• Tools and brains in birds (2002, background): “…New LEFEBVRE, NICOLAKAKIS & BOIRE Zealand, southern Africa), collected by exhaustively searching the short note sections of 67 ornithology journals over an average of 30 years (see Lefebvre et al., 1997, 1998 and Nicolakakis & Lefebvre, 2000, for examples and details on the collection method).”
• Innovation and social learning: individual variation and brain evolution * (2003, unknown): “…in research effort or the effect of common ancestry (Harvey and Pagel, 1991), but these can be taken into account and controlled for (Lefebvre et al., 1997, 1998, 2001; Lefebvre, 2000; Nicolakakis and Lefebvre, 2000; Reader and Laland, 2002; Reader, in press; Reader and MacDonald, in press).”
• Behavioural flexibility predicts species richness in birds, but not extinction risk (2003, background): “As in Nicolakakis & Lefebvre (2000) and Lefebvre et al. (2001), research effort was estimated from the number of full-length papers per taxonomic group.”
• Comparing the Complex Cognition of Birds and Primates (2004, background): “…functionally equivalent (analogous) structures to the mammalian neocortex (see next section), ones that may correlate with measures of higher cognition, such as feeding innovation (Lefebrve et al., 1997; Nicolakakis and Lefebvre, 2000; Timmermans et al., 2000) and tool use (Lefebvre et al., 2002).”
• Are innovative species ecological generalists? A test in North American birds (2011, unknown): “As in previous work by Lefebvre and colleagues (Nicolakakis and Lefebvre 2000; Timmermans et al. 2000; Sol, Duncan, et al. 2005), we corrected for research effort, given that the number of innovations noted by ornithologists is higher for more intensely studied groups of birds.”
• Technical innovations drive the relationship between innovativeness and residual brain size in birds (2009, unknown): “Previous work (Nicolakakis & Lefebvre 2000; Morand-Ferron et al. 2007) has also shown that research effort is highly correlated with species number per taxon and taxonomic distribution of photos in birding magazines (R2 ¼ 0.688–0.889).”
• Behavioural flexibility and invasion success in birds (2002, background): “Recently, Lefebvre and collaborators 0003–3472/02/030495+08 $35.00/0 495 (Lefebvre et al. 1997, 1998; Nicolakakis & Lefebvre 2000) have proposed that the frequency of new and unusual feeding behaviours reported in the short note section of ornithology journals may be a good operational definition…”
• Living in the city: can anyone become an ‘urban exploiter'? (2007, methodology): “We extracted data on feeding innovations from studies by Lefebvre and colleagues (Lefebvre et al., 1997, 2002; Nicolakakis & Lefebvre, 2000; Timmermans et al., 2000; Sol et al., 2002).”
