Reduced pH sea water disrupts chemo-responsive behaviour in an intertidal crustacean (2012, background): “Most information gathering is mediated via visual, tactile, auditory and olfactory senses; however, environmental factors can disrupt such activities (Schmidt et al., 2010).”
Nest predation research: recent findings and future perspectives (2015, background): “Recent investigations on social information use by birds within communities have opened exciting new perspectives within this field (Dall et al. 2005; Seppänen et al. 2007; Schmidt et al. 2010).”
Antipredator calls of tufted titmice and interspecific transfer of encoded threat information (2012, background): “…species as participants (Hurd 1996; Sieving et al. 2004; Langham et al. 2006; Schmidt et al. 2008), thereby providing opportunity for field tests of how animals perceive, process, share, and respond to ecologically and socially important information (Schmidt et al. 2010; Sieving et al. 2010).”
Reduced sea water pH disrupts resource assessment and decision making in the hermit crab Pagurus bernhardus (2011, background): “Variability and disruption make decision making a more complex process for animals, where the consequences of their choices cannot be knownapriori, introducing thepossibility ofmaladaptive, aswell as adaptive, responses (Dall et al. 2005; Miner et al. 2005; Schmidt et al. 2010).”
