栖息地选择是鸟类选择栖息地的决策过程。对于个人来说，做出正确的选择至关重要，因为他们的生活空间直接影响他们的健康。在作出定居决定时，鸟类面临着栖息地质量的不确定性。为了减少它，他们必须获得信息，这使得他们的世界更可预测。生境质量信息的获取和利用是生境选择过程的核心部分。个人可以通过各种方式获得有关栖息地质量的信息，例如，通过使用自己的育种经验（个人信息），或通过观察其他个体的行为和决定（社会信息）。在这篇综述中，我简要介绍了鸣禽用来评估栖息地质量的社会信息类型。通过使用统一的方法，我评估了它们的价值和可用性的个人，得出的结论是，同时使用几种类型的信息提供了最有效的方式来生境质量评估。此外，我认为，为什么山雀（山雀科）构成了一个重要的环节，在整个泛北极鸣禽的通信网络种间社会信息传递链，并建议他们可以被视为基石线索提供者。此外，我评估了目前的文献中的人工吸引力的方法，并强调迫切的研究需求，在其实际应用的背景下，在保护和管理的鸣禽种群。
Habitat selection is a decision-making process that birds use to select a habitat in which they live. It is crucial for individuals to make the correct choices, because their living space directly affects their fitness. When making settlement decisions, birds are faced with uncertainty about habitat quality. In order to reduce it, they have to acquire information, which makes their world more predictable. Acquisition and use of information about habitat quality is the central part of the habitat selection process. Individuals can acquire information about habitat quality in various ways, e.g., by using own breeding experience (personal information), or by observing behavior and decisions made by other individuals (social information). In this review I briefly described the types of social information which songbirds use to assess the habitat quality. By using unified approach, I evaluated their value and availability for individuals, concluding that simultaneous use of several types of information provide the most effective way to habitat quality assessment. Furthermore, I argued why tits (Paridae) constitute a crucial link in the chain of interspecific social information transfer within songbirds’ communication networks throughout the Holarctic and suggested that they may be considered as the keystone cue-providers. Moreover, I evaluated current literature on the artificial-attraction methods and highlighted urgent research needs in context of its practical application in the conservation and management of songbirds populations.
