For fugitive species such as African wild dogs the potential cost of attracting dangerous competitors as eavesdroppers is especially significant. Experiments presented here demonstrate that eavesdropping lions Panthera leo were highly motivated to approach playbacks of wild dog Lycaon pictus vocalizations. ...
Africa contains one of the most species rich carnivore assemblages in the world, where the African lion (Panthera leo) is dominant wherever it is present. Using camera trap data on South African carnivores, we evaluated how overlap with lions in diel activity related to similarities to lions in...
Mandrills are the only mammals listed where both mechanisms act on the same ornamental trait (male color), but male mane color in lions (Panthera leo) provides a second example (West and Packer, 2002). It is not yet clear whether this relates to the rarity of the phenomenon or a lack ...
The position of Ceres between the constellations Leo the Lion and Leo Minor is described and the future path of Ceres' orbit is examined. A chart illustrating the position of Ceres during the month of March 2009 is also included.Astronomy...
As a key prey item for lions (Panthera leo), plains zebras (Equus burchelli) were expected to re... Fischhoff,Ilya,R.,... - 《Behavioral Ecology》 被引量: 111发表: 2007年 Do predators influence the behaviour of bats? Many aspects of animal behaviour are affected by real-time changes...
Examples of earless (true) seals:Harbor (common) seal (Phoca vitulina), grey seal (Halichoerus grypus), hooded seal (Cystophora cristata), harp seal (Phoca groenlandica), elephant seal (Mirounga leonina), and monk seal (Monachus schauinslandi). ...
We assess predation risk by monitoring the presence of three GPS〆quipped predators: African lions Panthera leo, spotted hyaenas Crocuta crocuta and African wild dogs Lycaon pictus. In enriched, fertilised plots the impalas reduced step rates (i.e. the rates of change in feeding stations), and...
Most vulnerable to HWC in NCA is the lion (Panthera leo), and their populations have declined substantially in recent decades. The long-term viability of the iconic and well-studied lion population in the Ngorongoro Crater is compromised by a growing isolation, as any dispersing lion from the ...
Few studies have examined the interplay between reproduction and body temperature variability in large, wild mammals. For example, pregnant African lions (Panthera leo) lower and stabilize their body temperature (hereafter Tb) to avoid episodes of hyperthermy10, and wolverines (Gulo gulo)11 also lo...
