• Understanding variation in behavioural responses to human-induced rapid environmental change: a conceptual overview (2013, background): “In social groups, individual responses are often influenced by the responses of others (Stamps 1991; Galef & Giraldeau 2001; Galef & Laland 2005).”
• Research Needs and Recommendations for the use of Conspecific-Attraction Methods in the Conservation of Migratory Songbirds (2010, background): “Finally, use of conspecific cues to locate habitat may be especially valuable if the costs of searching and settlement are high and the time spent searching can be reduced (Stamps 1988, 1991, Mönkkönen et al. 1999, Fletcher 2006).”
• Making habitat selection more “familiar”: a review (2011, background): “In fact, animals have imperfect information about the inherent quality of different territories (Stamps 1991; Hugie and Grand 1998; Johnson 2007 and references therein) because comparing them is costly (Ward 1987; Danielson 1992) and/or quality is unpredictable (Bollmann et al. 1997; Arlt and Part…”
• Habitat quality, conspecific density, and habitat pre-use affect the dispersal behaviour of two earthworm species, Aporrectodea icterica and Dendrobaena veneta, in a mesocosm experiment (2010, background): “Many species of insects, birds and mammals present negative density dependence, which often results from conspecific attraction (Danielson and Gaines, 1987; Stamps, 1991).”
• MEASURING HABITAT QUALITY: A REVIEW (2007, background): “…effects by Stephens and Sutherland [1999]), and high density can be attractive to an individual if conspecifics are useful cues for resources insensitive to density-dependent competition (see reviews by Stamps 1991, Ahlering and Faaborg 2006) or for species that enjoy marked benefits of sociality.”
• Predictive models of habitat preferences for the Eurasian eagle owl Bubo bubo: A multiscale approach (2003, background): “Second, eagle owls may be cuing on local environmental quality by the presence of conspecifics, as useful way to assess habitat suitability indirectly (Stamps 1991, Muller et al. 1997, Serrano et al. 2001).”
• Dispersal within a spatially structured population of lesser kestrels: the role of spatial isolation and conspecific attraction (2003, background): “…to determine settling patterns; animals would take their dispersal decisions based on the presence of conspecifics (Smith & Peacock 1990; Stamps 1991; Muller et al. 1997), especially in colonial species such as the lesser kestrel (Forbes & Kaiser 1994; Brown & Rannala 1995; Oro & Pradel…”
• Behavioral tradeoffs when dispersing across a patchy landscape (2005, background): “Some studies suggest that perceptual range may be maximal under conditions that also increase the level of predation risk (Stamps 1991) or other sources of mortality such as desiccation (Yeomans 1995).”
• Conspecific Attraction and the Conservation of Territorial Songbirds (2004, background): “Presumably, these returning birds acted as a seed for their local populations and attracted new birds to the sites (as described by Stamps 1991).”
