• Network structure and parasite transmission in a group living lizard, the gidgee skink, Egernia stokesii (2009, background): “‘Floater’ individuals may move among groups, or sex-biased dispersal may permit transmission of parasites beyond the social group (Altizer et al. 2003; Brown and Brown 2004).”
• Allee Effects in Ecology and Conservation (2008, background): “Cliff swallows (Petrochelidon pyrrhonota) in larger colonies had lower mortality from predation by great horned owls (Brown and Brown 2004).”
• EFFECTS OF ENDOGENOUS STEROID HORMONE LEVELS ON ANNUAL SURVIVAL IN CLIFF SWALLOWS (2005, methodology): “Nests within these colonies were sprayed with a dilute solution of an insecticide, Dibrom, that was highly effective in killing swallow bugs (Brown and Brown 1996, 2004a).”
• Effect of gyrodactylid ectoparasites on host behaviour and social network structure in guppies Poecilia reticulata (2011, background): “The implications of socially transmitted diseases for social behaviour have received considerable attention (see Côté and Poulinb 1995); however, previous empirical work on this topic has tended to focus on the level of the social group (Brown and Brown 2004; Arnold and Anja 1993; Loehle 1995).”
• Glucocorticoid Hormone Levels Increase with Group Size and Parasite Load in Cliff Swallows (2006, methodology): “To investigate this possibility, we identified the colonies in 2000 and 2001 where transients were suspected to occur by fitting a series of within-season survival and recapture models to the daily capture data for all birds at each site each year ( Brown & Brown 2004b ).”
