Stability of dyadic dominance status and recognition of the opponent in male crickets Gryllus bimaculatus (Orthoptera: Gryllidae).

abstract：:Dominance relationships were studied between marked or otherwise individually recognizable male green swordtails in a creek at Lake Catemaco and in a tributary of the Rio Atoyac (Veracruz, Mexico). The Atoyac population is unique because of a high degree of polymorphism, including both macromelanophore spotting and a ...

abstract：:It has been shown that duration of tonic immobility (TI) reflects predation risk and levels of fearfulness. Since the chances of escaping predation are higher in larger groups, birds from these groups should have shorter TI duration. On the other hand, increased competition between birds in larger groups might lead to...
