Boat Noise Is Associated With Reduced Behavioral Lateralization in Juvenile Large Yellow Croaker (Larimichthys crocea)

These findings suggest that anthropogenic noise may influence not only physiological condition, but also behavioral phenotypes ...

Multiple Community Informants Enhance Public Information About Predators Across a Latitudinal Gradient in Bird Communities of China

We investigated bird communities across a 1650‐km latitudinal gradient in China where there is a transition in which “community informant” species play important roles in providing public information about predation, from babblers in the south to tits in the north. We found that both babblers and tits jointly contribute vocalizations when they are both

Deterrence Through Resilience and Civil Preparedness: The Comprehensive and Militarised Models of Civil Defence

open access: yesGlobal Policy, EarlyView.
