Camera Traps Uncover the Behavioral Ecology of an Endemic, Cryptic Monkey Species in the Congo Basin. [PDF]

open access: yesAnimals (Basel), 2023
Guenons are the most diverse clade of African primates, and many species living within the core of the Congo Basin rainforest are still understudied. The recently described guenon species, Cercopithecus lomamiensis, known as lesula, is a cryptic, semi ...

Modelling Primate Behavioral Ecology

open access: yesInternational Journal of Primatology, 2002
Models play an important role in any mature science because they force us to make explicit our assumptions about how a phenomenon works and allow us to explore the way in which different variables influence a complex biological system. I review the principal kinds of models that could be used to study primate behavior and ecology: linear programming ...

Casanovas are liars: behavioral syndromes, sperm competition risk, and the evolution of deceptive male mating behavior in live-bearing fishes [v3; ref status: indexed, http://f1000r.es/1zi]

open access: yesF1000Research, 2013
Male reproductive biology can by characterized through competition over mates as well as mate choice. Multiple mating and male mate choice copying, especially in internally fertilizing species, set the stage for increased sperm competition, i.e., sperm ...

Context-dependent trait covariances : how plasticity shapes behavioral syndromes

open access: yes, 2021
The study of behavioral syndromes aims to understand among-individual correlations of behavior, yielding insights into the ecological factors and proximate constraints that shape behavior.

Sex differences in audience effects on anogenital scent marking in the red-fronted lemur

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
How the presence of conspecifics affects scent mark deposition remains an understudied aspect of olfactory communication, even though scent marking occurs in different social contexts.

Application of Felid Hair for Non-Invasive Tracking of Animal Reproductive Status and Adrenal Activity

open access: yesAnimals, 2022
Hair can be a useful matrix to examine the hormonal status of an animal, although it is difficult to correlate the results to a specific time point. The aim of this study was to evaluate seasonal changes in cortisol and testosterone levels in the hair of

The role of facial pattern variation for species recognition in red-fronted lemurs (Eulemur rufifrons)

open access: yesBMC Evolutionary Biology, 2018
Background Species recognition, i.e., the ability to distinguish conspecifics from heterospecifics, plays an essential role in reproduction. The role of facial cues for species recognition has been investigated in several non-human primate species except

The fusion of behavioral ecology and ecology [PDF]

open access: yesBehavioral Ecology, 2011
Behavioral ecology and ecology have projects in common. Community ecology can provide behavioral ecology with the tools to ask realistic questions about the current action of natural selection. Evolutionary ecology has moved beyond asking "Why does trait x contribute to reproductive success?" and on to "What are the conditions under which trait x ...
