• When Good Animals Love Bad Habitats: Ecological Traps and the Conservation of Animal Populations (2004, background): “…of ecological traps, because none has been conducted over a long enough time period to document population declines in source habitats or in the overall population, as predicted by ecological trap theory (declines in the trap habitat would not be expected until the source was largely depleted).”
• Providing nest boxes for hole-nesting birds – Does habitat matter? (2005, background): “Deterministic models show that behavioural preference for a habitat that yields no net reproduction (‘sink habitat’) can lead to population decline, even when such a habitat is relatively scarce (Delibes et al. 2001a; Donovan and Lamberson 2001; Donovan and Thompson 2001; Kokko and Sutherland 2001).”
• The role of habitat selection behavior in population dynamics: source -sink systems and ecological traps (2003, methodology): “Theoretical treatments of ecological traps by Delibes et al. (2001) and Donovan and Thompson (2001) established them as a distinct phenomenon, but their models continued the tradition of treating variation in habitat quality as a patch-level effect.”
• Post‐fledging survival in passerine birds and the value of post‐fledging studies to conservation (2014, background): “…are often sensitive to first-year survival (i.e., juvenile survival, or the probability of surviving from fledging to the first breeding season; Donovan and Thompson 2001, Bonnot et al. 2011), but because of the difficulty in tracking long-distance migrants or even shortdistance dispersers,…”
• Spatial ecology and conservation of seabirds facing global climate change: a review (2009, unknown): “In that sense, they are likely victims of ecological traps, which are defined as habitats 'low in quality for reproduction and survival [that] cannot sustain a population, yet…[are] preferred over other available, high-quality habitats' (Donovan & Thompson 2001, p. 872).”
• IS SELECTIVELY HARVESTED FOREST AN ECOLOGICAL TRAP FOR OLIVE-SIDED FLYCATCHERS? (2007, background): “Ecological traps are predicted to have significant, often dramatic, negative effects on the persistence of populations of wild animals (Delibes et al. 2001, Donovan and Thompson 2001, Kokko and Sutherland 2001).”
• A habitat-based framework for grizzly bear conservation in Alberta (2006, unknown): “These ‘attractive’ habitat patches can produce local population sinks, and therefore have been called attractive sinks (Delibes et al., 2001; Naves et al., 2003) or ecological traps (Dwernychuk and Boag, 1972; Ratti and Reese, 1988; Donovan and Thompson, 2001 ).”
• Impact of Urbanization on Birds (2018, background): “Hence, if the ecological trap (city preference) is strong, the urban habitat will continue to attract rural birds to the city where they will suffer the negative consequences, ultimately reducing the species future chances of survival (Donovan and Thompson 2001).”
