[EN] Breeding habitat selection is strongly influenced by social information, which is that extracted from the behaviour and performance of other individuals. Also, signals shaped by selection to convey information may be used by unintended receivers as a particular form of social information that has been neglected in a breeding habitat selection context so far. Here, we first tested experimentally whether Eurasian kestrels (Falco tinnunculus) rely on social information provided by conspecifics’ performance by studying the impact of patch scale manipulations of the local reproductive success of conspecifics on their habitat selection during two consecutive years. Second, we provide correlative evidence for the use of plumage coloration of ...
