Hermit crabs
Researchers had been divided over whether the sound was vocal or not, but the latest study, published online in the Royal Society Proceedings B shows unequivocally that the tail feathers were the source of the sound. When the researchers cut back the tail feathers — which grow back in five weeks and do not affect the birds ability to fly — the males were unable to make the noise. Tests in wind ...
متن کاملOn hermit crabs and humans.
Flynn, Laland, Kendal and Kendal’s article (this issue) plays a valuable role in two ways. First, it demonstrates how developmental psychology can learn lessons from the latest research on developmental niche construction within evolutionary biology. Secondly, for those psychologists whose main focus is the cognitive mechanisms by which humans develop their particular suite of abilities, it is ...
متن کاملShell Exchange in Hawaiian Hermit Crabs
Shell exchange behavior of intertidal Hawaiian hermit crabs was observed in the laboratory. Outcomes of 255 shell-related interactions were analyzed to test the predictive powers of two models of resource exchange . In the case of intraspecific interactions, the negotiations model (which predicts that exchanges should occur only when both crabs will gain in shell value) was superior to an aggre...
متن کاملWeak rappers rock more: hermit crabs assess their own agonistic behaviour.
Fighting animals use a variety of information sources to make strategic decisions. A neglected potential source of information is an individual's own performance during a fight. Surprisingly, this possibility has yet to be incorporated into the large body of theory concerning the evolution of aggressive behaviour. Here, by experimentally dampening the impact of their shell rapping behaviour, we...
متن کاملAnthropogenic noise compromises antipredator behaviour in European eels.
Increases in noise-generating human activities since the Industrial Revolution have changed the acoustic landscape of many terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Anthropogenic noise is now recognized as a major pollutant of international concern, and recent studies have demonstrated impacts on, for instance, hearing thresholds, communication, movement and foraging in a range of species. However, c...
