Experiments Reveal That Search Image Might Be Responsible for Seasonal Variation in Nest-Predation Rates

open access: yesDiversity
Investigations of seasonal variations in nest predation rates yield highly variable results. Some investigations argue that search image is responsible for some of the nest-predation patterns, but as far as we know, this study is the first in which ...

Shaping research in marine functional connectivity for integrated and effective marine science and management

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Effective knowledge of ecological connectivity at sea and at the land–sea interface is key to supporting global policy goals to conserve and restore ocean biodiversity and function. However, a persistent lack of commonality in terminology and understanding around the concept of connectivity in marine ecological studies hampers its integration ...

Mortality, protoplasm decay rate, and reliability of staining techniques to recognise 'living' foraminifera: a review.

open access: yes, 2000
Non-vital staining, especially with rose Bengal, has been widely used in ecological studies to differentiate between the tests of dead(unstained) foraminifera from those presumed to be living at the time of collection (stained).

Predation Under Perfect Information [PDF]

open access: yes
In an oligopoly configuration characterized by high barriers to (re-)entry, a finite horizon, perfect information about demand and costs and the presence of three identical firms, we show that two of them (the predators) can choose to charge an initial ...

The flexible, the stereotyped and the in‐between: putting together the combinatory tool use origins hypothesis

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
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
