Understanding how individual behaviour influences the spatial and temporal distribution of
other species is necessary to resolve the complex structure of species assemblages. Mixed …

The occurrence of mixed‐species foraging flocks is a worldwide phenomenon in terrestrial
bird communities. Previous studies suggest that individuals participating in flocks might …

Abstract Willow Tits Poecile montanus produce calls when they discover food sources.
These calls function to attract conspecific and heterospecific individuals to the food site …

Mixed-species flocks of foraging birds have been documented from terrestrial habitats all
over the world and are thought to form for either improved feeding efficiency or better …

I studied changes in body mass in response to the presence ofheterospecifics in
mixedspecies flocks of free-living Willow and Crested Tits. Body reserves of Willow Tits as …

Associations in mixed-species foraging groups are common in animals, yet have rarely been
explored in the context of collective behaviour. Despite many investigations into the social …

We investigated whether different species of birds associated with each other while foraging
during the breeding season. On average 50% of foraging observations were in mixed …

Mixed‐species flocks of birds involve species with different roles and foraging strategies and
are ubiquitous in forest environments. Species roles can broadly be categorized into leaders …

Varied Tits Parus varius lived in flocks containing a pair, or a pair with one or two unpaired
birds. To test whether the sociality of Varied Tits or their participation in mixed‐species flocks …
