Animals constantly need to evaluate available external and internal information to make appropriate decisions.Identifying,assessing,and acting on relevant cues in contexts such as mate choice,intra-sexual competition,...
In time of global climate changes,astatic inland water reservoirs that contribute to water retention and alleviation of adverse effects of periodic river floods,are getting more and more important.Small,periodically ...
Since tadpoles change their behavior when facing adverse environmental conditions, observing tadpoles in a tank can help detect problems in their ma intena nce. Detecting such a bnormal behavior early, an amphibian br...
