Evolutionary and ecological traps for brown bears Ursus arctos in human‐modified landscapes (2018, background): “…sink systems is a priority in conservation biology, as sinks that are actually traps may attract a considerable portion of the source population, which may lead to overall population decrease or even extinction (Delibes et al. 2001, Kokko & Sutherland 2001, Kristan 2003, Gilroy & Sutherland 2007).”
The role of habitat selection behavior in population dynamics: source -sink systems and ecological traps (2003, background): “Although natural ecological traps may be rare, they may be common where human activities have rapidly changed the relationship between the attractiveness and quality of habitat (Pulliam 1996, Remes 2000, Delibes et al. 2001a, b).”
Providing nest boxes for hole-nesting birds – Does habitat matter? (2005, background): “The latter – a preferred but worse habitat – has been called an ‘ecological trap’ (Gates and Gysel 1978; Kokko and Sutherland 2001; Schlaepfer et al. 2002), which may become an ‘attractive sink’ if mortality in the ‘trap’ exceeds the birth rate (Delibes et al. 2001a, b).”
When to use public information for breeding habitat selection? The role of environmental predictability and density dependence (2003, background): “In this case, maladaptive breeding habitat choice leads to increased risks of population extinction (Delibes et al. 2001; Kokko & Sutherland 2001).”
A new habitat availability index to integrate connectivity in landscape conservation planning : Comparison with existing indices and application to a case study (2007, background): “due to hunting or pesticides) from good-condition habitat ( Delibes et al., 2001 ).”
Analyzing the effect of stepping stones on target patch colonisation in structured landscapes for Eurasian lynx (2011, background): “In this sense, the putative stepping stones could turn into ‘attractive sinks’ (Delibes et al. 2001).”
Effects of changes in farming of subalpine meadows on a grassland bird, the whinchat (Saxicola rubetra) (2004, background): “‘‘Attractive sinks’’ could result from unexpected risks of mortality or from unforeseen poor breeding prospects (ecological trap, sensu Delibes et al. 2001; Pulliam 1996; Remesˇ 2000).”
