Behavioural lateralization in Budgerigars varies with the task and the individual. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Handedness/footedness and side biases are a well-known phenomenon in many animals, including humans. However, these so-called biases have mostly been studied at the population level--individual biases have received less attention, especially with regard ...

Cohorts of immature Pteropus bats show interannual variation in Hendra virus serology

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Pteropus bat with offspring, photo taken by Manuel Ruiz‐Aravena. Abstract Understanding the drivers of seasonal disease outbreaks remains a fundamental challenge in disease ecology. Periodic outbreaks can be driven by several seasonally varying factors, including pulses of susceptible individuals through births, changes in host behaviour and social ...

POTENTIAL IMPACTS OF THE ASIAN CLIMBING PERCH ON QUEENSLAND [PDF]

Risk of establishment of the freshwater climbing perch (Anabas testudineus) in mainland Queensland from the Torres Strait is high. The species is dispersed through human assistance and/or attributes that assist its own spread.

Effects of Vector Density on Blood Parasite Spread and Health Consequences for Avian Hosts: An Experimental Epidemiology Blueprint

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
In an experimental epidemiology setup, groups of pigeons were exposed to different numbers of infective malaria vectors. Vector number explained the speed of transmission, the final prevalence, and changes in host behavior. ABSTRACT Vector density plays a critical role in the transmission dynamics of vector‐borne diseases and thus in their health and ...

A Dynamics and Stability Framework for Avian Jumping Take-off

, 2018
Jumping take-off in birds is an explosive behaviour with the goal of providing a rapid transition from ground to airborne locomotion. An effective jump is predicated on the need to maintain dynamic stability through the acceleration phase.

Debris at the edge: sedimentological dynamics of Hintereisferner's evolving terminus and glacial forefield, Austrian Alps

Boreas, EarlyView.
The interaction between glaciers and the debris accumulating on their surfaces is critical as the Earth warms, with consequences for ice dynamics, hydrology and mass balance together with slope and sedimentary processes. Understanding this interaction is necessary since it influences ablation rates, sediment and meltwater pathways.

Home ranges, feeding sites, and daily movement behavior of the highly threatened Livingstone's fruit bat revealed through GPS tracking

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Livingstone's fruit bat GPS tracks during day‐ and nighttime on Anjouan, Comoros, identifying likely feeding sites. Abstract The highly threatened Livingstone's fruit bat, Pteropus livingstonii, is endemic to only two islands of the Union of the Comoros, a country with some of the highest deforestation rates worldwide.

Stress and Energy Mobilization Responses of Climbing Perch Anabas testudineus During Terrestrial Locomotion

Stresses
The climbing perch, Anabas testudineus, is one of the most widely distributed freshwater amphibious fishes in South and Southeast Asia, exhibiting terrestrial movements. Our experimental study aimed to investigate endocrinological and biochemical changes
