Large carrion is inhabited by highly variable and interactive communities of insects.Positive interactions in carrion insect communities have been recently the focus in carrion ecology.In contrast,competition between ...
Brood parasites such as the common cuckoo Cuculus canorus exploit the parental abilities of their hosts,hosts avoid brood parasitism and predation by showing specific behavior such as loss of feathers,emission of fear...
Copulatory plugs(CP)are substances produced during copulation that block the genital openings of the female.In several species of Nematoda,males produce CP that are thought to impede female remating and thus sperm com...
Intra and in terspecific competiti on for n ectar play an imports nt role in hummingbird communities. Larger sized species usually exclude smaller species from the rich floral resources. However, it has been recently ...
Urbanization of species is an ongoing process where successful urban colonizers usually obtain large fitness benefits. Mechanisms proposed to explain associations between urbanization and lifehistory traits are based ...
In many sexually reproducing species, individuals can gather information about potential mates by observing their mating success. This behavioral pattern, that we call mate-copying, was reported in the fruit fly Droso...
In the animal kingdom there are countless strategies via which males optimize their reproductivesuccess when faced with male-male competition. These male strategies typically fall into two maincategories: pre- and po...
