Length-weight relationships for some important forage crustaceans from South Africa [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
The diet of marine animals is usually determined by stomach content analysis. Although partially digested prey fragments can often be identified to species level, it is difficult to estimate the original mass of the prey organism.

Visual Cues Can Alter the Behavioural Responses of Dragonfly Larvae to Chemical Alarm Cues

open access: yesEthology, Volume 132, Issue 5, Page 349-358, May 2026.
Using a controlled experimental approach, we examined how chemical and visual cues influence antipredator behaviour in Aeshna cyanea larvae and tested whether risk‐related information can be socially transmitted among nearby conspecifics. Our results show that dragonfly larvae do not copy the antipredator responses of others, but visual cues alter how ...

Catching crabs: a case study in local-scale English conservation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Wells-next-the-Sea and Cromer in Norfolk (England) both rely upon their local crab populations, since crabbing (gillying) is a major part of their tourist industry.

Female Affiliation and Status in Semi‐Free‐Ranging Chimpanzees

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 189, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives Sex differences in social behavior and status are pervasive across primates and other mammals. In the wild, chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) exhibit many sex‐typed behaviors: adult female chimpanzees exhibit lower aggression, are subordinate to adult males, and also are generally less social than males.

The impact of urbanisation on social behaviour: a comprehensive review

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 1003-1035, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Urbanisation is a key driver of global environmental change and presents animals with novel stressors and challenges. It can fundamentally influence social behaviour and has the potential to reshape within‐ and between‐species social interactions. Given the role of social behaviour in reproductive fitness and survival, understanding how social

Interactive Effects of Two Global Contaminants on Behavioral Variation in Brine Shrimp

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Wildlife is often exposed to multiple pollutants with unknown joint effects. We tested how two aquatic pollutants at realistic levels alter activity in Artemia. Phenanthrene reduced average activity but not when mixed with 2,4‐dichlorophenol. Both pollutants and their mix reduced behavioral plasticity but not individuality, highlighting the importance ...
