Ecology and conservation of avian insectivores of the rainforest understory: A pantropical perspective (2015, background): “Such associations have their rewards: species that frequent flocks increase their survival (Jullien and Clobert, 2000; Cruz-Angón et al., 2008) and therefore losing flock leaders that help aggregate such flocks can ultimately diminish avian communities in multiple ways (Dolby and Grubb, 2000; Maldon”

Why do birds participate in mixed-species foraging flocks? A large-scale synthesis (2009, background): “These benefits accrued through participation in mixed-species flocks could result in higher fitness; work on Neotropical flocks has shown that flock participants tended to have higher survival rates than those species that do not participate in flocks (Jullien & Clobert 2000).”
