1. Unexplained patterns of grey wolf Canis lupus natal dispersal

progeny,   etc   ; Canis lupus; reproduction; wolves;     Show all 4 Subjects
Abstract:
... Natal dispersal (movement from the site of birth to the site of reproduction) is a pervasive but highly varied characteristic of life forms. Thus, understanding it in any species informs many aspects of biology, but studying it in most species is difficult. In the grey wolf Canis lupus, natal dispersal has been well studied. Maturing members of both sexes generally leave their natal packs, pair wi ...

Abstract:
... The T(EB4)ᴺᵗa, T(IBj5)ᴺᵗa, and T(B362i)ᴺᵗA strains were constructed by introgressing the insertional translocations EB4, IBj5, and B362i from Neurospora crassa into the related species N. tetrasperma. The progeny from crosses of T(IBj5)ᴺᵗa and T(B362i)ᴺᵗA with opposite mating-type derivatives of the standard N. tetrasperma strain 85 exhibited a unique and unprecedented transmission ratio distortio ...

Abstract:
... Vocal learning in songbirds is guided by experience and experience-independent factors. Previously, lineages of zebra finches founded by isolate-reared tutors showed cultural evolution to wild-type song. This suggests that experience-independent biases affect song development even in the absence of wild-type song. We hypothesized that cultural evolution of song depends on both experience-independe ...

Abstract:
... Our ability to predict how species will respond to human-induced rapid environmental change (HIREC) may depend upon our understanding of transgenerational plasticity (TGP), which occurs when environments experienced by previous generations influence phenotypes of subsequent generations. TGP evolved to help organisms cope with environmental stressors when parental environments are highly predictive ...

Additionally, it was to investigate whether the use of the area available per plant is a suitable strategy to mitigate the effect of missing plants. Lastly, it was to evaluate whether missing or dominated plants in t ...

Abstract:
... Proper neural function depends on the correct specification of individual neural fates, controlled by combinations of neuronal transcription factors. Different neural types are sequentially generated by neural progenitors in a defined order, and this temporal patterning process can be controlled by Temporal Transcription Factors (TTFs) that form temporal cascades in neural progenitors. The Drosoph ...

Abstract:
... Altricial birds show enormous intraspecific diversity in their provisioning strategies, in terms of both the provisioning rate and the amount of food delivered per feeding bout. Extra‐pair copulations (EPCs), which result in either extra‐pair paternity (EPP) or maternity (EPM), provide an opportunity to demonstrate why provisioning strategies vary among individuals. Because EPP‐cuckolded males and ...

Abstract:
... In the nineteenth century, farmers, doctors, and the wider public shared a family of questions and anxieties concerning heredity. Questions over whether injuries, mutilations, and bad habits could be transmitted to offspring had existed for centuries, but found renewed urgency in the popular and practical scientific press from the 1820s onwards. Sometimes referred to as “Lamarckism” or “the inheri ...

Abstract:
... In biparental species, each parent represents a semi-independent source of variable caregiving. The nature of care may differ between parents, and the type of care offspring seek is likely to change across development. We asked if caregiving differed between prairie vole (Microtus ochrogaster) mothers and fathers, and which parent pups prefer over development. We categorized parents as high- or lo ...

Social competence is the ability of animals to optimize their social behaviours according to the demands of their social environment. It is a behavioural per ...

Abstract:
... Clonal growth of plants is attained by a number of morphologically different organs (e.g. stolons, rhizomes, and roots), which are not functionally equivalent. Consequently, these clonal growth organ (CGO) types can determine functional traits that are associated with clonality, although little is known about their evolutionary flexibility or the constraining role they play on clonal traits.

The effects of perinatal SSRI exposure, and especially the effects on social behavior, are still incompletely documented. This study first aims to investigate whether rats show prosocial behavior in the form of consolation behavior. Secondly, it aims to in ...

Abstract:
... Plants are subjected to diverse biotic and abiotic stresses in life. These can induce changes in transcriptomics and metabolomics, resulting in changes to root and leaf exudates and, in turn, altering the plant-associated microbial community. Emerging evidence demonstrates that changes, especially the increased abundance of commensal microbes following stresses, can be beneficial for plant surviva ...

Nest sharing in rodents and other vertebrates is believed to be promoted by the gain of thermoregulatory advantages, reproductive imperatives or to be a by-product of other benefits to group living. Here, we studied the patterns of nest box sharing over a yearly cycle in a wild population of the arboreal, nocturnal and heterothermic woodland dormouse (Graphiurus murinus). We evaluated whether the ...

Avian nest structure and composition has been linked to insulative properties and the reduction of energetic requirements for incubating females. However, it is unclear how and why nest structure varies ...

... In many animal species, mothers eat some of their own eggs. While this filial egg cannibalism can have profound impacts on both parental and offspring fitness, it remains unclear whether this behaviour is a simple by-product of a generally low maternal investment in egg care and whether it is determined before or after egg production. Here, we addressed these questions in the European earwig, Forf ...
