Behavior and survival of parasitic Shiny Cowbird (Molothrus bonariensis) fledglings [0.03%]
寄生性闪亮牛鸟(Molothrus bonariensis)雏鸟的行为和存活率
Ignacio Crudele,Bruno Riovitti,Juan C Reboreda et al.
Ignacio Crudele et al.
For songbirds, the post-fledging period is critical for development and survival, as young must learn to get food, practice flying, and identify predators to become independent from their parents and disperse or migrate. Obligate avian broo...
No evidence of quantitative honest signaling in aposematic traits of the green and black dendrobatid frog Dendrobates auratus in Costa Rica [0.03%]
哥斯达黎加箭毒蛙(Dendrobatesauratus)的警告色不存在定量化诚信信号的现象

Aposematism is an antipredator strategy in which conspicuous coloration acts as a warning of chemical defenses to potential predators. Evidence suggests that aposematism largely functions under positive frequency-dependent selection, which ...
The more eye-like, the more intimidating-visual illusion gives new evidence for the anti-predation mechanism of eyespots [0.03%]
越像眼睛就越恐吓——视觉错觉为眼斑的防狼机制提供了新证据
Xiaoyu Long,Qiuyang Chen,Yigui Zhang et al.
Xiaoyu Long et al.
Eyespots have been shown to perform an anti-predator function by intimidating predators. However, whether predators are deterred by the eyespots' mimicking eyes of higher-order predators, or by the conspicuousness of the spots, is still bei...
Utilizing thermal imaging drones to investigate sleeping site selection in an arboreal primate [0.03%]
利用热成像无人机调查一种树栖灵长类动物睡眠地点的选择
Eva Gazagne,Chiara Goldblatt,Vỹ Trần Nguyễn et al.
Eva Gazagne et al.
Sleeping site selection is essential for understanding primate behavioral ecology and survival. Identifying where species sleep helps determine priority areas and critical resources for targeted conservation efforts. However, observing slee...
Assessing the effectiveness of acoustic signals in mark-recapture studies to estimate dolphins' population size [0.03%]
评估声学信号在标志-回收研究中估算中华白海豚种群数量的有效性
Elena Papale,Maria Ceraulo,Martina Gregorietti et al.
Elena Papale et al.
Accurate estimations of animal population size are pivotal for implementing management strategies properly. Recapture technique based on sounds as a specimen identification mark has barely been used for marine mammals. However, inferring ab...
Artificial light at night alters foraging behavior of freshwater amphipods depending on the light spectrum and the presence of predation cues [0.03%]
人工夜光根据光线光谱和捕食者线索的存在情况改变淡水无角类的觅食行为

Artificial light at night (ALAN) is a common anthropogenic disturbance, which alters animal behavior. However, little is known about the impact of the spectral composition of ALAN and co-occurring predation risk on the behavior of aquatic o...
Duets convey information about pair and individual identities in a Neotropical bird [0.03%]
杜斯曲揭示新热带鸟类配对体和个体身份信息
Pedro Diniz,Edvaldo F Silva-Jr,Gianlucca S Rech et al.
Pedro Diniz et al.
Vocal individuality is essential for social discrimination but has been poorly studied in animals that produce communal signals (duets or choruses). Song overlapping and temporal coordination make the assessment of individuality in communal...
Natal and breeding dispersal patterns in a patchy population of the western yellow wagtail [0.03%]
西方林柳莺斑块种群的繁殖扩散模式及natal DISPERSAL
Dmitry Shitikov,Nikita Grachev,Viktoria Grudinskaya et al.
Dmitry Shitikov et al.
Dispersal is an important life history trait with significant consequences for spatially structured populations, as the exchange of individuals between habitat patches is crucial for maintaining metapopulation connectivity. In this study, w...
Body size and condition, not allochrony, affect temporal reproductive patterns in a prolonged breeding anuran [0.03%]
个体大小和状况而非异时性影响着一种全年都有繁殖活动的两栖动物的季节性繁殖模式
Stephan Burgstaller,Andras Horvath,Marie-Luise Aiglsperger et al.
Stephan Burgstaller et al.
Individual phenological life-history variations in the context of seasonal conditions are well documented in fishes and birds. However, amphibians, a group heavily affected by habitat loss and fragmentation, have received relatively little ...
Paternal predatory risk alters parental behavior and offspring phenotypes in biparental Brandt's voles [0.03%]
雄性捕食压力影响双亲照料行为和子代表型：以Brandt's丛鼠为模型物种的研究
Ruiyong Wu,Jing Zhu,Ping Wang et al.
Ruiyong Wu et al.
Paternal predation risk can program offspring phenotypes via maternal responses and epigenetic marks of spermatozoa. However, the processes and consequences of this experience in biparental species are unknown. Here, we examined how preconc...
