Consistent social structure within aggregations of the Australian lizard, Egernia stokesii across seven disconnected rocky outcrops

Reaction under the risk of predation: effects of age and sexual plasticity on defensive behavior in scorpion Tityus pusillus (Scorpiones: Buthidae)
Journal of Ethology - Tập 38 - Trang 13-19 - 2019
Differences in gender and age and the balance between aggressive behavior and the ability to escape are fundamental in predator–prey interactions, as well as for survival, foraging, and mating success. We investigated the defensive behavior of the scorpion Tityus pusillus and assessed possible differences in their behavior responses associated with sex, age, and diel period, by simulating a predat......
Agonistic behavior and feeding competition in the largest piranha species, Pygocentrus piraya, in a zoo
Journal of Ethology - Tập 41 - Trang 25-37 - 2022
In the wild, piranhas are thought to feed in groups. Previous studies on piranhas in aquariums have variously observed either social attraction or aggressive dominance. The Rio São Francisco piranha (Pygocentrus piraya) is the largest species of piranha. It is rare in aquarium collections and its social and feeding behaviors have never been studied. To better understand behavior in this species, w......
Dynamic decision-making in uncertain environments I. The principle of dynamic utility
Journal of Ethology - Tập 31 - Trang 101-105 - 2013
Understanding the dynamics or sequences of animal behavior usually involves the application of either dynamic programming or stochastic control methodologies. A difficulty of dynamic programming lies in interpreting numerical output, whereas even relatively simple models of stochastic control are notoriously difficult to solve. Here we develop the theory of dynamic decision-making under probabilis......
Affiliation in the social interactions in captivity of the torch tail rat, Trinomys yonenagae (Rodentia: Echimyidae)
Journal of Ethology - Tập 28 - Trang 105-112 - 2009
In a previous paper, we measured the affiliation between male individuals of Trinomys yonenagae and concluded that the intensity of affiliation was high and did not differ between animals from the same social group and from different social groups. In this paper, we report the results obtained with the same experimental procedure with female individuals. We also discuss sexual differences in the s......
Sex recognition in zebrafish (Danio rerio)
Journal of Ethology - Tập 29 - Trang 55-61 - 2010
We investigated sex recognition in female zebrafish (Danio rerio) to better understand the underlying sensory mechanisms and identify male secondary sexual traits. Females were simultaneously presented with two fish, a male and a female, in a flow-chamber apparatus, and females’ relative attraction towards males was observed under different conditions. With domesticated fish, females were more att......
Distance-dependent switching of anti-predator behavior of frogs from immobility to fleeing
Journal of Ethology - Tập 33 - Trang 117-124 - 2014
To avoid predation, many animals are required to appropriately switch between immobility for crypsis and fleeing for escape. We conducted two staged-encounter experiments using a frog and a snake to examine factors that affect the occurrence of immobility and fleeing, and to evaluate the efficiency of them. The first experiment demonstrated that frogs initially exhibit immobility, when snakes are ......
