Feeding experience and relative size modify the begging strategies of nestlings

language learning strategies and vocabulary size of iranian efl learners

learning a second or foreign language requires the manipulation of four main skills, namely, listening, reading, speaking, and writing which lead to effective communication. it is obvious that vocabulary is an indispensible part of any communication, so without a vocabulary, no meaningful communication can take place and meaningful communication relies heavily on vocabulary. one fundamental fac...

Role of begging and sibling competition in foraging strategies of nestlings

We assume that parents use the signalling intensity of their young to determine how much food they bring to the nest, and that the pattern of food allocation is determined by the signalling intensity and by the intensity of other nonsignalling behaviours that are not perceived by the parents. We explore different ways in which signalling, nonsignalling behaviours and competitive asymmetries mig...

Have brood parasitic cowbird nestlings caused the evolution of more intense begging by host nestlings?

Please cite this article in press as: Rivers, J.W host nestlings?, Animal Behaviour (2010), d Obligate avian brood parasites rely entirely on host species to raise their offspring, a unique behaviour that has made them an ideal group for a wide variety of ecological and evolutionary topics (Rothstein 1990; Davies 2000). Because brood parasites are raised by heterospecific parents and often shar...
