The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Dental microwear texture analysis of Smilodon samples from Florida's Pleistocene reveals moderate carcass utilization (like modern African lions) across space and time, with more subtle dietary shifts in response to fluctuating climates. Abstract Smilodon, the iconic saber‐toothed cat, was a Pleistocene apex predator comprised of three morphologically ...

Evolution Letters, 2019 Effective anti‐predatory strategies typically require matching appearance and behavior in prey, and there are many compelling examples of behavioral repertoires that enhance the effectiveness of morphological defenses. When protective adult morphology is

Sharpening our understanding of saber‐tooth biomechanics
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Saber‐teeth are a striking example of convergent evolution in vertebrate predators, having evolved multiple times in mammals and their early ancestors. While there is broad consensus that saber‐toothed taxa employed a distinct biting strategy compared to conical‐toothed carnivores, like the lion, the precise mechanics and variability of this ...

Competitio, 2009 Predatory pricing is one of the most debated issue among the many possibly abusive behaviors of a dominant firm. The general prohibition of the abuse of a dominant power in the competition law is meant to render more difficult to use that power but not ...

Effects of Neonatal Handling on Play Behavior and Fear Towards a Predator Odor in Juvenile Rats
, 2008 The effects of brief daily separation, also known as handling, during the first 2 weeks of life on play behavior and fearfulness toward a predatory odor were assessed in juvenile rats.

Autism Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Syntactic processing in both language and music involves combining elements—such as words or chords—into coherent structures. The Shared Syntactic Integration Resource Hypothesis (SSIRH) was introduced based on observations of similar neural responses to syntactic violations across both domains.

Turbidity influences individual and group level responses to predation in guppies, Poecilia reticulata [PDF]
, 2015 © 2015 The Association for the Study of Animal Behaviour. Increasing turbidity (either sedimentary or organic) from anthropogenic sources has significant negative impacts on aquatic fauna, both directly and indirectly by disrupting behaviour.

Multisensory Integration of Naturalistic Speech and Gestures in Autistic Adults
Autism Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Seeing the speaker often facilitates auditory speech comprehension through audio‐visual integration. This audio‐visual facilitation is stronger under challenging listening conditions, such as in real‐life social environments. Autism has been associated with atypicalities in integrating audio‐visual information, potentially underlying social ...

Sociobiology, 2017 Ants are among the insects involved in cadaveric decomposition processes, as they exhibit predatory and necrophagous behavior. Red ants exhibit an aggressive behavior, which impacts carcass colonization, accelerates or delays the decomposition rates and ...
