Semantics of an Avian Alarm Call System: the Male Domestic Fowl, Gallus DomesticusAbstract Vocal alarm signals of male domestic fowl given in the presence of predators and other ground and aerial objects were recorded and analyzed. Studies were conducted under semi-naturalistic conditions and a telemetric technique was used to facilitate high quality sound recording. Cockerels gave ground alarm calls specifically to objects moving on th...

When sounds collide: the effect of anthropogenic noise on a breeding assemblage of frogs in Belize, Central AmericaAbstract Many organisms depend on acoustic communication for myriad functions, and have evolved behaviours to minimize effects of naturally occurring acoustic interference. However, as habitats are subject to increased alteration, anthropogenic noise becomes unavoidable, and how animals overcome such interference is not well understood. In most ecosystems,...

Eavesdropping is the behaviour of a receiver extracting information from an interacti... ...

The Behavioral Mechanisms Underlying Shell Selection By Hermit Crabs1)Abstract Rearing experiments (REESE, 1962) showed that the behavior of hermit crabs toward the shells which they inhabit is fully and completely expressed the first time it is released, and therefore that the form of the behavior is not dependent upon previous experience with an adequate releasing object. The present investigation is an analysis of the sen...

The Vocal Repertoire of the Bullfrog (Rana Catesbeiana)Abstract i. The vocal repertoire of bullfrogs maintained in laboratory terrariums in a semi-natural environment consisted of a distinct set of stereotyped calls. Each call could be readily identified with specific patterns of behavioral activity, thus indicating the significance represented by each of these sounds. 2. Mating calls were made only by males. ...

MATE CHOICE COPYING IN GUPPIES: FEMALES AVOID THE PLACE WHERE THEY SAW COURTSHIPAbstract Recent evidence shows that females of many species may copy the mate choice of other females, potentially resulting in the cultural inheritance of mating preferences. The best evidence of mate choice copying has been obtained from studies on guppies, but studies on some guppy populations have failed to find evidence of copying. I report on an expe...
