We witnessed with a look increasingly worrying, the results of socio-environment crisis, whose triggering occur according to the model of interaction established among the man and the nature. We realized the relevance of ...

Water turbidity deteriorates visibility and thereby may change the physiology and behavior of aquatic animals that rely on vision. In the guppy fish (Poecilia reticulata), a key element in the mating behavior and reproductive ...

The cleaning of display courts is used by several forest lekking birds to possibly serve as an anti-predation strategy against terrestrial predators. Using a pit viper replica in the leaf litter 10-20 cm from the court ...

Coloration of the egg sacs of spiders varies widely to the human eye, both across and within taxonomic groups. These differences in coloration are expected with differences in the biology and ecology of different species. ...

Public officers suspected of corruption are often seen consuming conspicuously luxury goods. Since this raises public awareness about them, it can backfire and lead to an investigation that eventually finds them guilty ...

Warning signals modify predators foraging behavior by promoting the association between conspicuous signals (often coloration) and prey's unpalatability. This ecological strategy, aposematism, is better studied as a ...

We developed an innovative method for finding individuals of a conspicuous species in complex urban habitats. The aim of this study was to detect as many burrowing owl nests as possible in order to develop an ecological ...
