Housing and husbandry conditions affect stereotypic behaviour in laboratory gerbils.
An artificial burrow was developed which fits into standard laboratory cages and significantly reduces stereotypic digging in gerbils. Also, the causes of bar-chewing were assessed experimentally. Neither the lack of gnawing material, nor the spatial proximity of cage-lid bars and food in the hopper nor the routine husbandry procedure of transferring juvenile gerbils to a fresh cage, but premat...
متن کاملSpecialized Learning in Antlions (Neuroptera: Myrmeleontidae), Pit-Digging Predators, Shortens Vulnerable Larval Stage
Unique in the insect world for their extremely sedentary predatory behavior, pit-dwelling larval antlions dig pits, and then sit at the bottom and wait, sometimes for months, for prey to fall inside. This sedentary predation strategy, combined with their seemingly innate ability to detect approaching prey, make antlions unlikely candidates for learning. That is, although scientists have demonst...
متن کاملHunting behaviour in West African forest leopards
The leopard (Panthera pardus) is a major predator of mammals within the rainforest ecosystem of West Africa. Most of the available information on leopard hunting behaviour comes from studies conducted in open savannah habitats, while little is known about forest leopards. Our radio-tracking data and scat analysis show that forest leopards differ in various ways from the savannah populations. Fo...
متن کاملDivergence and ontogenetic coupling of larval behaviour and thermal reaction norms in three closely related butterflies.
Genetic trade-offs such as between generalist-specialist strategies can be masked by changes in compensatory processes involving energy allocation and acquisition which regulation depends on the state of the individual and its ecological surroundings. Failure to account for such state dependence may thus lead to misconceptions about the trade-off structure and nature of constraints governing re...
متن کاملGenetic trends in hunting behaviour in the Finnish Hound
Finnish Hound is the most popular dog breed in Finland, with 2 000 – 3 000 pups registered annually in the last years. The great majority of the Finnish Hounds are still used actively as working dogs, so the main breeding goal of the breed is to improve its behavioural abilities with respect to hunting traits. Hunting ability of individual dogs is judged in field trials, and selection of breedi...
