Simulation and perturbation analysis of escape oscillator
The dynamical behaviour of the forced escape oscillator, which depends on the parameter values we considered, have been studied numerically using the techniques of phase portraits and Poincar'{e} sections. Also, we employed perturbation methods such as Lindstedt's method to obtain the frequency-amplitude relation of escape oscillator.
متن کاملDeterminants of lizard escape performance : decision , motivation , ability , and opportunity
All animal behavior involves movement, and most behavior involves locomotion, i.e., the act of self-propulsion. Arguably, “Locomotion, movement through the environment, is the behavior that most dictates the morphology and physiology of animals” (Dickinson et al. 2000). In other words, natural and sexual selection often act on locomotor performance abilities because they are crucial to success ...
متن کاملFear no colors? Observer clothing color influences lizard escape behavior
Animals often view humans as predators, leading to alterations in their behavior. Even nuanced aspects of human activity like clothing color affect animal behavior, but we lack an understanding of when and where such effects will occur. The species confidence hypothesis posits that birds are attracted to colors found on their bodies and repelled by non-body colors. Here, we extend this hypothes...
متن کاملRecent interactions with snakes enhance escape performance of desert kangaroo rats (Rodentia: Heteromyidae) during simulated attacks
When predators rely on high-speed movements to capture prey, prey often exhibit traits that result in correspondingly extreme physical performance. Biomechanical studies of these interactions are typically conducted in laboratory settings, thereby eliminating some of the ecological context. We studied how behavioural state, specifically vigilance level, of kangaroo rats affects evasion performa...
متن کاملAn escape from crowding.
Crowding occurs when nearby flankers jumble the appearance of a target object, making it hard to identify. Crowding is feature integration over an inappropriately large region. What determines the size of that region? According to bottom-up proposals, the size is that of an anatomically determined isolation field. According to top-down proposals, the size is that of the spotlight of attention. ...
