Due to its unforgiving nature, predation pressure exerts strong selection pressure on the behaviour of prey animals. As a result, prey are forced to balance the conflicting demands of successfully detecting and avoiding predators and the need to engage in other fitness-related activities such as foraging, mating and social behaviour. Here, we provide an overview…
Play fighting has been one of the most intensely studied forms of play and so has provided some of our deepest insights into the understanding of play in general. As the label implies, this behavior resembles serious fighting, in that the animals compete for an advantage over one another, but unlike true aggression, for play…
Introduction The nocturnal behavior of many ungulate species has currently not been sufficiently studied. However, the behavioral patterns of large herbivores vary greatly between day and night, and knowledge about species’ behavior is not only scientifically interesting, but also required for successful animal management and husbandry. Material and methods In the current study, the nocturnal…
Social buffering comprises the reduction of stress an organism experiences when in the presence of a companion and has been well documented in highly social animals, such as birds and mammals. To date, it has not been reported in reptiles. Rattlesnakes are cryptically social, exhibiting kin recognition and forming subtle social networks in certain contexts.…
Play is a widespread phenomenon in the animal kingdom with observations from all vertebrate classes. The adaptive value of this behaviour, however, remains unclear. In the past century, numerous theories have been put forward, ranging from releasing surplus energy to training species-specific behaviours. However, none of these theories can fully explain the functions of play.…
