Foraging behaviour alters with social environment in a juvenile songbird (2020)
Journal Article
Franks, V., G. Ewen, J., McCready, M., & Thorogood, R. (2020). Foraging behaviour alters with social environment in a juvenile songbird. Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 287(1939), https://doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2020.1878

Early independence from parents is a critical period where social information acquired vertically may become outdated, or conflict with new information. However, across natural populations, it is unclear if newly independent young persist in using in... Read More about Foraging behaviour alters with social environment in a juvenile songbird.
