Flight initiation distance changes across landscapes and habitats in a successful urban coloniser
Urbanisation is a major land use change that introduces novel sources of disturbance and
risk into an ecosystem. Successful urban species modify their fear behaviour in response to …

[HTML][HTML] Pace-of-life syndrome: linking personality, metabolism and colour ornamentation in male guppies
Within populations, there commonly exists consistent among-individual differences in
behaviour. As a potential mechanism maintaining this variation, the pace-of-life-syndrome (POLS) …

Ecological insights into a charismatic bird using different citizen science approaches
Citizen science projects provide valuable ecological data owing to their capacity to collect a
wide variety of data at scales that would be difficult to achieve through traditional methods. A …

Self-organization and information transfer in Antarctic krill swarms
Antarctic krill swarms are one of the largest known animal aggregations, and yet, despite
being the keystone species of the Southern Ocean, little is known about how swarms are …

Foraging enrichment alleviates oral repetitive behaviors in captive red‐tailed black cockatoos (Calyptorhynchus banksii)
The relationship between inadequate foraging opportunities and the expression of oral
repetitive behaviors has been well documented in many production animal species. However, …

The effect of visitor number on the behavior of zoo-housed macropods
Free-range exhibits are used by zoos to allow visitors to experience or interact with animals
in a semi-natural setting; close interactions with animals have been shown to increase …

Rapid color change in a group-hunting pelagic predator attacking schooling prey
A major challenge for group-hunting predators is coordinating movement at high speed. Billfish
— large predators with an elongated rostrum (bill) — include some of the fastest animals …

Risk balancing through selective use of social and physical information: a case study in the humbug damselfish
To effectively balance the need to forage against the need to avoid predation, animals should
utilize information from both their physical and social environments. However, most studies …

Mound‐building behaviour of a keystone bioturbator alters rates of leaf litter decomposition and movement in urban reserves
Bioturbation, the disturbance of soil and litter by digging animals plays an important role for
a variety of species and ecological processes in many ecosystems. The majority of studies …

Unexpected dispersal of Australian brush‐turkeys (Alectura lathami) in an urban landscape
Australian brush‐turkeys (Alectura lathami) are atypical urban colonising birds due to their
poor flight and dispersal ability, ground foraging and nesting behaviour, and lack of parental …
