Behavioral Syndromes: An Integrative Overview (2004, background): “…species have revealed that bird taxa with large brains (relative to body size) tend to be less neophobic, better at problem solving, more likely to exhibit feeding innovations, and show greater evolutionary diversification and ecological invasiveness (Lefebvre et al. 1997; Sol and Lefebvre 2000).”
The role of behavior in evolution: a search for mechanism (2008, background): “…as measured by brain size is associated with higher species richness in birds (Nicolakakis et al. 2003; Sol et al. 2005b) and is also linked to invasion success supporting the idea that behavioral flexibility enhances colonization ability of animals (Sol and Lefebvre 2000; Sol et al. 2002).”
Behavioural flexibility and invasion success in birds (2002, methodology): “This was none the less known for 39 species introduced to New Zealand (Veltman et al. 1996) and/or Australia (Newsome & Noble 1986), which allowed us to test the key assumption that more flexible species are not introduced in larger numbers than the less flexible ones.”
Predicting establishment success for alien reptiles and amphibians: a role for climate matching (2009, background): “Phylogenetic factors Correction for phylogenetic non-independence is a common approach in assessing factors correlated with establishment success or invasiveness (Sol and Lefebvre 2000; Forsyth et al. 2004).”
The role of species traits in the establishment success of exotic birds (2009, background): “…exotic location include whether a species has broad or narrow habitat or dietary requirements (e.g., Ehrlich, 1989; Forys & Allen, 1999; Dean, 2000; Duncan et al., 2003), the flexibility of its behaviour (Sol & Lefebvre, 2000; Sol et al., 2002, 2005b), and immunocompetence (M ller & Cassey, 2004).”
Invasive alien Crustacea: dispersal, establishment, impact and control (2011, background): “…long been thought to confer an advantage to invasive species, because this trait maximises the range of resources (dietary omnivory) and prey types (trophic omnivory) that are available to newly settled individuals (Sol and Lefebvre 2000; Romanuk et al. 2009; Baiser et al. 2010; Zhang et al. 2010).”
Behavioral syndrome over the boundaries of life - carryovers from larvae to adult damselfly. (2009, background): “…the last few years, several evolutionary and/or ecological studies on animal personalities have been produced on mammals (Reale et al. 2000), birds (Sol and Lefebvre 2000; Sol et al. 2002; Both et al. 2005; Carere et al. 2005; MettkeHofmann 2005; Quinn and Cresswell 2005; van Oers et al. 2005),…”
Determinants of vertebrate invasion success in Europe and North America (2006, background): “…al., 2005; reviewed by Ehrlich, 1989; Kolar & Lodge, 2001; Fisher & Owens, 2004) plus relative brain mass of adults, calculated as the residual of linear regressions of log 10 -transformed adult brain masses vs. log 10 -transformed adult body masses (Sol & Lefebvre, 2000; Sol et al., 2002, 2005).”
Problem solving and neophobia in a columbiform–passeriform assemblage in Barbados (2001, background): “…neural structures should innovate and learn more readily (Wyles et al. 1983; Wilson 1985; Fitzpatrick 1988; Reader & Laland 1999), approaching new stimuli more quickly to incorporate more food types in their diet opportunistically (Greenberg 1990b) and colonize new habitats (Sol & Lefebvre 2000).”
Establishment patterns of exotic birds are constrained by non‐random patterns in introduction (2001, background): “…abundant data with which to investigate the causes of introduction success (see, for example, Moulton & Pimm, 1983, 1986; Newsome & Noble, 1986; Simberloff, 1992; Brooke et al., 1995; Veltman et al., 1996; Duncan, 1997; Legendre et al., 1999; Dean, 2000; Sol & Lefebvre, 2000; Duncan et al., 2001).”
The cognition of ‘nuisance’ species (2019, background): “…the ability of an individual to modify or expand its ecological niche (Overington, Griffin, Sol, & Lefebvre, 2011), leading to the successful invasion of novel environments and adaptation to urbanization (Lowry et al., 2013; Sol & Lefebvre, 2000; Sol, Duncan, Blackburn, Cassey, & Lefebvre, 2005).”
A taste for novelty in invading house sparrows, Passer domesticus (2005, background): “Indeed, further study of other invasive and resident populations is critical to determine if differences in behavioral (Sol and Lefebvre, 2000) and physiological (Lee and Klasing, 2004) flexibility underlie the expansion of species’ native ranges (Davis et al.”
