Tunnelling behaviour of the Asian subterranean termite in heterogeneous soils: presence of cues in the foraging area
(Academic Press Ltd Elsevier B.V. Ltd, 2012-05-01)
Exploitation of the environment by building a tunnel network is one of the stages involved in the foraging behaviour of subterranean termites, and it may be influenced by several factors, such as temperature, soil, drought, ...
Effects of cadmium on the behaviour of Cnesterodon decemmaculatus
(Inderscience Publishers, 2019-12)
Recognising biomarkers for assessing early ecotoxicity effects using test species exposed to reference toxicants is important, hence the aim of this work was to study changes in some behavioural parameters of Cnesterodon ...
Changes in escape behaviour of black iguanas (Ctenosaura similis) over an anthropogenic disturbance gradient
(2021)
Studies on the impact of human activity on animal behaviour are critical for understanding the extent to which humans affect ecological dynamics. Previous studies have found that human presence alters antipredator behaviours, ...
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 ...
Mathematical analysis of an age structured problem modelling phenotypic plasticity in mosquito behaviour
(2019-08-01)
This paper presents an age structured problem modelling mosquito blood-feeding plasticity in a natural environment. We first investigate the analytical asymptotic solution through studying the spectrum of an operator A ...
Early social environment and the fighting behaviour of young Oreochromis niloticus (Pisces, Cichlidae)
(Brill Academic Publishers, 1998-10-01)
This study examines the influence of early experience with different forms of aggressive behaviour on the fighting behaviour of young fish. Fry of the cichlid fish, Oreochromis niloticus, were raised from hatching in small ...
