Although mammal vocalisations signal attributes about the caller that are important in a range of contexts, relatively few studies have investigated the transmission of specific types of information encoded in mammal calls. In this study we broadcast and re-recorded giant panda bleats in a bamboo pl...
Habitat selection in Spizella passerina and S. pusilla was studied in the laboratory and in the field at monthly intervals from December through June. The two species showed a significant difference in their responses to photographic transparencies of two habitats in the laboratory, S. passerina ...
Habitat selection is a basic aspect of the ecology of many species, yet often the term is conflated or confused with both habitat preference and habitat use. We argue that each term fits within a conceptual framework that can be viewed in Bayesian terms and demonstrate, using long-term data ...

2.6. cDNA Synthesis We performed a standard cDNA synthesis on 2 ug of RNA template from each penguin. Reaction conditions included four units reverse transcriptase (Omniscript®; Qiagen, Valencia, CA, USA), 1 uM random hexamers, 0.5 mM each dNTP, and 10 units RNase inhibitor, in reverse tr...
The specimens were chosen to obtain molecular data from a wide range of species across every major habitat, providing a complete geographical coverage throughout all possible distributions of Pagurus species (Figure 1). Species were assigned a location code defined by their sampling regions as Arctic...

Specifically I asked: 1) how nocturnal seabird colony area and population size change with time and across a metapopulation; and 2) how prospectors choose suitable breeding habitat by looking at habitat selection and use of public information. Using an information theoretic approach I found 1) ...
