Behavioural complementarity among frugivorous birds and lizards can promote plant diversity in island ecosystems
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2020-01)
The behavioural complementarity of fruit-eating animals is thought to exert a key role in plant community assembly. However, a mechanistic understanding of the causal links between the two processes is still lacking. This ...
A geographic comparison of the resting site fidelity behaviour in an intertidal limpet: Correlation with biological and physical factors
(Elsevier Science, 2014-02)
Many organisms vary their behaviour in response to environmental change. In stressful habitats motile organisms often exhibit behavioural patterns that are consistent with stress-minimizing strategies. In the present study ...
Developmental environment influences activity levels in a montane rodent, Phyllotis xanthopygus
(Elsevier, 2020-10)
Ambient temperature and thermal variability play a crucial role in diverse aspects of organisms’ biology. In the current context of climate change, it is critical to understand how temperature impacts traits that could ...

Burrowing owls eavesdrop on southern lapwing's alarm calls to enhance their antipredatory behaviour
(Elsevier Science, 2018-12)
Eavesdropping is a widespread behaviour among animals, providing the receiver with valuable information to assess the habitat, resources or threats. This kind of behaviour has been reported for the burrowing owl (Athene ...
Motivated lateralized behaviour in the rat: Role of the ventral hippocampus
(American Scientific Publishers, 2013)
Prenatal stress increases adult vulnerability to cocaine reward without affecting pubertal anxiety or novelty response
(Elsevier Science, 2018-02)
Prenatal stress (PS) induces long-lasting molecular alterations in brain circuits of the offspring and increases the propensity to develop neuropsychiatric diseases during adulthood, including mood disorders and drug ...
N-dimensional animal energetic niches clarify behavioural options in a variable marine environment
(Company of Biologists, 2011-02)
Animals respond to environmental variation by exhibiting a number of different behaviours and/or rates of activity, which result in corresponding variation in energy expenditure. Successful animals generally maximize ...
Behavioral responses of two small-sized rodents, Phyllotis vaccarum and Abrothrix andina, to energy challenges of high-altitude habitats in the Andes Mountains
(Wiley, 2022-12)
In mountain environments, both temperature and food availability vary strongly with altitude, leading to a major challenge to the thermo-energetic balance of organisms. In this sense, the behavioral repertoire is crucial ...
