Abstract

Lay Summary A late arriving migrant bird species (wood warbler) are attracted to simulated presence of an earlier arriving species (chiffchaff). This habitat selection strategy was previously only described for migrants attracting to resident species, but we show that using other species as cues for good breeding sites also occurs between migrants. Wood warblers use a combination of personal information, and cues based on individuals of the same and different species to make settlement decisions.Twitter: @szymkowiakj
