Size of nest-cavity entrance influences male attractiveness and paternal provisioning in house wrens [0.03%]
巢穴洞口大小影响房燕雄性的吸引力和父系抚养行为

Darren S Will et al.
In altricial birds, parental provisioning is plastic and can respond to a variety of environmental stimuli. In this study, we manipulated the size of entrances into artificial nest cavities (i.e., nestboxes) in a population of house wrens (...
Fundamental problems with the cooperative breeding hypothesis. A reply to Burkart & van Schaik [0.03%]
合作育幼假说的基本问题回复Burkart及van Schaik教授
A Thornton,K McAuliffe,S R X Dall et al.

The cooperative breeding hypothesis (CBH) states that cooperative breeding, a social system in which group members help to rear offspring that are not their own, has important socio-cognitive consequences. Thornton & McAuliffe (2015; hencef...
Distributions of oxytocin and vasopressin 1a receptors in the Taiwan vole and their role in social monogamy [0.03%]
催产素和血管加压素1A受体在台湾田鼠中的分布及其在社会单配制中的作用
A R Chappell,S M Freeman,Y K Lin et al.
A R Chappell et al.
Social monogamy is a mating strategy rarely employed by mammalian species. Laboratory studies in socially monogamous prairie voles (Microtus ochrogaster) demonstrate that oxytocin and vasopressin act within the mesolimbic dopamine pathway t...
Mass-based condition measures and their relationship with fitness: in what condition is condition? [0.03%]
基于质量的状态测量及其与健康的关系：状态如何影响条件？
需要注意的是，原句“in what condition is condition?”是一个较为抽象和双关的表达，在翻译时可能难以完全保留其原有的含义和幽默感。这里的翻译尝试传达原文的核心思想，但可能没有完全捕捉到原文的所有细微之处。如果需要更准确的翻译，请提供更多的上下文信息。

Mass or body-size measures of 'condition' are of central importance to the study of ecology and evolution, and it is often assumed that differences in condition measures are positively and linearly related to fitness. Using examples drawn f...
Effects of Parental Status on Male Body Mass in the Monogamous, Biparental California Mouse [0.03%]
亲缘状态对单配制双亲抚育的加州鼠雄性的身体质量的影响
Wendy Saltzman,Breanna N Harris,Trynke R de Jong et al.
Wendy Saltzman et al.
Studies of biparental mammals demonstrate that males may undergo systematic changes in body mass as a consequence of changes in reproductive status; however, these studies typically have not teased apart effects of specific social and repro...

Resource exploitation and competition for food are important selective pressures in animal evolution. A number of recent investigations have focused on linkages between diversification, trophic morphology and diet in bats, partly because th...
Radiographic analysis of vocal tract length and its relation to overall body size in two canid species [0.03%]
两种犬科动物声道长度的放射性分析及其与总体身长的关系
K Plotsky,D Rendall,T Riede et al.
K Plotsky et al.
Body size is an important determinant of resource and mate competition in many species. Competition is often mediated by conspicuous vocal displays, which may help to intimidate rivals and attract mates by providing honest cues to signaler ...

We use the term 'aggressive mimic' for predators that communicate with their prey by making signals to indirectly manipulate prey behaviour. For understanding why the aggressive mimic's signals work, it is important to appreciate that these...
Chemical defense of an Asian snake reflects local availability of toxic prey and hatchling diet [0.03%]
亚洲蛇的化学防御反映了有毒猎物的当地可得性和幼蛇的食物种类
D A Hutchinson,A H Savitzky,G M Burghardt et al.
D A Hutchinson et al.
Species that sequester toxins from prey for their own defense against predators may exhibit population-level variation in their chemical arsenal that reflects the availability of chemically defended prey in their habitat. Rhabdophis tigrinu...
Estimating carnivoran diets using a combination of carcass observations and scats from GPS clusters [0.03%]
基于GPS聚类的粪便和食肉目动物尸体观测相结合的饮食估算方法
C J Tambling,S D Laurence,S E Bellan et al.
C J Tambling et al.
Scat analysis is one of the most frequently used methods to assess carnivoran diets and Global Positioning System (GPS) cluster methods are increasingly being used to locate feeding sites for large carnivorans. However, both methods have in...
