Abstract
Behavioral adjustment of ravens (Corvus corax) and possibly starlings (Sturnus vulgaris) by depending on crow (C. brachyrhynchos) sentinels perhaps enables them to exploit more safely a potentially hazardous food source, and possibly increases overwinter survival of participating individuals for the next breeding season.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
