Temperament, plasticity, and emotions in defensive behaviour of paca (Mammalia, hystricognatha)
(2021-02-01)
Within a species, some individuals are better able to cope with threatening environments than others. Paca (Cuniculus paca) appear resilient to over-hunting by humans, which may be related to the behavioural plasticity ...
Effectiveness of fluoxetine to control fur-chewing behaviour in the chinchilla (Chinchilla lanigera)
(Elsevier Science, 2013-06)
Due to its complexity and the relative lack of scientific reports, fur-chewing may be considered as one of the most challenging behavioural problems common to captive chinchillas. The development of this behaviour in ...
Short administration of ZnTe to male and female rats previous to mating and fertilization affects behavioural responses of litters during the prepuberal period
(American Scientific Publishers, 2014-10)
Trace elements are an omnipresent group of chemical elements that are present practically in all types of environments sustaining life. Previous evidence from our laboratory has shown that chronic administration of ZnTe ...
The Behavioural Responses Displayed by Litter Rats After Chronic Administration of Non-Toxic Concentrations of ZnTe to Parent Rats are Mediated Primarily by Te
(American Scientific Publishers, 2014-10)
Trace elements are an omnipresent group of chemical elements that are found practically in all types of environments sustaining life. Since its principal characteristic is the very low concentration in ground and water, ...
Promoting positive states: The effect of early human handling on play and exploratory behaviour in pigs
(2016-07-28)
It is known that tactile stimulation (TS) during ontogeny modifies brain plasticity and enhances the motor and cognitive skills. Our hypothesis was that early handling including TS would increase play and exploratory ...
The Influence of Sales Tax Transparency and Political Trust on Brazilian Consumer Behaviour
(Univ Brasilia, Bus Adm Dept, 2020-01-01)
Objective: this study aimed to observe whether consumer behaviour is affected by sales tax transparency and political trust, considering the Theory of Planned Behavior model as the conceptual framework. Method: the research ...
Foraging by the omnivorous crab Pachygrapsus transversus affects the structure of assemblages on sub-tropical rocky shores
(Inter-research, 2010-01-01)
The roles of herbivory and predation in determining the structure and diversity of communities have been tested across most intertidal systems. In contrast, the importance of omnivorous consumers remains untested in many ...
Initial feeding behaviour, eye structure and effect of colours on prey capture rates of Betta splendens larvae
(2015-01-01)
Basic studies on early morphology and behaviour are necessary to support applied research on larval rearing. Thus, the aim of this study was to analyze the initial feeding behaviour, eye structure and the influence of ...
Postoperative pain behaviours in rabbits following orthopaedic surgery and effect of observer presence
(2020-10-01)
Rabbits are widely used in studies focusing on pain. However, pain is undertreated in this species and one possible factor to explain this is the lack of evaluation methods. The objective of this study was to identify ...
