1. Environmental conditions during an animal's early life can have profound long-term consequences and affect its fitness. In particular, maternal sibling effects, which strongly influence the growth of altricial mammals may be important. Few studies investigated such early-life parameters in small mammals, because these species post-natal stage is difficult to monitor under natural conditions. 2. We quantified effects litter size (i.e. number siblings), social rank age reproductive history...
Features of an individual's early development are frequently reported to alter the postnatal ontogeny in litter-bearing mammals with respect various physiological parameters. We hypothesized that such effects might also apply personality types. On one hand, litter size by means more contacts littermates, lead offensive other smaller and less developed young from larger litters be due their lower physical capabilities deal challenging situations. studied these contrasting hypotheses rats,...
Density dependence of reproduction has generally been proposed to be caused by habitat heterogeneity and the individual response reproductive output. However, a further mechanism might generate density average rates. High situations associated with high proportion first‐season breeders which often show principally lower performance. We tested for existence latter as well density‐dependent changes effort in population European rabbits living homogeneous grassland habitat. The study was...
Abstract Infanticide is an important source of mortality dependent offspring in several mammal species, whereas female conspecifics are often the perpetrators. This has led to maternal counter‐strategies, such as defence nests. However, cases infanticide hard detect field, and studies on behaviour under natural breeding conditions scarce. We conducted a study European rabbit ( Oryctolagus cuniculus ), which usually considered show low care. The was carried out over 5 yr field enclosure...
Abstract How individual differences translate into group outcomes is a controversial issue and depends on the phenotypic composition of group. Research effect within-group homogeneity/heterogeneity in provided contrasting results, with some studies supporting benefits homogeneity others opposite. We characterized personality trait gregarious bird, European starling (Sturnus vulgaris) investigated how different degrees within-flock variation exploration affect flock behavioural responses....
The development of ethologically meaningful test paradigms in young animals is an essential step the study ontogeny animal personality. Here we explore possibility to integrate offspring separation (distress) calls into consistent individual differences behaviour two species mammals, domestic cat (Felis silvestris catus) and mound-building mouse (Mus spicilegus). Such vocal responses mammals are a potentially useful option as they represent important element mother-offspring communication...
Welfare science has built its foundations on veterinary medicine and thus measures of health. Since bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) tend to mask symptoms poor health, management in captivity would benefit from advanced understanding the links between health behavioural parameters, few studies exist topic. In this study, four representative were chosen: status (as qualified by veterinarians), percentage daily food eaten, occurrences new rake marks (proxy measure social activity),...
