Cím:The effects of predation risk on the use of social foraging tactics / Zoltán Barta, András Liker, Ferenc Mónus
Dátum:2004
Megjegyzések:The effects of predation on the use of social foraging tactics, such as producing and scrounging, are poorly known in animals. On the one hand, recent theoretical models predict increased use of scrounging with increasing predation risk, when scroungers seeking feeding opportunities also have a higher chance of detecting predators. On the other hand, there may be no relation between tactic use and predation when antipredator vigilance is not compatible with scanning flockmates. We investigated experimentally the effects of predation risk on social foraging tactic use in tree sparrows, Passer montanus. We manipulated predation risk in the field by changing the distance between shelter and a feeder. Birds visited the feeder in smaller flocks, spent less time on it and were somewhat more vigilant far from shelter than close to it. Increased predation risk strongly affected the social foraging tactic used: birds used the scrounger tactic 30% more often far from cover than close to it. Between-flock variability in scrounging frequency was not related to the average vigilance level of the flock members, and within-flock variability in the use of scrounging was negatively related to the vigilance of birds. Our results suggest that in tree sparrows, the increased frequency of scrounging during high predation risk cannot simply be explained by an additional advantage of increasing antipredator vigilance. We propose alternative mechanisms (e.g. increased stochasticity in food supply, and that riskier places are used by individuals with lower reserves) that may explain increased scrounging when animals forage under high predation risk

Cím:Weather matters: begging calls are temperatureand size-dependent signals of offspring state / Dakin, Roslyn, Ouyang, Jenny Q., Lendvai, Ádám Z., Haussmann, Mark F., Moore, Ignacio T., Bonier, Frances
Dátum:2016
ISSN:0005-7959 1568-539X
Megjegyzések:Begging calls provide a way for parents to gauge offspring state. Although temperature is known to affect call production, previous studies have not examined the influence of ambient temperature at the nest. We recorded ambient temperature and begging calls of 3 day-old tree swallows (Tachycineta bicolor). Our results indicate that typical daily temperature flux can dramatically alter a brood`s begging calls, depending on body size. Broods with small (low body mass) nestlings decreased the rate and length of their calls at colder temperatures, consistent with a biophysical constraint. In contrast, broods with large (high body mass) nestlings increased the rate of their calls at colder temperatures. Parents responded in a context-dependent manner, returning more rapidly after smaller nestlings gave longer begging calls. Our results suggest that the function of offspring begging calls is highly dynamic, with environmental conditions altering the relationship between begging calls and offspring state.

Cím:The effect of reward-handler dissociation on dogs' obedience performance in different conditions / Linda Gerencsér, András Kosztolányi, Joni Delanoeije, Ádám Miklósi
Dátum:2016
ISSN:0168-1591
Megjegyzések:Dogs' responsiveness to instructions of the handler is known to be influenced by several factors. In this study we examined whether reward-handler dissociation has an effect on the obedience performance of family dogs with basic training history. We looked at situations involving human-dog interactions under controlled laboratory settings by measuring dogs' obedience performance to two known commands (?sit' and ?down') in several different conditions. For two different groups of dogs, we manipulated the source of the food reward: it was provided either by the handler or by a remote controlled food dispenser device during a practising period, when the handler stood in the dog's close vicinity (0.5 m). In three different test conditions the position of the handler was manipulated: he/she stood further away (3 m) from the dog either beside a screen, hid behind the screen or was outside of the room. No food reward was provided during the test trials, which were interrupted by so called reminder sessions, where dog-handler dyads practiced both commands in close vicinity to each other and food reward was also involved. We found that the performance of dogs that experienced receiving food reward from the handler was significantly poorer during the test conditions, i.e. in contexts with increased distance between them and the handler (including handler out of sight), as compared to their performance during the reminder sessions in the handlers' close vicinity. Experience with receiving food reward form the dispenser device lessened the difference in dogs' obedience between the test conditions and reminder sessions, and moreover, it also revealed a more prompt response to the ?sit' than to the ?down' commands. Thus our results show that reward-handler dissociation seems to affect dogs' obedience performance in the investigated conditions.

Cím:Personality traits across ontogeny in firebugs, Pyrrhocoris apterus / Gyuris Enikő, Feró Orsolya, Barta Zoltán
Dátum:2012
ISSN:0003-3472
Megjegyzések:Consistent behavioural differences have long been recognized in animals but it still remains unclear how these traits change over ontogeny. As individuals can face different situations over their lives, and their life history expectation may not be the same in different life stages, one can expect that using different strategies in different life stages would be adventageous. Characteristics of animal personality across ontogeny could be measured at group and individual levels. Since personality alteration across time can be studied from various aspects one should use the following indexes: mean-level, differential, structural and individual consistency. We investigated whether common firebugs behave in the same way throug a major life stage transition, namely final ecdysis. We measured activity, boldness and exploration twice in the larval stage and also twice when bugs reached the adult stage. We found that the relative value of behavioural traits was stable across ontogeny and the correlation structure among behavioural traits remained constant over time. Nevertheless, larvae differed from adults in general in that they were bolder, explored their environment more thoroughly and seemed to be more active before final ecdysis. These results indicate that personality could change differently across major life stage transitions; therefore this importand factor needs to be considered in further research.

