Racer goby is one of several Ponto–Caspian gobiids spreading throughout European rivers and concurrent with recent declines in threatened populations a native species similar biology, the bullhead. Although suggestive competitive interactions, evidence thereof scarce, so we examined behavioural interactions between racer bullhead (single specimens each together, also pairs species) under experimental conditions (shared space two shelters) to determine whether invader displaces when food...
The Ponto-Caspian fish species, tubenose goby Protherorhinus marmoratus, was recorded for the first time in Poland. Six specimens were captured during April 2008 from rip-rap habitat where river enters of Wloclawski Reservoir, which is situated lower section Vistula River (Baltic basin). This appears to be next stage species’ westward invasion through so-called ‘central corridor’ species. is, therefore, fourth alien recent decades disperse into Polish inland waters, following after round...
In recent decades, Amur sleeper is one of the most invasive fish species in Eastern and Central Europe. Generally, it assumed that success an can largely depend on plasticity its life-history traits, e.g., indicated by higher investment reproduction initial stage invasion. On other hand, such energy allocation to production gonads should negatively impact somatic growth rate. The aim this article was explore phenomenon a non-native population inhabiting artificial reservoir large lowland...
The Amur sleeper diet spectrum was investigated in addition to its spatial, seasonal and size-related changes, order predict which groups of native prey would be most affected by this exotic predator that has rapidly invaded many Eastern Central European inland waters recent decades. In total, 527 Perccottus glenii individuals were collected four sites the Włocławski Reservoir (the Vistula River, Baltic basin, Poland). Altogether 50 food categories identified, including crustaceans, insects,...
Short-term memory is implicated in a range of cognitive abilities and critical for understanding primate evolution. To investigate the effects phylogeny, ecology sociality on short-term memory, we tested largest most diverse sample to date (421 non-human primates across 41 species) an experimental delayed-response task. Our results confirm previous findings that longer delays decrease performance species taxa. analyses demonstrate considerable contribution phylogeny over ecological social...
Electronic decision-support tools are becoming an essential component of government strategies to tackle non-native species invasions. This study describes the development and application a multilingual electronic tool for screening terrestrial animals under current future climate conditions: Terrestrial Animal Species Invasiveness Screening Kit (TAS-ISK). As adaptation widely employed Aquatic (AS-ISK), TAS-ISK question template inherits from original Weed Risk Assessment (WRA) related...
Object permanence is the ability to represent mentally an object and follow its position even when it has disappeared from view. According Piaget's 6-stage scale of sensorimotor period development, seems that appears in Stage 4 fully develops 6. In this study, we investigated some species monkeys (i.e. pig-tailed macaque, lion-tailed Celebes crested barbary De Brazza's monkey, L'Hoest's Allen's swamp black mangabeys, collared Geoffroy's spider monkey) track displacement object, which...

Bottom-dwelling fishes with low swimming capacity burrow into soft substrates or occupy shelters, such as stones and vegetation, to reduce metabolic costs of holding their position in running waters. As a consequence, under natural conditions it can be difficult examine the effect water flow limiting factor benthic fishes. The velocity (0, 10, 20, 30 cm s−1) preferences spined loach Northern golden were examined experimentally an isosceles, cross-shaped acrylic tank five square chambers...
