Investigating the Effects of Male Size and Pronotal Glowspots on Female Courtship Behaviour of the Glowspot Cockroach (Lucihormetica verrucosa)
Lucihormetica verrucosa (Blattodea, Blaberidae) are highly sexually dimorphic cockroaches, with the males having two symmetrically organised ‘glowspots’ on their pronotum. The spots can range in colour from whiti...

Stable isotopes and foraging behaviors support the role of antipredator benefits in driving the association between two marine fishes
Research from terrestrial communities shows that diminished predation risk is a principal driver of heterospecific grou** behavior, with foraging ecology predicting the roles that species play in groups, as ...

On the relevance of animal behavior to the management and conservation of fishes and fisheries
There are many syntheses on the role of animal behavior in understanding and mitigating conservation threats for wildlife. That body of work has inspired the development of a new discipline called conservation...

Individual and collective behaviour of fish subject to differing risk-level treatments with a sympatric predator
The ability to adapt behaviour according to context is vital to the success of many organisms, particularly when it comes to mitigating risk, across time and space, in unpredictable environments. While many st...

If and when: intrinsic differences and environmental stressors influence migration in brown trout (Salmo trutta)
Partial migration is a common phenomenon, yet the causes of individual differences in migratory propensity are not well understood. We examined factors that potentially influence timing of migration and migrat...

Individual-level behavioral responses of immature green turtles to snorkeler disturbance
Despite many positive benefits of ecotourism, increased human encounters with wildlife may have detrimental effects on wild animals. As charismatic megafauna, nesting and foraging sea turtles are increasingly ...

Dynamic social networks in guppies (Poecilia reticulata)
One of the main challenges in the study of social networks in vertebrates is to close the gap between group patterns and dynamics. Usually scan samples or transect data are recorded to provide information abou...

Social network analysis resolves temporal dynamics of male dominance relationships
Social organization is often studied through point estimates of individual association or interaction patterns, which does not account for temporal changes in the course of familiarization processes and the es...

Network position: a key component in the characterization of social personality types
In recent years, animal social interactions have received much attention in terms of personality research (e.g. aggressive or cooperative interactions). However, other components of social behaviour such as th...

Foraging behaviour and brain morphology in recently emerged brook charr, Salvelinus fontinalis
Recently emerged brook charr (Salvelinus fontinalis) foraging in still-water pools along the sides of streams are either active, feeding on insects from the upper portion of the water column away from the stream ...

Behavioral correlations across activity, mating, exploration, aggression, and antipredator contexts in the European house cricket, Acheta domesticus
Recently, there has been increasing interest in behavioral syndrome research across a range of taxa. Behavioral syndromes are suites of correlated behaviors that are expressed either within a given behavioral ...
