• NEST PREDATION IN AN URBANIZING LANDSCAPE:THE ROLE OF EXOTIC SHRUBS (2004, background): “In addition, the lack of association between nest-site characteristics and nest fate may result if the predator community is diverse, as different search behaviors can preclude ‘‘safe’’ nest sites (Filliater et al. 1994, Misenhelter and Rotenberry 2000, Chase 2002).”
• Assessments of habitat preferences and quality depend on spatial scale and metrics of fitness (2007, background): “However, unambiguous examples of adaptive habitat preferences are uncommon (Mayhew 1997; Martin 1998; Clark & Shutler 1999; Misenhelter & Rotenberry 2000; Robertson & Hutto 2006).”
• Effects of Exotic Habitat on Nesting Success, Territory Density, and Settlement Patterns in the Blackcap (Sylvia atricapilla ) (2003, background): “Several researchers, based on ecological trap reasoning, suggest that birds exhibit maladaptive selection of breeding habitat (Gates & Gysel 1978; Purcell & Verner 1998) and nest sites (Misenhelter & Rotenberry 2000).”
• Repeatability of nesting preferences in the hawksbill sea turtle, Eretmochelys imbricata, and their fitness consequences (2005, background): “Seddon & Davis 1989; Penn & Brockmann 1994; Misenhelter & Rotenberry 2000 ).”
• Research Needs and Recommendations for the use of Conspecific-Attraction Methods in the Conservation of Migratory Songbirds (2010, background): “…individuals select the best habitats for settlement (Fretwell and Lucas 1969, McPeek et al. 2001), in reality individuals may make non-ideal choices and occupy poorer habitats before better ones (Misenhelter and Rotenberry 2000, Stamps and Krishnan 2005, Stamps et al. 2005, Arlt and Pärt 2008).”
• The role of habitat selection behavior in population dynamics: source -sink systems and ecological traps (2003, background): “Additionally, changes that affect the distribution of predator communities independent of the habitat may uncouple the traditional relationship between habitat and risk of predation, thereby producing a trap (Misenhelter and Rotenberry 2000).”
• Ecological traps in isodars: effects of tallgrass prairie management on bird nest success (2005, background): “If predation decreases nest success, then the scenario in managed tallgrass prairie in Oklahoma is similar to what Misenhelter and Rotenberry (2000) described for sage sparrows (Amphispiza belli ) in southern California.”
• When Good Animals Love Bad Habitats: Ecological Traps and the Conservation of Animal Populations (2004, background): “Similarly, Sage Sparrows (Amphispiza belli) nesting in California coastal sage-scrub appear to select nesting territories in sites where nest failure is highest (Misenhelter & Rotenberry 2000).”
• Site fidelity in habitats with contrasting levels of nest predation and brood parasitism (2001, background): “We might expect birds to minimize the risk of predation by choosing a habitat with, for example, adequate vegetation cover, but structural characteristics are often unrelated to nest predation rates (Filliater et al., 1994; Braden, 1999; Schmidt and Whelan, 1999b; Misenhelter and Rotenberry, 2000).”
• Predators and the breeding bird: behavioral and reproductive flexibility under the risk of predation (2009, background): “Such native habitat might now function as a trap for sage sparrows (Misenhelter & Rotenberry, 2000).”
• IS SELECTIVELY HARVESTED FOREST AN ECOLOGICAL TRAP FOR OLIVE-SIDED FLYCATCHERS? (2007, background): “1 E-mail: bruce.robertson@mso.umt.edu [109] ence remains unchanged, but the positive outcome normally associated with a given cue becomes a negative outcome (Misenhelter and Rotenberry 2000).”
• Gulliver travels to the fragmented tropics: geographic variation in mechanisms of avian extinction (2005, background): “In such instances, forest birds may be common, but fail at reproduction because of brood parasitism or nest predation, a situation sometimes referred to as an ecological trap ( Misenhelter and Rotenberry 2000 ).”
• Ecological traps in changing environments: Ecological and evolutionary consequences of a behaviourally mediated Allee effect (2001, background): “Sage sparrows (Amphispiza belli) in southern California were shown to have a preference for habitat types that resulted in lower reproductive success (Misenhelter and Rotenberry, 2000), which the study’s authors speculated was a consequence of anthropogenic habitat change influencing the distributio”
