Abstract: Animal reintroductions and translocations are potentially important interventions to save species from extinction, but most unsuccessful. Mortality due predation is a principal cause of failure. Animals that have been isolated predators, either throughout their lifetime or over evolutionary time, may no longer express appropriate antipredator behavior. For this reason, conservation biologists beginning include training in pre‐release preparation procedures. We describe the...
For an animal invading a novel region, the ability to develop new behaviors should facilitate use of food resources and hence increase its survival in environment. However, need explore may entail costs such as exposing unfamiliar predators. These two opposing forces result exploration-avoidance conflict, which can be expected interfere with acquisition resources. consequences less dramatic highly urbanized environments where opportunities are common predation risk is low. We tested this...

Foraging innovation occurs when animals exploit novel food sources or invent new foraging techniques. Species vary widely in their rates of innovation, and these differences can be quantified using counts behavior observed the wild. One assumed benefits innovativeness is that it allows species to a wider variety habitats foods, enhancing survival resources are shortage individuals invade environments. However, relationship between propensity ecological generalism lacks firm empirical...
Behavioural innovations are increasingly thought to provide a rich source of phenotypic plasticity and evolutionary change. Innovation propensity shows substantial variation across avian taxa provides an adaptive mechanism by which behaviour is flexibly adjusted changing environmental conditions. Here, we tested for the first time prediction that inter-individual in innovation equally measure behavioural flexibility. We used Indian mynas, Sturnus tristis, highly successful worldwide invader....
The capacity to behave innovatively facilitates adaptation changing environmental conditions and accelerates speciation rates. Innovation tendencies show substantial variation both among within species, but the sources of this remain poorly understood. There has been much debate on role cognition significant amounts empirical research influence motivational state-dependent processes, prediction that innovation might also be facilitated by motor processes only recently begun gain traction....
Abstract Compassionate conservation focuses on 4 tenets: first, do no harm; individuals matter; inclusivity of individual animals; and peaceful coexistence between humans animals. Recently, compassionate has been promoted as an alternative to conventional philosophy. We believe examples presented by conservationists are deliberately or arbitrarily chosen focus mammals; inherently not compassionate; offer ineffective solutions. charismatic species, notably large predators megaherbivores. The...
Planet Earth is undergoing unprecedented levels of environmental degradation and destruction at a global scale. Incentivizing people to adopt behaviors that are compatible with sustainable future will help address the current ecological crisis. However, it first necessary understand psychological drivers pro-environmental behavior. Here, we examined whether greater knowledge empathy predicted higher behavior in an Australian population sample. We aimed advance our understanding variables...
Abstract Many species modify their behaviour in response to the scents of predators, but or populations living without predators may lose such abilities. This loss has been suggested be irreversible, and constitute a significant hurdle restoring historical ecosystems. Olfactory predator recognition was studied two macropodid marsupials ‐ tammar wallaby ( Macropus eugenii ) red‐necked pademelon Thylogale thetis ). Both are ‘critical weight range’ Australian native mammals that have negatively...
While “knowledge learning” about the outgroup has been regarded as one of key mechanisms for contact–prejudice relation since contact hypothesis’ first inception (Pettigrew & Tropp, 2008), “learning,” more broadly, rarely used an explanatory framework to investigate consequences intergroup contact. In this article, we lay foundation a learning model anxiety and stress in ingroup–outgroup interactions. We distinguish between episodic chronic responses recommend investigations on...
