Love Thy Neighbour: Repatriating Precarious Blackfoot Sites

Evolution: Love thy Neighbour

Five neighbouring populations of a cichlid fish from Lake Malawi differ in male courtship colour. Females show strong mate preferences for male coloration from their own populations. This suggests that sexual selection is an important factor contributing to speciation in cichlids.

Love Thy Neighbour: Automatic Animal Behavioural Classification of Acceleration Data Using the K-Nearest Neighbour Algorithm

Researchers hoping to elucidate the behaviour of species that aren't readily observed are able to do so using biotelemetry methods. Accelerometers in particular are proving particularly effective and have been used on terrestrial, aquatic and volant species with success. In the past, behavioural modes were detected in accelerometer data through manual inspection, but with developments in techno...

Love Thy Neighbour: Group Properties of Gaping Behaviour in Mussel Aggregations

By associating closely with others to form a group, an animal can benefit from a number of advantages including reduced risk of predation, amelioration of environmental conditions, and increased reproductive success, but at the price of reduced resources. Although made up of individual members, an aggregation often displays novel effects that do not manifest at the level of the individual organ...

Love thy neighbour? Evidence from ethnic discrimination in information sharing within villages in Côte d’Ivoire

There is an increasing amount of evidence that suggests that a fundamental source of information for farmers on how to access and use new agricultural technologies comes from observing their neighbours. Economic research on adoption of innovations in a rural context has only partially addressed the issue of how the social structure of a village can a¤ect adoption and the ...nal impact on produc...
