Can a person be a prey? People are prey for internal and external parasites, including ticks, lice, and tapeworms. Humans are also prey for mosquitos, and occasionally, vampire bats. None of those predator-prey interactions require killing the person. However, large predators like crocodiles, ...
Urban areas form a complex, heterogeneous, fragmented mosaic of habitats, including ecosystems in different degrees of alteration. Nevertheless, some species of birds of prey can thrive in cities. But, there is a knowledge gap regarding the species of birds of prey that who inhabit the cities in...
predator avoidance and dispersal but also on the alteration of animal personality traits. To date, the structural characteristics of personality under captivity that are fitness-relevant in the wild, including between-trait correlations and within-trait plasticity-personality correlations have received litt...
human-readable, hybrid (i.e., supporting multiple formalisms), open, declarative, and by supporting the graphical representation of models. Modelers should not only use such a language, but be aware of the features that make it desirable and know how to apply them effectively. For this reason...

The Madagascan chameleon has a lifespan of only three months. The pygmy chameleon is as big/small as a caterpillar. The Swift’s dwarf chameleon changes its color according to the predator’s vision capacities. The Tarzan chameleon got its name from a village named Tarzanville. It is already...
Over the past decade, abnormalities have been documented in white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) in west-central Montana. Hypotheses proposed to explain these anomalies included contact with endocrine disrupting pesticides, such as imidacloprid. We
摘要: Disruptive coloration is a camouflage strategy proposed to function by breaking up an animal's boundary and mask its characteristic shape, thereby impairing its recognition by onlo... 查看全部>>关键词: antipredator background matching crypsis disruptive coloration edge detection object recognition...
The result of stabilizing is the over-representation in a specific trait. For example, the coats of a species of mice in a forest will all be the best color to act as camouflage in their environment. Other examples include human birth weight, the number of eggs a bird lays, and the den...
