The pollen hoarding syndrome consists of a large suite of correlated traits in honey bees that may have played an important role in colony organization and consequently the social evolution of honey bees. The syndrome was first discovered i...

Animal aggregations are widespread in nature and can exhibit complex emergent properties not found at an individual level. We investigate one such example here, collective vortex formation by congeneric spadefoot toad tadpoles: Spea bombifr...
Does mating experience of male house crickets affect their behavior to subsequent females and female choice? [0.03%]

Male mating experience was shown to play an important role in settling conflicts between males; however, little is known about whether and how prior access to females influences male behavior during intersexual interactions and female choic...
Don't get the blues: conspicuous nuptial colouration of male moor frogs (Rana arvalis) supports visual mate recognition during scramble competition in large breeding aggregations [0.03%]
不要难过：沼蛙(Rana arvalis)显眼的婚配颜色支持在大规模繁殖聚集地中通过视觉识别配偶的争夺竞争理论

Conspicuous male colouration is expected to have evolved primarily through selection by female choice. In what way conspicuous colours could be advantageous to males scrambling for mates remains largely unknown. The moor frog (Rana arvalis)...
Insects perceive local sex ratio in the absence of tactile or visual sex-specific cues [0.03%]
无触觉或视觉性别特异性线索的条件下昆虫能感知本地性别比例

Numerous studies have demonstrated adaptive behavioral responses of males and females to changes in operational sex ratio (the ratio of potentially receptive males to receptive females; OSR), and theory often assumes that animals have perfe...

Despite the importance of dispersal for individuals and populations, little is known about the actual dispersal process in most species. We observed 90 subadult gray mouse lemurs-small, arboreal, nocturnal primates-in Kirindy Forest in west...
Evolution of self-organized division of labor in a response threshold model [0.03%]

Division of labor in social insects is determinant to their ecological success. Recent models emphasize that division of labor is an emergent property of the interactions among nestmates obeying to simple behavioral rules. However, the role...
Look before you leap - individual variation in social vigilance shapes socio-spatial group properties in an agent-based model [0.03%]

Next to predator detection, primate vigilance also serves to keep track of relevant conspecifics. The degree of vigilance towards group members often reflects the dominance rank of an individual: subordinates pay attention to dominants. Alt...
Declining extra-pair paternity with laying order associated with initial incubation behavior, but independent of final clutch size in the blue tit [0.03%]
蓝 tits 中额外配对父系的下降与产卵顺序有关，但与最终巢穴大小无关，并且与最初的孵化行为相关

Although functional explanations for female engagement in extra-pair copulation have been studied extensively in birds, little is known about how extra-pair paternity is linked to other fundamental aspects of avian reproduction. However, re...
Mating skew in Barbary macaque males: the role of female mating synchrony, female behavior, and male-male coalitions [0.03%]

A fundamental question of sexual selection theory concerns the causes and consequences of reproductive skew among males. The priority of access (PoA) model (Altmann, Ann NY Acad Sci 102:338-435, 1962) has been the most influential framework...
