Dispersing brush mice prefer habitat like home.
During natal dispersal, young animals leave their natal area and search for a new area to live. In species in which individuals inhabit different types of habitat, experience with a natal habitat may increase the probability that a disperser will select the same type of habitat post-dispersal (natal habitat preference induction or NHPI). Despite considerable interest in the ecological and the e...
متن کاملBig islands in dispersing billiard-like potentials
We derive a rigorous estimate of the size of islands (in both phase space and parameter space) appearing in smooth Hamiltonian approximations of scattering billiards. The derivation includes the construction of a local return map near singular periodic orbits for an arbitrary scattering billiard and for the general smooth billiard potentials. Thus, universality classes for the local behavior ar...
متن کاملWhy do women prefer home births in Ethiopia?
BACKGROUND Skilled attendants during labor, delivery, and in the early postpartum period, can prevent up to 75% or more of maternal death. However, in many developing countries, very few mothers make at least one antenatal visit and even less receive delivery care from skilled professionals. The present study reports findings from a region where key challenges related to transportation and avai...
متن کاملSignalling through pigment dispersing hormone-like peptides in invertebrates.
During recent decades, several research teams engaged in unraveling the molecular structure and the physiological significance of pigment dispersing hormone-like peptides, particularly with respect to colour change and biological rhythms. In this review, we first summarise the entire history of pigment dispersing hormone-like peptide research, thus providing a stepping stone for those who are c...
متن کاملCan settlement in natal-like habitat explain maladaptive habitat selection?
The study of habitat selection has long been influenced by the ideal free model, which maintains that young adults settle in habitat according to its inherent quality and the density of conspecifics within it. The model has gained support in recent years from the finding that conspecifics produce cues inadvertently that help prebreeders locate good habitat. Yet abundant evidence shows that anim...
