• Individual behavioural consistency and plasticity in an urban spider (2012, unknown): “Previous studies have identified traits related to species’ abilities to cope well in anthropogenic environments, such as fast growth and a short reproductive cycle, high mobility, high aggressiveness and activity, low neophobia (boldness), high phenotypic plasticity and tolerance to a wide range of”
• Ecological implications of behavioural syndromes. (2012, background): “Using flight initiation distance (the distance that animals allow humans to approach before fleeing) as a measure of boldness, recent studies found that urban birds tend to be bolder than rural counterparts (Evans et al. 2010; Moller 2010) and that cautious species (that flee before humans come clos”
• Risk-taking behavior, urbanization and the pace of life in birds (2018, background): “This may explain why FID is shorter in urban than in rural environments (Møller 2010; Møller et al. 2015).”
• Escape behaviour of birds provides evidence of predation being involved in urbanization (2012, background): “uniformly short flight distances becoming established in urban areas (Møller 2010).”
• Understanding variation in behavioural responses to human-induced rapid environmental change: a conceptual overview (2013, background): “Bolder animals have higher response thresholds for avoiding danger and should thus be more likely to exploit novel opportunities (e.g. invade urban habitats: Møller 2008, 2010; McCleery 2009; Evans et al. 2010) than fearful, reactive individuals, but also more likely to ignore novel predators.”
