The relationship between perch type and aggressive behavior in the lizard Norops polylepis (Squamata: Dactyloidae)
(Universidad de Sao Paulo, 2015)
The intensity of aggression against intruders by owners of a territory has been related to the type of resources available to an individual within its territory. The influence of perch-site characteristics on aggressive ...
Use flexibility of perch types by the branch-camouflaged Common Potoo (Nyctibius griseus): Why this bird may occasionally dare to perch on artificial substrates
(2018-03-01)
Animal species gain protection against visually oriented predators when they choose a suitable substrate that maximizes camouflaging. The choice of appropriate substrate may be particularly important during the brooding ...

Artificial perches promote vegetation restoration
(Springer, 2016-07)
Native ecosystems are continuously being transformed mostly into agricultural lands. Simultaneously, a large proportion of fields are abandoned after some years of use. Without any intervention, altered landscapes usually ...
Artificial perches for birds in deforested areas favour a seed rain similar to woodland remnants
(Springer, 2022-11)
The lack of seeds represents one of the highest difficulties to overcome for the ecological restoration of areas that have been deforested. This study evaluates the effectiveness of artificial perches in increasing the ...
Reproductive site selection in the leaf-frog Phyllomedusa azurea Cope, 1862 (Anura: Hylidae) in altered areas of the Brazilian Cerrado
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2014-11-25)
The selection of reproductive sites by anurans may be associated with each species' behavioural restrictions, reproductive modes, morphology and physiology. We investigated the use of reproductive sites by Phyllomedusa ...

Calling sites and acoustic partitioning in species of the Hyla nana and rubicundula groups (Anura, Hylidae)
(2006-07-01)
We analysed spatial and acoustic partitioning among four species of Hyla belonging to two species-groups: nana (H. nana and H. sanborni) and rubicundula (H. elianeae and H. jimi). Field activities were conducted at three ...
