The influence of human disturbance on wildlife nocturnality

Science, Journal Year: 2018, Volume and Issue: 360(6394), P. 1232 - 1235

Nocturnal refuge As the human population grows, there are fewer places for animals to live out their lives independently of our influence. Given mostly diurnal tendencies, one domain that remains less affected by humans is night. Gaynor et al. found across globe and mammalian species—from deer coyotes from tigers wild boar—animals becoming more nocturnal (see Perspective Benítez-López). Human activities all kinds, including nonlethal pastimes such as hiking, seem drive make use hours when we not around. Such changes may provide some relief, but they also have ecosystem-level consequences. Science , this issue p. 1232 ; see 1185

Behavioral responses to changing environments

Behavioral Ecology, Journal Year: 2014, Volume and Issue: 26(3), P. 665 - 673

Published: Oct. 15, 2014

Humans have brought about unprecedented changes to environments worldwide.For many species, behavioral adjustments represent the first response altered conditions.In this review, we consider pivotal role that behavior plays in determining fate of species under human-induced environmental change and highlight key research priorities.In particular, discuss importance plasticity whether adaptive plastic responses are sufficient keeping pace with changing conditions.We then examine interplay between individual population processes ways which can affect ecosystem function stability.Lastly, turn evolutionary consequences anthropogenic impact behaviors on process facilitate or hinder adaptation change.

Temperature increase and its effects on fish stress physiology in the context of global warming

Abstract The capacity of fishes to cope with environmental variation is considered be a main determinant their fitness and partly determined by stress physiology. By 2100, global ocean temperature expected rise 1–4°C, potential consequences for Global warming affecting animal populations worldwide through chronic increases an increase in the frequency extreme heatwave events.

Ecological traps: current evidence and future directions

Proceedings of the Royal Society B Biological Sciences, Journal Year: 2016, Volume and Issue: 283(1824), P. 20152647 - 20152647

Published: Feb. 10, 2016

Ecological traps, which occur when animals mistakenly prefer habitats where their fitness is lower than in other available following rapid environmental change, have important conservation and management implications. Empirical research has focused largely on assessing the behavioural effects of by studying a small number geographically close habitat patches. Traps, however, also been defined terms population-level (i.e. as preferred sufficiently low quality to cause population declines), this scale most relevant for management. We systematically review ecological traps literature (i) describe geographical taxonomic distribution efforts study (ii) examine how different vary strength preference fitness, (iii) evaluate robustness methods being used identify (iv) determine whether information required assess consequences considered. use our results discuss key knowledge gaps, propose improved highlight fruitful avenues future research.

Individual differences in behavioural plasticities

ABSTRACT Interest in individual differences animal behavioural plasticities has surged recent years, but research this area been hampered by semantic confusion as different investigators use the same terms (e.g. plasticity, flexibility, responsiveness) to refer phenomena. The first goal of review is suggest a framework for categorizing many types plasticities, describe examples each, and indicate why using reversibility criterion problematic. This then used address number timely questions about plasticities. One set concerns experimental designs that can be study various Although within‐individual are default option empirical studies some situations when experience at an early age affects behaviour expressed subsequent ages), ‘replicate individual’ provide useful insights into To date, researchers replicate have documented all major categories described herein. Another important question whether how related one another. Currently there evidence [e.g. contextual learning rates, IIV (intra‐individual variability), endogenous ontogenetic plasticities) themselves vary function experiences earlier life, is, plasticity developmentally plastic. These findings support assumption among individuals prior may contribute observed given age. Several authors predicted correlations across between i.e. will generally more plastic than others. However, most these predictions, including indirect from relationships personality traits currently sparse equivocal. final section suggests appreciation similarities help theoreticians formulate testable models explain evolution evolutionary ecological consequences
