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

Scientific 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

Animals, 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)

BMC 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

Systematic reviews and maps as tools for applying behavioral ecology to management and policy

Behavioral Ecology, 2018
&NA; Although examples of successful applications of behavioral ecology research to policy and management exist, knowledge generated from such research is in many cases under‐utilized by managers and policy makers.

Honeybees (Apis mellifera) exhibit flexible visual search strategies for vertical targets presented at various heights [v2; ref status: indexed, http://f1000r.es/51p]

F1000Research, 2015
When honeybees are presented with a colour discrimination task, they tend to choose swiftly and accurately when objects are presented in the ventral part of their frontal visual field.

Competition over guarding in the Arabian babbler (Turdoides squamiceps), a cooperative breeder [version 1; referees: 1 approved, 2 approved with reservations]

F1000Research, 2015
Observations on 12 groups comprised of two adult males and one adult female (some included one or two fledglings), tame, individually marked, Arabian babblers (Turdoides squamiceps) in the rift valley in Israel revealed that the babblers compete to guard.

Unlearned adaptive responses to heterospecific referential alarm calls in two bird species from separate evolutionary lineages

Scientific Reports, 2023
The interspecific responses to alarm signals may be based on unlearned mechanisms but research is often constrained by the difficulties in differentiating between unlearned and learned responses in natural situations.
