Functions of Intermittent Locomotion in Mustached Tamarins (Saguinus mystax) [PDF]
, 2010 Many animals interrupt their moving with brief pauses, which appear to serve several different functions. We examined the function of such intermittent locomotion in wild living mustached tamarins (Saguinus mystax), small arboreal New World primates that

DESIGNING GROUP PLANTINGS OF TREES AND SHRUBS
Архитектон, 2022 The article describes the methodological foundations of designing group plantings of trees and shrubs. The basic principles of tree and shrub species selection for arranging open, dense, clean and mixed groups are considered.

Categorization of species as native or nonnative using DNA sequence signatures without a complete reference library. [PDF]
, 2019 New genetic diagnostic approaches have greatly aided efforts to document global biodiversity and improve biosecurity. This is especially true for organismal groups in which species diversity has been underestimated historically due to difficulties ...

Seasonal drivers of mixed-species flocks from tropical savannas: insights from the Pantanal wetland
Journal of Field Ornithology, 2023 Birds participate in different types of multi-species groups (e.g., mixed-species flocks) occurring from temperate to tropical forest and also savannas.

Vigilance of mustached tamarins in single-species and mixed-species groups—the influence of group composition [PDF]
Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, 2009 Species that participate in mixed-species groups (MSG) may have complementary roles in antipredator strategies. We studied vigilance in mustached tamarins (Saguinus mystax), small arboreal primates that form stable mixed-species groups with saddleback tamarins (Saguinus fuscicollis), in order to examine how the direction of vigilance changes with ...

Mixed‐species groups of Serengeti grazers: a test of the stress gradient hypothesis [PDF]
Ecology, 2020 AbstractUnderstanding the role of species interactions within communities is a central focus of ecology. A key challenge is to understand variation in species interactions along environmental gradients. The stress gradient hypothesis posits that positive interactions increase and competitive interactions decrease with increasing consumer pressure or ...

Birds, 2021 Animals invest in costly vigilance to detect threats. Joining groups reduces these costs, which can be further reduced in mixed-species assemblages. In colour-polymorphic species, morphs often experience different predation pressure and vary in a variety
