The Market Effect: an Explanation for Pay‐off Asymmetries among Collaborating Animals

Acquired Recognition of Predator Odour in the European Minnow (Phoxinus phoxinus)Abstract Naive European minnows (Phoxinus phoxinus ) do not show a fright reaction when they first encounter the odour of a natural predator (the pike: Esox lucius ) or the odour of a non‐piscivorous exotic (tilapia: Tilapia mariae ). A conditioned fright response to both these odours will... ...

Evolution of Classical Polyandry: Three Steps to Female Emancipation(Invited Article) Abstract In classical polyandry, sex roles are reversed and a female reproduces with several males, each of whom raises his offspring with little or no help from her. This mating system occurs in some fishes and birds, and it is of great interest in relation to parental investment, sex role and sexual selection theory. The evo...

Sex Differences in Giraffe Feeding Ecology: Energetic and Social ConstraintsAbstract Sex ratios of giraffe groups differ in different habitats, with open vegetation having female‐biased groups, and tall, thick vegetation having male‐biased groups. On a ranch in south‐central Kenya, we quantified habitat differences of male and female giraffe groups and showed that the preference for open habitats by female groups was limited to groups with ... ...

Orange Spots as a Visual Cue for Female Mate Choice in the Guppy (Poecilia reticulata)Abstract Previous studies have suggested that orange pigment in the color patterns of male guppies is a cue for female choice. This paper describes a manipulative experiment designed to test this hypothesis. The color patterns perceived by females were manipulated by varying the color of light used to illuminate the experimental aquaria. Orange light dramatically re... ...

Influenza Infection Neutralizes the Attractiveness of Male Odour to Female Mice (Mus musculus)Abstract This study aimed to determine if female house mice, Mus musculus domesticus , are able to assess a male's infection status from odour cues. We collected urine from male mice before, during, and after they were experimentally infected with influenza, a respiratory virus. Females spent more time investigating urine collected from mal... ...

Decision Making and Assessment in the Fighting Behaviour of Nannacara anomala (Cichlidae, Pisces)Abstract Predictions from ESS‐theory concerning assessment of fighting ability and decision making are tested using a cichlid fish Nannacara anomala . Pairs with a pronounced difference in weight were allowed to interact. Fight duration increased when the difference in weight between the contestants decreased and the probability of an escal... ...

Undirected Song in Wild Zebra Finch Flocks: Contexts and Effects of Mate RemovalAbstract Wild zebra finches, Taeniopygia guttata , sing frequently throughout the year but the function of undirected song, the most prevalent type, is unknown. Paired males commonly sang undirected song in feeding flocks where it occurred more frequently in the non‐breeding season than in the breeding season. Song rate varied greatly among... ...

The Payoffs to Producing and Scrounging: What Happens when Patches are Divisible?Abstract Although many group‐foraging models assume that all individuals search for and share their food equally, most documented instances of group foraging exhibit specialized use of producer and scrounger strategies. In addition, many of the studies have focused on groups with strong individual asymmetries exploiting food that is not easily divisible. In the pres... ...

Socio‐Spatial Relationships in Dairy CowsAbstract Farm animals may serve as models for evaluating social networks in a controlled environment. We used an automated system to track, at fine temporal and spatial resolution (once per minute, ±50 cm) every individual in six herds of dairy cows (Bos taurus ). We then analysed the data using social network analyses. Relationships were b... ...
