Don't You Know That I'm Toxic? Wild Birds Learn to Avoid a Novel Aposematic Warning Signal. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThe foraging behaviours of predators towards aposematic prey have been studied extensively and there is much empirical evidence to support this theory. Often, studies involving wild species are relatively short‐term and so there is a possibility that any aversive behaviours exhibited by predators are merely neophobic. In this study, we ensure predators

Animal medical systems from Apis to apes: history, recent advances and future perspectives. [PDF]
Biol Rev Camb Philos SocABSTRACTAnimal medical systems encompass a wide range of behaviours aimed at maintaining or improving health. It has become clear that these behaviours are not limited to animals treating themselves (self‐medication) but also include the treatment of group members, resulting in the adoption of the more inclusive term “animal medication”. Behaviour with

Kin discrimination in cannibalistic tadpoles of the Green Poison Frog, Dendrobates auratus (Anura, Dendrobatidae) [PDF]
Phyllomedusa: Journal of Herpetology, 2009 Cannibalizing a related individual can reduce the inclusive fitness of the cannibal. Hence, mechanisms that allow a tadpole to recognize and modify its behavior toward kin may reduce the inclusive fitness costs of cannibalism.
