Intraspecific variation in avian pectoral muscle mass: constraints on maintaining manoeuvrability with increasing body mass (2007, background): “However, the probability of surviving predator attacks is not only determined by the bird’s escape flight ability, but also strongly by its antipredator behaviour, such as flocking (Creswell 1994a; Whitfield 2003), choice of feeding or stopover location (Piersma et al. 1993a; Creswell 1994b; Whitfi”

Small home ranges and high site fidelity in red knots (Calidris c. canutus) wintering on the Banc d’Arguin, Mauritania (2006, background): “Traditionally, studies on spacing behaviour have focused on individuals at the local level, showing how behavioural traits such as territoriality, flocking behaviour, aggressiveness, and roost dispersion are adjusted to foraging opportunities, levels of raptorial predation, and other environmental c”
Antipredator strategies of house finches: are urban habitats safe spots from predators even when humans are around? (2009, background): “Birds are known to respond to an increase in predation risk by grouping (Whitfield 2003; Beauchamp 2004).”
Safety in numbers: the dilution effect and other drivers of group life in the face of danger (2016, background): “Many animals take advantage of this by migrating in flocks (Whitfield 2003), by reproducing synchronously (Sweeney and Vannote 1982), or by living gregarious lives (Yano 2012).”
Tradeoffs between food abundance and predation danger in spatial usage of a stopover site by western sandpipers, Calidris mauri (2006, background): “Evidence from several shorebird systems indicates that safety from avian predators increases with distance from the shoreline (Lazarus and Symonds 1992, Buchanan 1996, Cresswell 1996, Dekker 1998, Whitfield 2003, Dekker and Ydenberg 2004).”