Cím:The effects of energy reserves and dominance on the use of social-foraging strategies in the house sparrow / Ádám Z. Lendvai, András Liker, Zoltán Barta
Dátum:2006
Megjegyzések:In social animals, dominance rank often influences individuals' behaviour, but in most cases it is unknown how dominance modulates the effects of other phenotypic traits. We investigated the mutual effects of social dominance and the level of energy reserves on the use of social-foraging strategies in captive flocks of house sparrows, Passer domesticus.We used experimental wind exposure to manipulate overnight energy expenditure of dominant and subordinate individuals. In response to the experimental treatment dominants used scrounging (exploiting others' food finding) significantly more, whereas for subordinates there was only a moderate and nonsignificant increase in scrounging. Individual variability in the frequency of scrounging was higher in subordinates than in dominants and this difference between the dominance groups was unaffected by the treatment. These results suggest that individuals of different dominance status adopt different strategies: to cope with an energetically challenging situation, dominants behave rather uniformly by increasing further their preference for scrounging, whereas subordinates do not alter their tactic, but may rely on using scrounging opportunistically.

Cím:The Effects of Dominance on Social Foraging Tactic Use in House Sparrows / András Liker, Zoltán Barta
Dátum:2002
Megjegyzések:We investigated whether social foraging tactic use (producing and scrounging) in birds is affected by the dominance rank of individuals as predicted by a phenotype limited producerscrounger game. In a captive ? ock of house sparrows, we observed the behaviour of the birds when they were foraging on a grid containing clumps of seeds. We measured the ? ghting success of the birds, determined the method by which they found food clumps (? nding or joining), and measured their feeding rate. Joining were frequently observed and usually involved aggressive interactions. Most birds used both ? nding and joining to obtain food. We found that foraging method was related to dominance: the frequency of joining gradually increased with increasing dominance rank, as predicted by the phenotype limited model for ? ocks where there are moderate competitive asymmetries among the birds. Food intake rate of individuals was not related to either their dominance rank or foraging method. Similar weak relationships were predicted by the model among these variables for ? ocks with moderate competitive asymmetries. Behavioural variability among sparrows in locomotion frequency and vigilance was not related to their foraging method, but the rate of investigating potential food caches strongly decreased with increasing frequency of joining. We conclude that the phenotype limited model successfully predicts the relationship between dominance and joining frequency in house sparrows feeding on concentrated food sources, and we suggest that the distribution of food used in tests of the model may crucially affect their results

Cím:Degree of synchronization of tree sparrows in flocks under different predation risk / Ferenc Mónus, Zoltán Barta
Dátum:2011
ISSN:0005-7959
Megjegyzések:When exposed to predators animals often benefit from synchronized movements and behaviour. In this study, we investigated the level of synchronization at arrivals at and departures from a feeding platform in flock-feeding tree sparrows (Passer montanus) under two different conditions; near to a protective cover or far from it. Sparrow flocks spent 43% less time in a feeding bout, and waited 30% more between bouts, far from the cover than near to it. The relationship of vigilance and flock size was different between the two conditions; the proportion of time allocated to vigilance increased more with decreasing flock size when far from the cover than when near to it. These results suggest that sparrows perceived higher predation risk when fed farther away from the protective cover. Furthermore, we found that far from the cover arrivals of sparrows were 79% more synchronized than when close to the cover. Finally, we did not find significant difference between the two feeding conditions in the synchronization at the departure. Possibly, due to its escape function, departures may be as synchronized as possible, even when feeding near to the protective cover

Megjegyzések:population, but not in the Greek population. Spottedness of eggs were similar in both populations. Generally, a tendency for a higher interclutch variation was found in Hungary. Intraclutch variation was more similar in the two populations, but for the colour variables it showed a lower value in Hungary than in Greece. The heavy cuckoo parasitism in Hungary is suggested to be the main cause for the increased interclutch variation in relation to intraclutch variation in egg appearance among great reed warbler clutches. The high interclutch variation reduces the chance that the parasite egg's appearance matches that of the hosts', which facilitates hosts' egg discrimination.

