Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 2, Issue 6, Page 552-561, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Seahorses (Genus Hippocampus; Family Syngnathidae) are iconic fish characterised by tails with prehensile capabilities, which develop after the transition from planktonic to benthonic lifestyle. As a result, seahorses remain attached to vegetal structures or other elements most of the time, both in the wild and under rearing conditions. In the

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2015 Nonlethal deterrents against carnivores are important components to protecting livestock and conserving carnivore populations. However, the performance of the visual deterrent called fladry, a historical tool used to defend livestock from carnivores, is ...

Energy cost and return for hunting in African wild dogs and cheetahs
Nature Communications, 2016 The long-distance hunting behaviour of African wild dogs is thought to be energetically costly. Here, Hubel et al. show that multiple opportunistic short-distance hunts and group feeding make African wild dogs in mixed woodland savannah energetically ...

Collective Adaptation in Multi-Agent Systems: How Predator Confusion Shapes Swarm-Like Behaviors [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Popular hypotheses about the origins of collective adaptation are related to two basic behaviours: protection from predators and a combined search for food resources. Among the anti-predator explanations, the predator confusion hypothesis suggests that groups of individuals moving in a swarm aim to overwhelm the predator while the dilution of risk ...

A dominant predator, a predator, and a prey
Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering, 2008 A two-predator, one-prey model in which one predator interferes significantly with the other predator is analyzed. The dominant predator is harvested and the other predator has an alternative food source. The response functions used are Holling type II and they are predator-dependent and include the effects of interference.

American Journal of Primatology, Volume 85, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023 Sanctuary chimpanzees show consistency of their personality‐based behaviors across real‐life contexts and over time while displaying interindividual differences in the consistency of their personality‐based behavioral profile Abstract Personality is both a reflection of the bio‐behavioral profile of individuals and a summary of how they typically ...

Behavioural compatibility, not fear, best predicts the looking patterns of chacma baboons
Communications BiologyAnimal vigilance is often investigated under a narrow set of scenarios, but this approach may overestimate its contribution to animal lives. A solution may be to sample all looking behaviours and investigate numerous competing hypotheses in a single ...

Sonochemical Functionalization of Glass
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A new method for functionalizing glass using ultrasonication of aryl diazonium salts. Aryl radicals generated by ultrasounds react with glass, forming a stable, covalently bonded organic film. The functionalized glass adheres microorganisms such as microalgae, fungi, and bacteria, suggesting potential applications in enzyme production, filtration ...

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, Volume 5, Issue 6, Page 491-501, December 2022., 2022 Flight and freezing are two vital defensive behaviors in the process of avoiding natural enemies in mice. We investigated the neural activity in dPAG nuclei of mice under two defensive behaviors, and found different coding features between flight and freezing behaviors. Abstract Background Flight and freezing are two vital defensive behaviors that mice

Additive opportunistic capture explains group hunting benefits in African wild dogs
Nature Communications, 2016 African wild dogs hunt collaboratively over long distances in grassland plains. Hubel et al. use high-resolution GPS to show that in their remaining habitat of mixed woodland savannah, African wild dogs use multiple opportunistic short-distance hunts ...
