Ultrasound waves have been employed to control marine biofouling but their effects on fouling organisms remain poorly understood. This study investigated the influence of ultrasound barnacle (Tetraclita stalactifera cyprid larvae) pre-settlement behavior. Substrate inspection constituted most larval time budget, with a focus bottom surface rather than lateral or air–water interfaces. The frequency substrate decreased at 10 kPa when compared higher acoustic pressures, while spent in water...
Geometric shape analyses were used to study body and size variation among populations of the livebearing fish Poecilia vivipara inhabiting recently formed coastal lagoons Grussaí Iquipari in Northern Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil. The largest components morphological females between different habitats same lagoon, whereas for males there larger differences than habitats. mostly localized head region midbody, which indicated patterns locomotion foraging behaviour optimized habitat experienced...
Ants, an ecologically successful and numerically dominant group of animals, play key ecological roles as soil engineers, predators, nutrient recyclers, regulators plant growth reproduction in most terrestrial ecosystems. Further, ants are widely used bioindicators the impact land use. We gathered information ant species Atlantic Forest South America. The ATLANTIC ANTS data set, which is part SERIES papers, a compilation records from collections (18,713 records), unpublished (29,651 published...
In this study, we used recurrence quantification analysis (RQA) and plots (RPs) to compare the movement activity of individual workers three ant species, as well a gregarious beetle species. RQA RPs quantify number duration recurrences dynamical system, including detailed signals that could be stochastic, deterministic, or both. First, found substantial differences between dynamics beetles ants, with results suggesting have quasi-periodic ants do not. Second, from different species varied...
Social insects present behavioral, morphologic and social variation, which bring ideal situations to study emergent temporal-spatial patterns. In this study, we observe the self-organization in movement activity of different species densities. our preliminary results, all observed a pattern more complex higher densities with structural differences between them.
Adaptive movement in response to individual interactions represents a fundamental evolutionary solution found by both unicellular organisms and metazoans avoid predators, search for resources or conspecifics mating, engage other collaborative endeavors. Displacement processes are known affect interspecific relationships, especially when linked foraging strategies. Various displacement phenomena occur marine plankton, ranging from the large-scale diel vertical migration of zooplankton...
Cannibalism is a behavioral characteristic found in wide variety of animal groups. Although the rates cannibalism can vary from one group to another, studies indicate that main factors contributing an increase frequency such behavior are availability food, population density, and victims, environmental stress. We carried out different laboratory experiments assess whether as presence or absence food among siblings non-siblings, at densities conspecific heterospecific individuals, affect...
A sociobiologia foi considerada uma disciplina polêmica durante seus primeiros anos, mas tal como a própria teoria da seleção natural, tornou-se parte fundamental do estudo comportamento social. Desde primórdios, com os insetos sociais,a abordagem sociobiológica sempre trouxe novos argumentos e gerou teorias que resultaram em diversos estudos clássicos animal, até nova importante área de estudo. Apesar todo o progresso já alcançado desde Darwin, das bases biológicas social ainda possui um...
A ausência de componentes não-verbais na internet pressupõe que a comunicação escrita substitua, mesmo parcialmente, elementos biológicos fundamentais utilizados durante o reconhecimento parceiros. Tais constituem-se da chamada linguagem não verbal, formada como expressões faciais, orientação corporal, aparência física, espaço interpessoal e contato físico. Portanto, objetivo deste trabalho é analisar utilização nomes usuários substitutos não-verbal fase atratividade entre indivíduos em...
Abstract Division of labor is among the main factors to explain evolutionary success social systems, from origins multicellularity complex animal societies. The remarkable ecological insects seems have been largely driven by ergonomic advantages stemming behavioral specialization workers. However, little known about how individuals and their corresponding repertoires are related each other within a division context, particularly viewing such relationships as networks. Applications network...
