Tamako Miyazaki et al.
Scent emitted from anal sac secretions provides important signals for most Carnivora. Their secretions emit a variety of volatile compounds, some of which function as chemical signals with information about the scent owners. The domestic ca...

Despite the increasing interest in the use of intromittent male genitalia and coercive mating behaviour in poeciliids, detailed studies of the mating behaviour of most species in this family are lacking. We describe here the mating and aggr...
Thermal dependence of trap building in predatory antlion larvae (Neuroptera: Myrmeleontidae) [0.03%]
捕食性的蚁蛉幼虫的陷阱挖掘行为受温度影响（ Neuroptera: Myrmeleontidae）
Andrzej Antoł,Wiktoria Rojek,Krzysztof Miler et al.
Andrzej Antoł et al.
Trap-building predators remain under strong selection from thermal microenvironments. To address how soil temperature and body size affect trap building, we conducted a laboratory experiment using larvae of the antlion Myrmeleon bore at six...
Early arriving males wait longer for a mate than later arrivals: the case of a migratory monogamous passerine bird species [0.03%]
早期到达的雄性比后期到达的雄性等待配偶的时间更长：以一种迁徙型单配性鸣鸟为例

Individuals that arrive earlier on the breeding grounds may obtain many advantages but they also have to spend time waiting for a mate. I studied the waiting times of male red-breasted flycatchers Ficedula parva, a small, migratory, sexuall...
Assessing personality in San Joaquin kit fox in situ: efficacy of field-based experimental methods and implications for conservation management [0.03%]
桑乔金-kit狐狸的现场性格评估：基于现场实验的方法的有效性及其对保护管理的意义
Samantha Bremner-Harrison,Brian L Cypher,Christine Van Horn Job et al.
Samantha Bremner-Harrison et al.
Utilisation of animal personality has potential benefit for conservation management. Due to logistics of robust behavioural evaluation in situ, the majority of studies on wild animals involve taking animals into captivity for testing, poten...
Unique arm-flapping behavior of the pharaoh cuttlefish, Sepia pharaonis: putative mimicry of a hermit crab [0.03%]
法老墨鱼（Sepia pharaonis）独特的臂摇行为或拟态寄居蟹
Kohei Okamoto,Haruhiko Yasumuro,Akira Mori et al.
Kohei Okamoto et al.
Cephalopods are able to control their arms sophisticatedly and use them for various behaviors, such as camouflage, startling predators and hunting prey. Here, we report a previously undescribed arm-flapping behavior of the pharaoh cuttlefis...
Sometimes noise is beneficial: stream noise informs vocal communication in the little torrent frog Amolops torrentis [0.03%]
有时噪声是有益的：溪流噪声告知山溪树蛙的声音交流
Longhui Zhao,Bicheng Zhu,Jichao Wang et al.
Longhui Zhao et al.
Many kinds of environmental noise can interfere with acoustic communication and efficient decision making in terrestrial species. Here we identified an exception to this generalization in a streamside species, the little torrent frog (Amolo...
Setting an evolutionary trap: could the hider strategy be maladaptive for white-tailed deer? [0.03%]
进化陷阱：白尾鹿的隐藏策略可能是适应不良的吗？
M Colter Chitwood,Marcus A Lashley,Christopher E Moorman et al.
M Colter Chitwood et al.
An evolutionary trap occurs when an organism makes a formerly adaptive decision that now results in a maladaptive outcome. Such traps can be induced by anthropogenic environmental changes, with nonnative species introductions being a leadin...
Male mate choice in a sexually cannibalistic species: male escapes from hungry females in the praying mantid Tenodera angustipennis [0.03%]
寡食雄性偏好：窄脉刀螳拒绝饥饿雌性以降低被食风险
Mika Kadoi,Kotaro Morimoto,Yasuoki Takami
Mika Kadoi
While competing males and choosy females may be common in animal mating systems, male choice can evolve under certain conditions. Sexual cannibalism is such a condition because of the high mortality risk for males. In mantids, female body c...
Behavioral assay and chemical characters of female sex pheromones in the hermit crab Pagurus filholi [0.03%]
隐花蟹Pagurus filholi雌性的化学信息素及其行为学实验和化学性质研究
Saori Okamura,Takuma Kawaminami,Hiroshi Matsuura et al.
Saori Okamura et al.
Males of the hermit crab Pagurus filholi perform assessment behavior toward females, as a preliminary step of precopulatory guarding, during the reproductive season. It is known that such behavior is elicited by female sex pheromones, but t...
