn from them how and where to feed (Galef and Giraldeau, 2001), as well as to acquire other information, such as with whom to mate (Nordell and Valone, 1998) or fight (McGregor et al., 2001).”
Mechanisms of social cognition. (2012, background): “Examples of social influence on foraging behavior can be observed in many other animals (Galef & Giraldeau 2001), including humans.”
Forget-me-not: Complex floral displays, inter-signal interactions, and pollinator cognition (2011, background): “Galef and Giraldeau, 2001; Leadbeater and Chittka, 2007). Among social species of pollinators, floral scent brought back to the nest alerts foragers to specific foraging opportunities (e.g., Johnson and Wenner, 1966). For example, Molet et al. (2008) found that bumble bees B.”
