Acta Ethologica is an academic journal focused on ethology and related disciplines, publishing empirical research, theoretical papers, short articles, reviews, book reviews, and methodological papers. The journal particularly emphasizes the integration of mechanistic (developmental) and functional (evolutionary) levels of research in behavioral analysis, with a special interest in topics such as the adaptive plasticity of behavior, inter-individual and geographical differences in behavior, the mechanisms underlying behavior, the evolutionary processes and functions of behavior, and many other related themes. Acta Ethologica is the official journal of the International Society for Ethology (ISPA), the Center for Behavioral Research (CRL), and the Portuguese Society of Ethology (SPE).

Association between social centrality and morphotypical masculinization in female wild cavies (Cavia aperea)

Abstract The common cuckoo Cuculus canorus is an obligate brood parasite of many Eurasian bird species that exploit the parental care of their hosts. Although only females lay eggs in nests of passerine hosts, male and female cuckoos should cooperate to have a success in nest parasitism. Many bird species mobbing cuckoos as an element of deterrence of cuckoos from the breeding territory of the host. However, mobbing behaviour is costly, although only cuckoo females pose a threat to the dangers of the host. Because only the presence of a female cuckoo is dangerous, due to laying eggs in the nests of hosts, birds should mainly attack cuckoo females. Therefore, we tested for differences in anti-parasite response using field experiments with female and male cuckoo dummies, in 92 breeding sites with prime habitats in Poland. tested for differences in cuckoo responses in anti-parasite response using field experiments and cuckoo dummies (male and female) placed at 92 breeding sites with prime habitats in Poland. The host species that behaved most aggressively towards cuckoos was the barn swallow Hirundo rustica , while the most aggressive behaviour recorded in the non-host group was the great tit Parus major . Generally, host species reacted to cuckoo female dummies with a significantly higher probability than cuckoo males dummies. We conclude that differences in reaction by hosts and non-hosts may have arisen from selection for recognition of danger (parasite female) by reduction of reproductive success.

Abstract The current and cascading effects of global change challenges the interactions both between animal individuals (i.e. social and sexual behaviour) and the environment they inhabit. Amphibians are an ecologically diverse class with a wide range of social and sexual behaviours, making them a compelling model to understand the potential adaptations of animals faced with the effects of human-induced rapid environmental changes (HIREC). Poison frogs (Dendrobatoidea) are a particularly interesting system, as they display diverse social behaviours that are shaped by conspecific and environmental interactions, thus offering a tractable system to investigate how closely related species may respond to the impacts of HIREC. Here, we discuss the potential impacts of global change on poison frog behaviour, and the future challenges this group may face in response to such change. We pay special attention to parental care and territoriality, which are emblematic of this clade, and consider how different species may flexibly respond and adapt to increasingly frequent and diverse anthropogenic stress. More specifically, we hypothesise that some parents may increase care (i.e. clutch attendance and distance travelled for tadpole transport) in HIREC scenarios and that species with more generalist oviposition and tadpole deposition behaviours may fare more positively than their less flexible counterparts; we predict that the latter may either face increased competition for resources limited by HIREC or will be forced to adapt and expand their natural preferences. Likewise, we hypothesise that human-driven habitat alteration will disrupt the acoustic and visual communication systems due to increased noise pollution and/or changes in the surrounding light environment. We highlight the need for more empirical research combining behavioural ecology and conservation to better predict species’ vulnerability to global change and efficiently focus conservation efforts.

Abstract Urban noise can potentially disturb the acoustic signals of animals inhabiting urban areas. Although a wide variety of noises from different sources is common in cities, the impact of non-engine noise on animal calls is less studied. In a natural experiment, we evaluated the effect of different urban noises on the advertisement calls of urban frogs ( Eleutherodactylus nitidus ) in the metropolitan area of Puebla, Mexico. We recorded and analyzed 672 advertisement calls from 28 male frogs and the corresponding environmental noises from three distinct localities. Our analysis focused on four acoustic properties of the calls: inter-call interval, call duration, dominant frequency, and call amplitude. To standardize the amplitude measurements of sound pressure levels produced by noise and frog calls, we employed a practical approach using a reference signal for calibration. We treated the longitudinal data of different noises occurring before, during, and after advertisement calls as repeated measures within the urban locations. During our samplings, frogs called amidst spontaneous urban noises, including dog barking, fireworks, and vehicle engine sounds. Our results indicate that vehicle engine sounds and dog barking do not cause significant distortions in the calls of these urban frogs. However, we observed slight variations in the dominant frequency of calls, decreasing by 11 Hz, during and after fireworks. Given the observed plasticity of E. nitidus in response to noise, urban noises may not pose a severe problem for this urban frog.

Abstract The degree of prey sociality reflects trade-offs between predation risk, and competition for mates and resources. Consequently, the degree of sociality is predicted to differ spatiotemporally. Variations in nychthemeral sociality are, however, understudied. We assessed the activity of solitary, territorial black wildebeest bulls ( Connochaetes gnou ) over rutting and non-rutting seasons. We predicted that solitary bulls would reduce their nocturnal use of territorial stands and join herds to reduce predation risk from nocturnally hunting lions ( Panthera leo ), but that these responses would differ across rutting and non-rutting seasons. We used camera trap data and modelled solitary bull and herd activity over 24-hour daily cycles, across rutting and non-rutting seasons. We calculated the proportion of images with solitary bulls and herds across nocturnal and diurnal periods, across both seasons. We show that solitary bulls are predominantly diurnal across both seasons, but the probability of nocturnal detection is higher in the rutting than in the non-rutting season. Furthermore, we recorded a lower proportion of solitary bulls to herds at night in the non-rutting relative to the rutting season. Thus, wildebeest bulls may trade-off predation risk for mate acquisition during the rutting season but reduce risky solitary behaviour during the non-rutting season.
