TNR and conservation on a university campus: a political ecological perspective by Jonathan Dombrosky, Steve Wolverton

“…First, the importance of understanding the processes of domestication and evolution and how each relates to felid behavioral ecology is discussed. The leading hypothesis to explain domestication of wildcats (Felis silvestris) relates to their behavioral ecology as a solitary predator, which made them suited for pest control in early agricultural villages of the Old World. …”

Substrate thermal properties influence ventral brightness evolution in ectotherms by Jonathan Goldenberg, Liliana D’Alba, Karen Bisschop, Bram Vanthournout, Matthew D. Shawkey

“…Their results suggest that these patterns may have been involved in the diversification of vipers during the Miocene, and highlight the importance of ventral body regions when considering behavioral ecology and evolution.…”

The effect of illumination and time of day on movements of bobcats (Lynx rufus). by Aimee P Rockhill, Christopher S DePerno, Roger A Powell

“…Understanding behavioral changes of prey and predators based on lunar illumination provides insight into important life history, behavioral ecology, and survival information. The objectives of this research were to determine if bobcat movement rates differed by period of day (dark, moon, crepuscular, day), lunar illumination (<10%, 10 - <50%, 50 - <90%, >90%), and moon phase (new, full). …”

Multi-modal courtship in the peacock spider, Maratus volans (O.P.-Cambridge, 1874). by Madeline B Girard, Michael M Kasumovic, Damian O Elias

“…The peacock spider and other closely related species are outstanding study organisms for testing hypotheses about the evolution and functional significance of complex displays, thus, this descriptive study establishes a new model system for behavioral ecology, one that certainly stands to make important contributions to the field.…”

Revisiting foraging approaches in neuroscience by Hall-Mcmaster, S, Luyckx, F

“…In this article, we review recent insights from foraging neuroscience, behavioral ecology and computational modelling. We find that a commonly used approach in foraging neuroscience, in which choice items are encountered at random, does not reflect the way animals direct their foraging efforts in certain real-world settings, nor does it reflect efficient reward-maximizing behavior. …”

Dog Stick Chewing: An Overlooked Instance of Tool Use? by James Brooks, Shinya Yamamoto, Shinya Yamamoto

“…Tool use is a central topic in research on cognitive evolution and behavioral ecology in non-human animals. Originally thought to be a uniquely human phenomenon, many other species have been observed making and using tools for a variety of purposes, starting with Goodall’s (1964) groundbreaking work with chimpanzees in Gombe. …”
