a prerequisite to seismic hazard assessment is to have knowledge of historical and prehistorical earthquakes. to obtain such data, researchers have already practiced different methods including historical seismology, paleoseismology, and recently archaeoseismology. archaeoseismology is a multidisciplinary approach which ideally tries to find the age, epicenter, and magnitude of past earthquakes...

This article proposes a new subdiscipline, Tectonic Archaeology, based on the efforts of Japanese archaeologists to deal with effects earthquakes, volcanic tephra cover, and tsunami archaeological sites. Archaeology is conceived as an umbrella term for those foundation Geoarchaeology in general. Comparisons distinguish between survey major journals textbooks reveals how concept ‘tectonics’ spec...

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of ovariohysterectomy on vocalization during territorial aggression of German Shepherd dogs. Sixteen clinically healthy dogs of 5 to 10 months old were assigned randomly to one of two groups: ovariohysterectomy or control. Their behaviors and vocalizations induced by the approach of a strange with a strange dog were recorded using digital cam...

Behavioral interference between species, such as territorial aggression, courtship, and mating, is widespread in animals. While aggressive and reproductive forms of interspecific interference have generally been studied separately, their many parallels and connections warrant a unified conceptual approach. Substantial evidence exists that aggressive and reproductive interference have pervasive ...

When male investment in mating varies with quality, reliable sexual signals may evolve. In many songbirds, testosterone mediates mating investment, suggesting that signals should be linked to testosterone production. However, because testosterone may change rapidly during behaviour such as territorial aggression and courtship, efforts to establish such a relationship have proved challenging. In...

Earthquakes have and continue to, occur worldwide, though some places are affected more than others by earthquake-induced ground shaking the same earthquake can cause damage in one area nearby locations due to site-specific geological site conditions, also known as local effects. Depending on chronology of earthquakes, various disciplines seismology include instrumental historical seismology, a...

We have been made aware that the estimate of individual repeatability that we used in our study (i.e. the intraclass correlation coefficient) overestimates repeatability, and that calculating repeatability using the analysis of variance-based method, as described by Lessells & Boag [1]), is a more appropriate estimate. Consequently, we have recalculated repeatability using this more appropriate...
