Making habitat selection more “familiar”: a review (2011, background): “Second, public information is clearly important to initial settlement through: (1) conspecific attraction, by which prebreeders cue on the presence of conspecifics and settle near them (Stamps 1988; Schmitt and Holbrook 1996; Muller et al. 1997; Ward and Schlossberg 2004) and (2) use of cues that in”
DISPERSAL AND SOCIAL ATTRACTION AFFECT COLONY SELECTION AND DYNAMICS OF LESSER KESTRELS (2004, background): “…strong evidence that individuals may cue on the presence and abundance of conspecifics to select where to settle (‘‘social or conspecific attraction hypothesis’’; e.g., Stamps 1988, Hoeck 1989, Booth 1992, Pawlik 1992, Muller et al. 1997, Muller 1998, Etterson 2003, Ward and Schlossberg 2004).”
Current status and future directions of applied behavioral research for animal welfare and conservation (2007, background): “Such manipulations can be quite simple and cost-effective; for example, using model decoys (Jeffries and Brunton, 2001), song playback (Ward and Schlossberg, 2004), or in the case of griffon vultures, painting the ground white to mimic the accumulation of feces in a breeding colony (Sarrazin et al.”
Competitor density cues for habitat quality facilitating habitat selection and investment decisions (2008, background): “Second, as is already done with conspecific attraction ( Ward and Schlossberg 2004 ), manipulation of density of demonstrator species could be used in conservation purposes aiming to either attract or repel focal species and affect its investment decisions.”
From eavesdropping on performance to copying the behavior of others: a review of public information use (2007, unknown): “Certainly, reestablishment efforts need to pay attention to the possibility that successful reestablishment may require providing some form of PI to potential breeders (Ward and Schlossberg 2004; Sergio and Penteriani 2005).”
Conspecific Attraction is a Missing Component in Wildlife Habitat Modeling (2008, methodology): “Researchers have found through field and laboratory experiments that conspecific attraction explains clustered distributions for some species (Stamps 1988, Muller 1998, Poysa et al. 1998, Ward and Schlossberg 2004; reviewed by Ahlering and Faaborg 2006).”
Research Needs and Recommendations for the use of Conspecific-Attraction Methods in the Conservation of Migratory Songbirds (2010, background): “Ward and Schlossberg (2004) showed that nest success of the Black-capped Vireo was relatively high where recordings were broadcast and Brownheaded Cowbirds (Molothrus ater) were managed.”
When good animals love bad restored habitats: how maladaptive habitat selection can constrain restoration (2017, background): “For example, Black-capped Vireo (Vireo atricapilla) settled into previously unoccupied sites in Texas after vocalizations were broadcast (Ward & Schlossberg 2004).”
AVIAN HABITAT MANAGEMENT MEETS CONSPECIFIC ATTRACTION: IF YOU BUILD IT, WILL THEY COME? (2006, background): “…has been emphasized for some endangered species through presence or increased abundance (or both) on a local scale (Jeff ries and Brunton 2001, Ward and Schlossberg 2004); however, our understanding of the possible costs and benefi ts of such behavioral manipulations to all the existing…”
The emerging significance of bioacoustics in animal species conservation (2010, background): “…species management plans, to attract individuals and promote territory establishment in suitable but empty habitat patches through the exploitation of conspecific attraction behaviour (Ward and Schlossberg 2004, Alhering et al. 2006, Hahn and Silverman 2007, Fletcher 2008; see also section 4.2).”
