Mate-guarding is an important determinant of male reproductive success in a number of species. Little is known however about the constraints of this behaviour, e.g. the associated energetic costs. We investigated these costs in long-tailed ...
The endocrinology of male rhesus macaque social and reproductive status: a test of the challenge and social stress hypotheses [0.03%]
雄性恒河猴社会和生殖地位的内分泌学:对压力和社会压力假说的一种检验

Social status primarily determines male mammalian reproductive success, and hypotheses on the endocrinology of dominance have stimulated unprecedented investigation of its costs and benefits. Under the challenge hypothesis, male testosteron...
Female preferences for spectral call properties in the western genetic lineage of Cope's gray treefrog (Hyla chrysoscelis) [0.03%]

Female frogs discriminate among potential mates based on individual variation in male advertisement calls. While considerable data have accumulated allowing comparisons of female preference functions among species, we still lack fundamental...
How a songbird with a continuous singing style modulates its song when territorially challenged [0.03%]
歌声连续的画眉在领地受到挑战时如何调节其歌声

In songbirds of the temperate zone, often only males sing and their songs serve to attract females and to deter territorial rivals. In many species, males vary certain aspects of their singing behavior when engaged in territorial interactio...

Females often show multi-male mating (MMM), but the adaptive functions are unclear. We tested whether female house mice (Mus musculus musculus) show MMM when they can choose their mates without male coercion. We released 32 females into sep...
Benefits of extra-pair mating may depend on environmental conditions-an experimental study in the blue tit (Cyanistes caeruleus) [0.03%]
额外配对的好处可能取决于环境条件-蓝tit(Cyanistes caeruleus)的一项实验研究

Extra-pair mating constitutes a relatively common reproductive strategy in many socially monogamous bird species. This strategy may considerably improve reproductive success of males, but female benefits from extra-pair matings still remain...
Multisensory vocal communication in primates and the evolution of rhythmic speech [0.03%]

The integration of the visual and auditory modalities during human speech perception is the default mode of speech processing. That is, visual speech perception is not a capacity that is "piggybacked" on to auditory-only speech perception. ...
"Friendships" between new mothers and adult males: adaptive benefits and determinants in wild baboons (Papio cynocephalus) [0.03%]
母狒狒与成年雄狒狒之间的“友谊”:野外狒狒的适应性效益及其决定因素(Papio cynocephalus)
Nga Nguyen,Russell C Van Horn,Susan C Alberts et al.
Nga Nguyen et al.
Close associations between adult males and lactating females and their dependent infants are not commonly described in non-monogamous mammals. However, such associations [sometimes called "friendships" (Smuts 1985)] are regularly observed i...
In-hive patterns of temporal polyethism in strains of honey bees (Apis mellifera) with distinct genetic backgrounds [0.03%]

Honey bee workers exhibit an age-based division of labor (temporal polyethism, DOL). Younger bees transition through sets of tasks within the nest; older bees forage outside. Components of temporal polyethism remain unrevealed. Here, we inv...

The study of multimodal communication has become an active and vibrant field. This special issue of Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology brings together new developments in this rapidly expanding area. In this final contribution to the speci...
