Feeding regime and food availability determine behavioural decisions under predation risk in Pleurodema thaul (Anura: Leiuperidae) tadpoles
(British Herpetological Society, 2016-01)
Movement makes prey more vulnerable to predators. Antipredator responses usually have associated costs such as reduced feeding activity, and decisions made under predation risk may be affected by the feeding state of the ...
Vigilance behaviour of the year-round territorial vicuña (Vicugna vicugna) outside the breeding season: Influence of group size, social factors and distance to a water source
(Elsevier Science, 2015-04)
We conducted focal observations of vicuña, a year-around territorial mammal, to compare vigilance behaviour between territorial and bachelor males outside the reproductive season. We hypothesized that the time spent vigilant ...
Straw collecting behaviour by pacas (Agouti paca) in captivity
(Elsevier B.V., 2006-05-01)
Agouti paca is both considered as a species vulnerable to extinction and recognised with the potential for domestication. In spite of this, its behaviour is poorly documented and captive breeding is mainly based on trial ...
Attraction of the cutaneous leishmaniasis vector Nyssomyia neivai (Diptera: Psychodidae) to host odour components in a wind tunnel
(Biomed Central Ltd., 2012-09-25)
Background: Laboratory studies of host-seeking olfactory behaviour in sandflies have largely been restricted to the American visceral leishmaniasis vector Lutzomyia longipalpis. In comparison, almost nothing is known about ...

Bombesin affects the central nervous system to produce sodium intake inhibition in rats
(Elsevier B.V., 1997-12-31)
Bombesin (BN) elicits in the rat important behavioural modifications, including inhibition of food and of water intake. Recently, it has been observed that the peptide also inhibits the intake of sodium chloride. To stare ...
