The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 87, Issue 2, February 2023., 2023 We evaluated how wetland occupancy by duck broods varied across crop‐dominated landscapes of the Prairie Pothole Region (PPR) in the United States to inform conservation strategies in the face of widespread land use alterations and climate change. We found about 4 in 10 small wetlands in crop‐dominated landscapes within the PPR were used by duck broods

Predatory behavior of the land flatworm Notogynaphallia abundans (Platyhelminthes: Tricladida)
Zoologia (Curitiba), 2009 Land flatworms are carnivorous, mainly predators. However, knowledge on their predatory behavior and prey preference is very scarce. This paucity of data is a limiting factor in the study of their biology and organismal ecology, resulting in a very ...

The Informative Herd: why humans and other animals imitate more when conditions are adverse [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 Decisions in a group often result in imitation and aggregation, which are enhanced in panic, dangerous, stressful or negative situations. Current explanations of this enhancement are restricted to particular contexts, such as anti-predatory behavior, deflection of responsibility in humans, or cases in which the negative situation is associated with an ...

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.

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 ...

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 67, Issue 12, Page 2706-2717, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Lobate ctenophores are often numerically dominant members of oceanic epipelagic and midwater ecosystems. Despite this, little is known about their trophic ecology. Multiple, co‐occurring species are often found in these ecosystems and appear to feed similarly via feeding currents that entrain prey.

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.Abstract The impact of the COVID‐19 pandemic and associated lockdown measures on child and family functioning requires ongoing investigation to understand its far‐reaching effects. This study investigated the experiences of 10‐year‐old children (n = 2421) from the Growing Up in New Zealand longitudinal cohort during some of the strictest pandemic ...

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 67, Issue 12, Page 2718-2733, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Continental freshwater systems are particularly vulnerable to environmental variation. Climate change‐induced desertification and the anthropogenic exploitation of hydric resources result in the progressive evaporation and salinization of inland water bodies in many areas of the globe.

Behavioral and Endocrine Change Following Chronic Predatory Stress
Physiology & Behavior, 1998 Adult male rats showed very high levels of crouching when exposed to a cat, with suppression of the nondefensive behaviors (e.g., lying, locomotion, rearing) that were shown by toy cat-exposed controls. The crouching of cat-exposed rats declined slightly but reliably with increasing time within daily 60-min exposure sessions.
