Male mate choice occurs in a wide range of species, and males can increase their reproductive success by distinguishing between females based on their fecundity (e.g., large body size) or their expected sperm competition risk (e.g., virgins...

Theoretical models of animal contests such as the Hawk-Dove game predict that variation in fighting behavior will persist due to mixed evolutionarily stable strategies (ESS) under certain conditions. However, the genetic basis for this vari...
Affiliation history and age similarity predict alliance formation in adult male bottlenose dolphins [0.03%]
亲缘历史和年龄相似性预测成人雄性瓶鼻海豚联盟的形成
Livia Gerber,Richard C Connor,Stephanie L King et al.
Livia Gerber et al.
Male alliances are an intriguing phenomenon in the context of reproduction since, in most taxa, males compete over an indivisible resource, female fertilization. Adult male bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops aduncus) in Shark Bay, Western Austra...

Latent personality traits underpinning observed behavioral variation have been studied in a great many species. However, a lack of standardized behavioral assays, coupled to a common reliance on inferring personality from a single, observed...
Hierarchically embedded interaction networks represent a missing link in the study of behavioral and community ecology [0.03%]
层级嵌套的相互作用网络在行为和社区生态学研究中缺失的环节

P O Montiglio et al.
Because genes and phenotypes are embedded within individuals, and individuals within populations, interactions within one level of biological organization are inherently linked to interactors at others. Here, we expand the network paradigm ...
The costs and benefits of decentralization and centralization of ant colonies [0.03%]

A challenge faced by individuals and groups of many species is determining how resources and activities should be spatially distributed: centralized or decentralized. This distribution problem is hard to understand due to the many costs and...

Populations of independently oscillating agents can sometimes synchronize. In the context of animal societies, conspicuous synchronization of activity is known in some social insects. However, the causes of variation in synchrony within and...

We examined how individual investment was associated with the duration of marriage partnerships in a pastoralist society of Amdo Tibetans in China. We collected demographic and socioeconomic data from 420 women and 369 men over five village...
Causes and consequences of intraspecific variation in animal responses to anthropogenic noise [0.03%]
动物对人为噪声反应的种内变异及其原因和后果

Anthropogenic noise is a recognized global pollutant, affecting a wide range of nonhuman animals. However, most research considers only whether noise pollution has an impact, ignoring that individuals within a species or population exhibit ...

In animals with uniparental care, the quality of care provided by one sex can deeply impact the reproductive success of both sexes. Studying variation in parental care quality within a species and which factors may affect it can, therefore,...
