Experimental evidence that sentinel behaviour is affected by risk.
Sentinels are a conspicuous feature of some cooperative societies and are often assumed to provide benefits in terms of increased predator detection. Similar to other cooperative behaviours, variation in investment in sentinel behaviour should reflect variation in the benefits of such behaviour. However, evidence for this is inconclusive: to date experiments have manipulated the cost of sentine...
متن کاملEvidence that the spectral dependence of light absorption by aerosols is affected by organic carbon
[1] The wavelength dependence of light absorption by aerosols collected on filters is investigated throughout the near-ultraviolet to near-infrared spectral region. Measurements were made using an optical transmission method. Aerosols produced by biomass combustion, including wood and savanna burning, and by motor vehicles, including diesel trucks, are included in the analysis. These aerosol ty...
متن کاملExperimental evidence that adult antipredator behaviour is heritable and not influenced by behavioural copying in a wild bird.
Knowledge of the relative importance of genetics and behavioural copying is crucial to appraise the evolvability of behavioural consistencies. Yet, genetic and non-genetic factors are often deeply intertwined, and experiments are required to address this issue. We investigated the sources of variation of adult antipredator behaviour in the Alpine swift (Apus melba) by making use of long-term be...
متن کاملExperimental evidence that preexisting chronic kidney disease is a risk factor for acute kidney injury
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is defined by a rapid decline in glomerular filtration rate. AKI is a worldwide health problem; it has a high mortality rate and can progress toward chronic kidney disease (CKD). Rates of mortality, morbidity, and hospitalization following AKI, which is induced by various medical complications, are higher in patients with CKD [1,2]. CKD is reported in approximately 30%...
متن کاملTomato Reproductive Success Is Equally Affected by Herbivores That Induce or That Suppress Defenses
Herbivory induces plant defenses. These responses are often costly, yet enable plants under attack to reach a higher fitness than they would have reached without these defenses. Spider mites (Tetranychus ssp.) are polyphagous plant-pests. While most strains of the species Tetranychus urticae induce defenses at the expense of their performance, the species Tetranychus evansi suppresses plant def...
