Inadvertent social information in breeding site selection of natal dispersing birds
JJ Nocera, GJ Forbes… - Proceedings of the …, 2006 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Several species use the number of young produced as public information (PI) to assess
breeding site quality. PI is inaccessible for synchronously breeding birds because nests are …

Habitat and food supply across multiple spatial scales influence the distribution and abundance of a nocturnal aerial insectivore
PA English, JJ Nocera, BA Pond, DJ Green - Landscape Ecology, 2017 - Springer
Context Conservation research often focuses on individual threats at a single spatial scale,
but population declines can result from multiple stressors occurring at different spatial scales. …
