Effect of conspecific alarm calls in the parental behaviour of nesting southern house wrens
(Springer Heidelberg, 2013-01)
Alarm calls are usually used to signal the presence of a threat to members of the same species and have been studied broadly in social foraging species. We analysed the effects of conspecific alarm calls on the parental ...
Mate guarding and territorial aggression vary with breeding synchrony in golden whistlers (Pachycephala pectoralis)
(SPRINGER, 2008-06)
Male paternity assurance behaviour during the
female fertile period has been widely documented amongst
birds. In contrast, how sex-specific behavioural strategies
vary with local breeding synchrony levels remains ...
Vigilance patterns of territorial guanacos (Lama guanicoe): The role of reproductive interests and predation risk
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2008-12)
We conducted focal observations of territorial guanacos, a highly polygynous and social mammal, to compare time budgets between sexes and test the hypothesis that the differences in reproductive interests are associated ...
Variable assessment of wing colouration in aerial contests of the red-winged damselfly Mnesarete pudica (Zygoptera, Calopterygidae)
(2015)
Wing pigmentation is a trait that predicts the outcome of male contests in some damselflies. Thus, it is reasonable to suppose that males would have the ability to assess wing pigmentation and adjust investment in a fight ...
Lek phenology of the White-bearded Manakin (Manacus manacus, Aves: Passeriformes: Pipridae) in a subtropical region
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2012-01-01)
Descriptions of lek-breeding in White-bearded Manakins (Manacus manacus) first appeared 55 years ago from studies conducted in tropical Trinidad. No published studies on lek activity, however, exist from subtropical areas ...

Photoperiodic modulation of reproductive physiology and behaviour in the cichlid fish Cichlasoma dimerus
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2010-03)
Timing of breeding to an optimal season is a requirement for a successful reproductive outcome in seasonally breeding species. Photoperiodic signals are capable of modifying the reproductive behaviour and reproductive ...
Rufous horneros perceive and alter temporal coordination of duets during territorial interactions
(2021-04-01)
Temporal coordination of duets consists of nonrandom overlap, alternation or association between rhythms of acoustic elements. Since duet coordination presumably requires high attentiveness between signallers, the coalition ...
