However, little attention has been paid to possible carryover effects of social conditions on personality expression, especially when individuals are alone.

متن کاملWhite Sharks Exploit the Sun during Predatory Approaches.
There is no conclusive evidence of any nonhuman animal using the sun as part of its predation strategy. Here, we show that the world's largest predatory fish-the white shark (Carcharodon carcharias)-exploits the sun when approaching baits by positioning the sun directly behind them. On sunny days, sharks reversed their direction of approach along an east-west axis from morning to afternoon but ...
متن کاملBody-size trends of the extinct giant shark Carcharocles megalodon: a deep-time perspective on marine apex predators
The extinct shark Carcharocles megalodon is one of the largest marine apex predators ever to exist. Nonetheless, little is known about its body-size variations through time and space. Here, we studied the body-size trends of C. megalodon through its temporal and geographic range to better understand its ecology and evolution. Given that this species was the last of the megatooth lineage, a grou...
