| Title | Risk of Predation: a Critical Force Driving Habitat Quality Perception and Foraging Behavior of Granivorous Birds in a Nigerian Forest Reserve |
| Creator | Abdulwahab, Umarfarooq A. Osinubi, Samuel Temidayo Abalaka, Jacinta |
| Description | Background: Understanding the factors that influence the foraging behavior and perception of habitat quality by animals has long been the focus in ecology. Due to the direct effect resource acquisition has on an individual’s fitness and species’ survival, predation risk is considered widely to be a major driver of foraging decision. The objectives of this study were to investigate how predation risk is perceived by granivorous bird species with respect to different habitat and microhabitat... |
