Agonistic behaviour of juvenile gulls, a neuroethological study

Agonistic behaviour of juvenile gulls, a neuroethological study.

The results relating to agonistic behaviour obtained during an exploration of the brain of juvenile herring and lesser black-backed gulls (Larus argentatus andfuscus) with electrical stimulation are reported. As an introduction the normal agonistic behaviour of immature gulls is described. While the flight and aggressive behaviour is largely unritualized the threat behaviour is more stereotyped...

The auditory behaviour of primates: a neuroethological perspective.

The ethological approach has already provided rich insights into the auditory neurobiology of a number of different taxa (e.g. birds, frogs and insects). Understanding the ethology of primates is likely to yield similar insights into the specializations of this taxa's auditory system for processing species-specific vocalisations. Here, we review the recent advances made in our understanding of ...

University of Groningen Experience modulates both aromatase activity and the sensitivity of agonistic behaviour to testosterone in black-headed gulls

Experience modulates both aromatase activity and the sensitivity of agonistic behaviour to testosterone in black-headed gulls.

In young black-headed gulls (Larus ridibundus), exposure to testosterone increases the sensitivity of agonistic behaviour to a subsequent exposure to this hormone. The aim of this paper is twofold: to analyze whether social experience, gained during testosterone exposure, mediates this increase in hormonal sensitivity (priming), and whether this in turn is mediated by an increase in central aro...
