Rodents in open space adjust their behavioral response to the different risk levels during barn-owl attack
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 3 - Trang 1-16 - 2003
Previous studies have revealed that the response of prey species to predatory risk comprised either freezing (when the prey remained immobile), or fleeing (when it ran frantically in order to remove itself from the vicinity of the predator). Other studies, however, have suggested that the prey will adjust its behavior to risk level. The present study was designed to follow the attacks of a barn ow......
Analysis of a marine phototrophic biofilm by confocal laser scanning microscopy using the new image quantification software PHLIP
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 6 - Trang 1-15 - 2006
Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) is the method of choice to study interfacial biofilms and acquires time-resolved three-dimensional data of the biofilm structure. CLSM can be used in a multi-channel modus where the different channels map individual biofilm components. This communication presents a novel image quantification tool, PHLIP, for the quantitative analysis of large amounts of mu......
The dynamics of social networks among female Asian elephants
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 11 - Trang 1-16 - 2011
Patterns in the association of individuals can shed light on the underlying conditions and processes that shape societies. Here we characterize patterns of association in a population of wild Asian Elephants at Uda Walawe National Park in Sri Lanka. We observed 286 individually-identified adult female elephants over 20 months and examined their social dynamics at three levels of organization: pair......
Queen dominance and worker policing control reproduction in a threatened ant
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 11 - Trang 1-7 - 2011
Efficient division of reproductive labor is a crucial characteristic of social insects and underlies their ecological and evolutionary success. Despite of the harmonious appearance of insect societies, nestmates may have different interests concerning the partitioning of reproduction among group members. This may lead to conflict about reproductive rights. As yet, few studies have investigated the......
An acoustic postconflict display in the duetting tropical boubou (Laniarius aethiopicus): a signal of victory?
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 4 - Trang 1-6 - 2004
In many species of birds, pair bonded males and females precisely co-ordinate their vocalisations to form duets. Duetting behaviour, although still somewhat of an enigma, is thought to function primarily in territorial defence and mate guarding. We identify an additional function of duetting in an afrotropical bird, the tropical boubou (Laniarius aethiopicus), that uses one duet type as a postconf......
Temporal development and collapse of an Arctic plant-pollinator networkAbstract
Background
The temporal dynamics and formation of plant-pollinator networks are difficult to study as it requires detailed observations of how the networks change over time. Understanding the temporal dynamics might provide insight into sustainability and robustness of the networks and h... ...

An open future for ecological and evolutionary data?
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 14 - Trang 1-6 - 2014
As part of BioMed Central’s open science mission, we are pleased to announce that two of our journals have integrated with the open data repository Dryad. Authors submitting their research to either BMC Ecology or BMC Evolutionary Biology will now have the opportunity to deposit their data directly into the Dryad archive and will receive a permanent, citable link to their dataset. Although this do......
Burrow characteristics of the co-existing sibling species Mus booduga and Mus terricolor and the genetic basis of adaptation to hypoxic/hypercapnic stress
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 9 - Trang 1-7 - 2009
The co-existing, sibling species Mus booduga and Mus terricolor show a difference in site-preference for burrows. The former build them in flat portion of the fields while the latter make burrows in earthen mounds raised for holding water in cultivated fields. In northern India which experiences great variation in climatic condition between summer and winter, M. booduga burrows have an average dep......
Capturing chloroplast variation for molecular ecology studies: a simple next generation sequencing approach applied to a rainforest tree
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 13 - Trang 1-11 - 2013
With high quantity and quality data production and low cost, next generation sequencing has the potential to provide new opportunities for plant phylogeographic studies on single and multiple species. Here we present an approach for in silicio chloroplast DNA assembly and single nucleotide polymorphism detection from short-read shotgun sequencing. The approach is simple and effective and can be im......
Ecological niche partitioning between Anopheles gambiae molecular forms in Cameroon: the ecological side of speciation
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 9 - Trang 1-24 - 2009
Speciation among members of the Anopheles gambiae complex is thought to be promoted by disruptive selection and ecological divergence acting on sets of adaptation genes protected from recombination by polymorphic paracentric chromosomal inversions. However, shared chromosomal polymorphisms between the M and S molecular forms of An. gambiae and insufficient information about their relationship with......
