Análise e simulação baseada em agentes de rotas aéreas
(Universidade Federal de Minas GeraisUFMG, 2017-03-17)
Airlines and Governments have worked to optimize the use of their resources and operate efficiently, given the growing flight demand, increasing oil price, operational costs, and limited infrastructures. Some works have ...
Wing size but not wing shape is related to migratory behavior in a soaring bird
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2017-05)
Both wing size and wing shape affect the flight abilities of birds. Intra and inter-specific studies have revealed a pattern where high aspect ratio and low wing loading favour migratory behaviour. This, however, have not ...
Dispersal traits drive the phylogenetic distance decay of similarity in Neotropical stream metacommunities
(2015-11-01)
Aim: The drivers of phylogenetic beta diversity include both local processes (e.g. environmental filtering) and regional processes (e.g. dispersal limitation). The role of environmental filtering can be investigated more ...
Dispersal behaviour of yellowjacket (Vespula germanica) queens
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2018-03-02)
Understanding the factors that affect animal dispersal behavior is important from both fundamental and applied perspectives. Dispersal can have clear evolutionary and ecological consequences, but for nonnative insect pests, ...
The defensive behavioral patterns of captive white-lipped and collared peccary (Mammalia, Tayassuidae): an approach for conservation of the species
(Springer, 2017-06-01)
Defensive behavioral patterns in response to human-induced rapid environmental change can affect animals' fitness and may play a role in species conservation status. To test this hypothesis, we compared the risk assessment ...
THERMAL BIOLOGY AND FLIGHT DISTANCE OF TROPIDURUS-OREADICUS (SAURIA, IGUANIDAE) IN AN AREA OF AMAZONIAN BRAZIL
(Univ Firenze Ethology Ecology & EvolutionFlorenceItália, 1990)
Flight initiation distance is differentially sensitive to the costs of staying and leaving food patches in a small mammal prey.
(2009)
Escape theory predicts that a prey should flee from an approaching predator at a point in which the cost of staying equals the cost of escape. We manipulated the cost of fleeing upon approaching human predators by providing ...
Differential risk perception of rural and urban Burrowing Owls exposed to humans and dogs
(Elsevier Science, 2016-03)
Urban areas expose wildlife to an array of novel predators, amongst which, humans and dogs are highly frequent. Thus, wild animals living in urban areas are forced to invest more time and energy in defence behaviours, which ...
