Intraspecific variation in body size of bumblebee workers influences anti-predator behaviour
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2020-03-01)
Flower-dwelling predators make flowers dangerous foraging sites for pollinators, potentially affecting their anti-predator behaviour. Moreover, predation vulnerability often varies among pollinators' body sizes with ...
Cortisol as a reliable indicator of stress in alpacas and llamasCortisol como Indicador Fiable del Estrés en Alpacas y Llamas
(Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, Facultad de Medicina Veterinaria, 2015)
Activity budgets for the sedentary Argentine sea bass Acanthistius patachonicus inferred from accelerometer data loggers
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2018-12)
The amount of energy an animal uses to move may constitute a significant fraction of its energy budget, so detailed descriptions of wild animal activity budgets can help to understand the ecology of a species, both at the ...
Estimating dyad association probability under imperfect and heterogeneous detection
(Elsevier Science, 2011-08)
In animal behaviour studies, association indices estimate the proportion of time two individuals (i.e. a dyad) spend in association. In terms of dyads, all association indices can be interpreted as estimators of the ...
Effect of immunocastration on behaviour and blood parameters (cortisol and testosterone) of Holstein bullsEffect of immunocastration on behaviour and blood parameters (cortisol and testosterone) of Holstein bulls

Are semi-terrestrial crabs threatened by human noise? Assessment of behavioural and biochemical responses of Neohelice granulata (Brachyura, Varunidae) in tank
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2018-12)
This study examined the effects of human lab-generated noise (sweep tone) on the behaviour and biochemistry of a semi-terrestrial crab (Neohelice granulata). The experiment was carried out in tanks equipped with video- and ...
Selection for contrasting adrenocortical responsiveness in Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica) influences sexual behaviour in males
(Elsevier Science, 2003-09-26)
Selection of Japanese quail for a reduced (low stress, LS) rather than exaggerated (high stress, HS) adrenocortical response to brief restraint is associated with a non-specific reduction in stress responsiveness, decreased ...
Effect of slaughter handling conditions and animal temperament on bovine meat quality markers = Efecto del manejo y del temperamento animal sobre indicadores de calidad de la carne bovina
(2013-09)
The aim of this research was to study the effect of different handling conditions on physiological stress indicators and meat quality of beef cattle by studying animals with different temperaments. Forty animals classified ...
Different responses of free-ranging wild guanacos (Lama guanicoe) to shearing operations: Implications for better management practices in wildlife exploitation
(Universities Federation of Animal Welfare, 2017-02)
In certain areas of South America, free-ranging, wild guanacos (Lama guanicoe) are exploited for fibre by local people. This activity includes the capture and handling of animals which can adversely affect their behaviour ...
Functional lateralization of the baso-lateral amygdala neural circuits modulating the motivated exploratory behaviour in rats: Role of histamine
(Elsevier Science, 2011-03)
Functional laterality appears to be present in many brain functions in man and animals. The existence of paired neural circuits which act differentially to modulate a specific behavioural function seems to be an evolutionary ...
