Animal ecology

  1. Dingo-exposed wombats showed stronger scent investigation
    Study examines whether wombats isolated from dingoes for 80 years have lost predator recognition, finding they retain discrimination but show reduced environmental vigilance.
  2. Temperature linked to activity shifts in black-and-white snub-nosed monkeys
    Age-sex variation in activity budgets and dietary responses to temperature in black-and-white snub-nosed monkeys, with distinct physiological demands across classes.
  3. Sika deer use different antipredator behaviors in different situations
    Study reveals how sika deer use whistling, stotting, and rump flaring as context-dependent antipredator behaviors that vary with social conditions, signaler characteristics, and season.
