Mate and territory availability affect breeding dispersal and divorce in a resident Southern House Wren Troglodytes aedon musculus population
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2017-01)
Breeding dispersal is the movement of an individual between breeding attempts and is usually associated with the disruption of the social pair bond, although mates may disperse together as a social unit. In monogamous ...
Seasonal activity and basking of the southernmost population of the freshwater turtle Phrynops hilarii (Chelidae)
(Brill Academic Publishers, 2017-03)
This study focuses on basking behaviour of Phrynops hilarii in the southernmost population of the species' range. The objective was to determine how environmental features affect the basking behaviour of the species. We ...
Foraging by the omnivorous crab Pachygrapsus transversus affects the structure of assemblages on sub-tropical rocky shores
(INTER-RESEARCH, 2010)
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 ...
Ants as selective agents on herbivore biology: Effects on the behaviour of a non-myrmecophilous butterfly

The effectiveness of Bayesian state-space models for estimating behavioural states from movement paths
(Wiley, 2013-05)
1. Bayesian state-space movement models have been proposed as a method of inferring behavioural states from movement paths (Morales et al. 2004), thereby providing insight into the behavioural processes from which patterns ...
Effects of sire breed-grazing system and environmental parameters on the behaviour of beef calves just after birth
(Elsevier B.V., 2007-11-01)
Effects of sire breed-grazing system and environmental factors on the first activities of high grade Nellore and crossbred Canchim x Nellore, Angus x Nellore, and Simmental x Nellore calves raised in intensive production ...
Parkinson’s disease affects gaze behaviour and performance of drivers
(2022-01-01)
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of PD and ageing on gaze behaviour and performance of drivers in a simulated task. Ten drivers with PD, ten neurologically healthy older drivers, and ten neurologically ...
Interindividual variations in plant and fruit traits affect the structure of a plant-frugivore network
(Elsevier B.V., 2019-02-01)
Frugivores select their food in a hierarchical way, from plants to individual fruits, to meet their nutritional requirements. According to the optimal diet theory, finding, handling, and digesting fruits is costly, thus ...
Trypanosoma cruzi could affect wild triatomine approaching behaviour to humans by altering vector nutritional status: A field test
(Elsevier, 2020)
Hematophagous insects exhibit complex behaviour when searching for blood-meals, responding to several host stimuli. The hematophagous insect Mepraia spinolai is a wild vector of Trypanosoma cruzi, causative agent of Chagas ...
