Colour-variation in the Guinea-fowl [PDF]
As this bird is such a recent addition to the poultry-yard (for, although known to the Romans, it went out of domestication in the Middle Ages) and has not been selectively bred by fanciers, its spontaneous variations are particularly interesting. Here, in India, where guinea-fowls are much bred, several well-defined types of coloration constantly ...

In two‐choice laboratory bioassays, food‐deprived and CO2‐stimulated stable flies were offered paired landing platforms that were baited or not (control) with conspecific flies. The presence of conspecifics prompted the attraction and landing of foraging stable flies.

But most of all, they listen and converse. As they enter the lingual ecology of their hosts through a range of practices of communication, ethnographers begin a multi‐faceted journey

ABSTRACT Tool use research has long made the distinction between tool using that is considered learned and flexible, and that which appears to be instinctive and stereotyped. However, animals with an inherited tool use specialisation can exhibit flexibility, while tool use that is spontaneously innovated can be limited in its expression and facilitated

ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...
