TL;DR: Test the hypothesis that animal species may monitor the current reproductive success of conspecifics to assess local habitat quality and to choose their own subsequent breeding site by manipulating two components of public information, the mean number of offspring raised locally and their condition, in the collared flycatcher Ficedula albicollis.

TL;DR: A two-patch, game-theoretical model is built to compare the success of a strategy of breeding habitat selection based on patch reproductive success relative to four other strategies, showing how the efficiency of strategies in tracking variations in patch quality depend on environmental predictability and costs linked to density dependence, themselves linked to the dynamics of spatial aggregation of individuals.

TL;DR: It is suggested that oxidative stress may play a significant role in shaping fecundity and survival in the wild, and the nature of the covariation between resistance to oxidative stress and life history traits is sex specific, high resistance to antioxidant stress covarying primarily with fecundness in females and with survival in males.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the availability and use of public information and conspecific density for settlement decisions in the collared flycatcher in the United Kingdom and Australia.

TL;DR: Analysis of long‐term monitoring data on breeding collared flycatchers has revealed equal numbers of immigrations and emigrations between neighboring populations of different sizes, providing the first empirical evidence for a system of discrete habitat patches with component populations that exist as simultaneous sources and sinks to their neighbors.
