Pollinator webs, plant communities and the conservation of rare plants: arable weeds as a case study (2006, background): “The seeds of arable insect-pollinated species such as Stellaria media (Caryophyllaceae) and Sinapis arvensis (Brassicaceae) form a major part of the diet of most farmland bird species (Marshall et al. 2003), many of which are currently in decline (Siriwardena et al. 1998; Stephens et al. 2003; Butl”
Avian visual system configuration and behavioural response to object approach (2009, unknown): “Such a delayed response to predator approach is typical of species that use ‘tall’ vegetation as protective cover (e.g. see Whittingham & Evans 2004; Butler et al. 2005; Whittingham et al. 2006), such as the mourning dove.”
Altering perceived predation risk and food availability: management prescriptions to benefit farmland birds on stubble fields (2006, background): “Further aviary experiments varied the food abundance on the two patches and gave chaffinches the choice of foraging in either the short or long stubble (Butler et al. 2005).”
Tradeoffs between food abundance and predation danger in spatial usage of a stopover site by western sandpipers, Calidris mauri (2006, background): “Assessments of food abundance alone are insufficient to measure site quality since the distribution of danger within a site may affect the value of food (Butler et al. 2005a, 2005b).”