Cím:Increased host tolerance of multiple cuckoo eggs leads to higher fledging success of the brood parasite / Csaba Moskát, Márk E. Hauber, 1, Jesús M. Avilés, Miklós Bán, Rita Hargitaie, Marcel Honza
Dátum:2009
ISSN:0003-3472
Megjegyzések:In birds, multiple parasitism is the laying of two or more eggs by one or more parasitic females in a single host nest. Several cognitive mechanisms may explain how multiple parasitism could affect parasite egg discrimination by hosts. Rejection based on discordance predicts that multiple parasitism provides a perceptually more error-prone way for hosts to reject parasitism because more foreign eggs decrease the chance that any one egg is perceived as most dissimilar and recognized as foreign, unless parasite eggs are all similarly highly nonmimetic. In contrast, rejection based on clutch uniformity predicts that in multiple parasitism egg rejection is more error-proof if mimicry by parasite eggs is variable, because increased variation in egg appearance makes for easier egg rejection for hosts. Finally, true egg recog- nition, that is, rejection based on memory of the host's own eggs, predicts no differences in rejection rates from nests with single or multiple parasitism. We studied common cuckoos, Cuculus canorus, parasitizing a population of great reed warblers, Acrocephalus arundinaceus, in Hungary where multiple parasitism was frequent. Hosts rejected parasite eggs less often in nests with multiple parasitism than in nests with single parasitism. These observations were confirmed by experimental parasitism and support the rejection based on discordance hypothesis. As hosts were more likely to tolerate cuckoo eggs in nests with multiple parasitism, we found that multiple parasitism more than doubled cuckoos' reproductive output per host nest compared to single parasitism.

Cím:Correlated evolution of nest and egg characteristics in birds / Jenő Nagy, Mark E.Hauber, Ian R.Hartley, Mark C. Mainwaring
Dátum:2019
ISSN:0003-3472
Megjegyzések:Correlational selection is defined as selection for adaptive character combinations, and it therefore favours combinations of coevolved traits via phenotypic integration. Whereas the evolution of avian nestbuilding and egg-laying characteristics are well understood, their correlated dynamics remain overlooked. Here, we examined patterns of correlated evolution between nest, egg and clutch characteristics in 855 species of birds from 90 families, representing nearly 9% and 33% of avian species- and familylevel diversity. We show that the ancestral state of birds' nests was semi-open with nest sites having since become progressively more open over time. Furthermore, nest characteristics appear to have influenced egg-laying patterns in that while semi-open nests with variable clutch sizes were probably ancestral, clutch sizes have declined over evolutionary time in both open and closed nests. Ancestrally, avian eggs were also large, heavy and either elliptic or round, and there have been high transition rates from elliptic to round eggs in open nests and vice versa in closed nests. Ancestrally, both unpigmented (white) and pigmented (blueebrown) eggs were laid in open nests, although blueebrown eggs have transitioned more to white over time in open and closed nests, independently. We conclude that there has been a remarkable level of correlated evolution between the nest and egg characteristics of birds, which supports scenarios of correlational selection on both of these extended avian phenotypes.

Cím:Instantaneous song modification in response to fluctuating traffic noise in the tree cricket Oecanthus pellucens / Kirill Márk Orci, Krisztina Petróczki, Zoltán Barta
Dátum:2016
ISSN:0003-3472
Megjegyzések:Noise pollution is a world-wide phenomenon and its effects on animal behaviour have been investigated by numerous studies focusing mostly on vertebrate taxa. However, studying how insects are impacted by human-made noise is indispensable, because of their ecological importance and in order to gain a more comprehensive knowledge of how animals can cope with this new challenge. The few studies that have examined the effects of noise pollution on the acoustic signalling of insects have characterized noise over long timescales. In this study we examined whether males of the tree cricket Oecanthus pellucens modify their calling song in response to the fluctuation in traffic noise over a short timescale. To examine this question we carried out (1) noise level measurements over a short time window (200 ms) paired with song parameter measurements on sound recordings of males singing in their noise-polluted habitats and (2) laboratory playback experiments in which each singing male was recorded during a silent control period and during noise playback. Our results show that males shortened their calls (echemes) and paused singing with a higher probability with increasing noise level. However, males did not modify the fundamental frequency of their song and did not adjust the duration of the interecheme interval in response to noise. These results suggest that crickets decrease signalling effort during high levels of noise and, at least for the song parameters we examined, do not modify their signals, as do birds and frogs, to reduce masking by anthropogenic noise.

Cím:Mate preference does not influence reproductive motivation and parental cooperation in female zebra finches / Pogány Ákos, Szurovecz Zita, Vincze Ernő, Barta Zoltán, Székely Tamás
Dátum:2014
ISSN:0005-7959 1568-539X
Megjegyzések:In socially monogamous species, low availability of sexually active unpaired individuals in the local population may constrain mate choice, resulting in mating with sub-optimal partners. Here we experimentally investigate whether female reproductive behaviour is different when paired with a preferred or a non-preferred male in the zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata). First, we assessed female mating preferences using a four-way choice apparatus, then females were caged together with either their preferred or least-preferred male. Female reproductive motivation, assessed by the propensity of laying eggs within two weeks from pairing and clutch mass, did not differ between the two experimental groups. Females responded to mate removal by either increasing their care, so as to compensate for the lost care of their mate, or by significantly reducing incubation. This bimodal response was not explained by mate preference, nevertheless, we found that females with lower baseline (i.e., pre-manipulation) incubation effort were more likely to cease incubation during mate removal. Taken together, we found no evidence that female reproductive behaviour varies along with mate preference.
