Signals of fertility in female animals are of increasing interest to evolutionary biologists, a development that coincides with increasing interest in male mate choice and the potential for female traits to evolve under sexual selection. We...
Costs of reproduction in a long-lived female primate: injury risk and wound healing [0.03%]
灵长目动物的繁殖成本:受伤风险和伤口愈合

Reproduction is a notoriously costly phase of life, exposing individuals to injury, infectious disease, and energetic tradeoffs. The strength of these costs should be influenced by life history strategies, and in long-lived species, females...
Signaling in multiple modalities in male rhesus macaques: sex skin coloration and barks in relation to androgen levels, social status, and mating behavior [0.03%]
公恒河猴多模信号及其与雄性激素、社会地位和求偶行为的关系:雌性生殖期皮肤颜色和鸣叫声的变化

The past decade has seen an increasing shift in animal communication towards more studies that incorporate aspects of signaling in multiple modalities. Although nonhuman primates are an excellent group for studying the extent to which diffe...
A test of multiple hypotheses for the function of call sharing in female budgerigars, Melopsittacus undulatus [0.03%]
多项假设检验评估虎皮鹦鹉(Melopsittacus undulatus)雌鸟鸣声共享功能的实验

Christine R Dahlin et al.
In many social species group, members share acoustically similar calls. Functional hypotheses have been proposed for call sharing, but previous studies have been limited by an inability to distinguish among these hypotheses. We examined the...
Effects of kinship or familiarity? Small thrips larvae experience lower predation risk only in groups of mixed-size siblings [0.03%]
亲戚关系或熟悉程度的影响?只有和兄弟姐妹组成的混合大小群体中,小个体的蓟马才能降低被捕食风险

In many species of insects, larvae are distributed in an aggregated fashion. As they may differ in size and size matters to predation risk, small larvae may be less likely to fall prey to predators when near large and therefore better-defen...
Evolution of within-colony distribution patterns of birds in response to habitat structure [0.03%]
鸟类对生境结构的响应及其在巢群内的分布变化

It has long been suggested that habitat structure affects how colonial birds are distributed within their nesting aggregations, but this hypothesis has never been formally tested. The aim of this study was to test for a correlated evolution...
Limited geographic variation in the acoustic structure of and responses to adult male alarm barks of African green monkeys [0.03%]
非洲绿猴成年雄性警告叫声的声学结构及反应的地理变化较小

The global diversity of human languages is a remarkable feature of our species, which requires a capacity for rapid vocal learning. Given that primate alarm calling systems have played an important role in the language origin debate, identi...

In haplodiploid insects, males develop from unfertilized eggs; consequently, unmated females can reproduce. In a patchy, highly structured population, where brothers compete for mates and the reproductive return through sons is lower, femal...
Seminal fluid protein depletion and replenishment in the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster: an ELISA-based method for tracking individual ejaculates [0.03%]
基于酶联免疫吸附法的果蝇(Drosophila melanogaster)精液蛋白损耗和补充的方法:追踪个体精子的新方法

Laura K Sirot et al.
In many species, seminal fluid proteins (SFPs) affect female post-mating behavioral patterns, including sperm storage, egg laying, feeding, and remating. Yet, few studies have investigated the patterns of allocation, depletion, and replenis...
Behavioral type-environment correlations in the field: a study of three-spined stickleback [0.03%]

Behavioral type-environment correlations occur when specific behavioral types of individuals are more common in certain environments. Behavioral type-environment correlations can be generated by several different mechanisms that are probabl...
