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, ...
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...
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 birth weight, especially in underdeveloped countries and in the past of the developed world, is a polygenetic selection which is controlled by environmental factors. Infants with low birth weight will be weak and experience health problems, while large babies will have problems passing through...
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...

Tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) and hexabromocyclododecanes (HBCDs) were analyzed in 12 tissues of prey (mud carp) and predator (northern snakehead) fish from an e-waste area, South China. The TBBPA concentrations in different tissues ranged from 0.03 to 2.85 ng/g wet weight (ww) in mud carp...
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
