Abstract. The coralligenous build-ups located on the Mediterranean shelf in front of Marzamemi (SE Sicily, Italy) represent useful natural examples to use studying relationship between skeletal organisms and non-skeletal components marine bioconstructions. Coralligenous are formed open systems, their comparison with coeval bioconstructions (biostalactites) confined environments, like submarine caves, allows depicting complex interactions metazoans microbial communities formations recent...
Abstract Yawn contagion occurs when individuals yawn in response to the of others (triggers). This is first account wild geladas ( Theropithecus gelada ), a monkey species that shows captivity and organized core units (one-male/bachelor groups) forming multilevel associations. In population from Kundi plateau (Ethiopia) we found yawning was highest could perceive triggering yawn, which confirms present wild. duration, mouth-opening degree presence/absence vocalisation (possibly modulating...
The main objective of our research is to identify the impact recycling and waste reduction behavior on sustainable tourism decisions Romanian youngsters (18–25 years old). We used PLS-SEM method introduced four variables in model: decisions, interest recycling, reduction, natural less polluted touristic destinations. results emphasize direct influence behaviors made by Generation Z regarding their preference for destinations that are better preserved touched human intervention. novelty...
This study presents an assessment of climate suitability for outdoor leisure activities in Romania using the Holliday Climate Index (HCI) near future (2021–2040), focusing on unfavorable and good conditions. The analysis employs data from ensemble model simulations context RCP4.5 RCP8.5 change scenarios. results indicate that number days with low weather is decreasing almost entire country, especially during warm season, while winter spring, extended regions may be characterized by a higher...
Abstract Play fighting, the most common form of social play in mammals, is a fertile field to investigate use visual signals animals’ communication systems. Visual can be exclusively emitted during (e.g. faces, PF, context-dependent signals), or they released under several behavioural domains lip-smacking, LS, context-independent signals). Rapid facial mimicry (RFM) involuntary rapid congruent response produced after perceiving others’ expressions. RFM leads and emotional synchronisation...
In the frame of project FISR_04543 "CRESCIBLUREEF - Grown in blue: new technologies for knowledge and conservation Mediterranean reefs", we present preliminary data on ecological depositional implications micritic sediments a coralligenous bioconstruction formed along shelf front Marzamemi village (Sicily, Italy). The framework build- up is mainly built by crustose coralline algae, which turn create substrate high-diversified epi- infaunal community. Two types microcrystalline calcite,...

Human-primate interfaces are expanding and, despite recent studies on primates from peri-urban environments, little research exists the impact of agriculture and/or pasture areas primate social behavior and health. We assessed how crop/pasture potentially alter health wild geladas (Theropithecus gelada) frequenting unprotected area Kundi (Ethiopia). predicted that compared to areas, crop (i) would be more challenging for (prediction 1) (ii) have a greater both aggressive affiliative...
Study of animal communication and its potential social role implies associating signals to an emitter. This has been a major limitation in the study cetacean as they produce sounds underwater with no distinctive behavioral signs. Different techniques have used identify callers, but all proved ethical or practical limitations. Bio-logging technology recently provided new hopes, tags developed so far are costly do not allow sufficiently reliable discrimination between calls made by tagged...

Abstract Interest in the study of economic insecurity has grown recent years. However, ongoing debate about how to measure it remains unresolved. On assumption that is related both forward-looking perception future outcomes based on past experience and one’s own situation compared others present, we propose a class objective individual composite inter-temporal indices insecurity. The are obtained by combining two components, one longitudinal cross-sectional. In order combine novel method...
It has been argued that domestication explains the ability of domestic animals to use human cues, but similar abilities exist in wild repeatedly exposed humans. Little is known on importance developmental stage this exposure for developing such abilities. Orphancy and subsequent hand-rearing constitute a quasi-experimental situation investigating question. Cheetahs (
Visual attention is an intrinsic part of intra- and inter-specific interactions. Its structure (e.g. short glances vs. long gazes) depends on the species, type expected outcome interaction. The outcomes earlier repeated interactions determine resulting valence relationships. Human-animal relationships rely upon species-specific cognitive abilities attentional characteristics for associative learning memory formation. crucial in processing construction, but its may depend relationships'...
