Fig. 4 in Silk Spinning Behavior Varies from Species-Specific to Individualistic in Embioptera: Do Environmental Correlates Account for this Diversity?

Fig. 4. Computation of similarity between two sequences. For two individuals of Aposthonia borneensis (Hagen) (Oligotomidae), the first 500 steps of their spin sequences are shown (A and B).The red bar underlining a short sequence indicates one 15-step subsequence that is highly similar between these two individuals. For all possible pairs of 15 step subsequences, the heatmap displays the sequence similarity (C), with red areas indicating regions of the spin sequence that are highly similar.The profiles on the margins of the heat map indicate the marginal maxima—that is, for each 15-step subsequence, what is the similarity to the most similar subsequence in the other individual. Portions of the sequence with similarities about 12 were deemed sufficiently similar to the other sequence (vertical or horizontal lines), amounting to about 5% of individual 1's sequence and 10% of individual 2's sequence.

Environmental and behavioral sensor data to identify heat stress in dairy cows

Heat stress impairs the health and performance of dairy cows, yet only a few studies have investigated the diversity of cattle behavioral responses to heat waves. This research was conducted on an Italian Holstein dairy farm equipped with precision livestock farming sensors to assess potential different behavioral patterns of the animals. Three heat waves, defined as at least five consecutive days with mean daily temperature-humidity index higher than 72, were recorded in the farm area during the summer of 2021. Individual daily milk yield data of 102 cows were used to identify ‘heat-sensitive’ animals, meaning the cows that, under a given heat wave, experienced a milk yield drop that was not linked with other health events (e.g., mastitis). Milk yield drops were detected as perturbations of the lactation curve estimated by iteratively using Wood’s equation. Individual daily minutes of lying, chewing, and activity were retrieved from ear-tag-based accelerometer sensors. Semi-parametric generalized estimating equations models were used to assess behavioral deviations of heat-sensitive cows from the herd means under heat stress conditions. Heat waves were associated with an overall increase in the herd’s chewing and activity times, along with an overall decrease of lying time. Heat-sensitive cows spent approximately 15 min/d more chewing and performing activities (p < 0.05). The findings of this research suggest that the information provided by high-frequency sensor data could assist farmers in identifying cows for which personalized interventions to alleviate heat stress are needed.

Environmental, sex-specific, and genetic determinants of infant social behavior in a wild primate

Affiliative social bonds are linked to fitness components in many social mammals. However, despite their importance, little is known about how the tendency to form social bonds develops in young animals, or if the timing of development is heritable and thus can evolve. Using four decades of longitudinal observational data from a wild baboon population, we assessed the environmental determinants of an important social developmental milestone in baboons—the age at which a young animal first grooms a conspecific—and we assessed how the rates at which offspring groom their mothers develops during the juvenile period. We found that grooming development differs between the sexes: female infants groom at an earlier age and reach equal rates of grooming with their mother earlier than males. We also found that age at first grooming for both sexes is weakly heritable (h2 = 0.043, 95% CI: 0.002 – 0.110). These results show that sex differences in grooming emerge at a young age; that strong, equitable social relationships between mothers and daughters begin very early in life; and that age at first grooming is heritable and therefore can be shaped by natural selection.

Fijian sea krait behavior relates to fine‐scale environmental heterogeneity in old‐growth coastal forest: The importance of integrated land–sea management for protecting amphibious animals

Here the data for "Fijian sea krait behaviour relates to fine-scale environmental heterogeneity in old growth forest: the importance of integrated land-sea management for protecting amphibious animals" by Lowe, C., Keppel, G., Waqa, K., Peters, S., Fisher, R.N., Scanlon, A., Osborne-Naikatini, T, and Thomas-Moko, N is provided. This article investigates the habitat of Yellow Lipped Sea Kraits, Laticauda colubrina, in the terrestrial realm on Leluvia Island, a small, topographically flat atoll in Fiji with coastal forest. The investigation uses concurrent microclimate measurements and behaviour surveys, as well as vegetation surveys, and the data collected for these analyses are provided here. Microclimates were significantly related to canopy cover, leaf litter depth, and distance from the high-water mark (HWM). Sea kraits were almost exclusively observed in coastal forest within 30 m of the HWM. Sloughing of skins only occurred within crevices of mature or dying trees. Resting L. colubrina were significantly more likely to occur at locations with higher mean diurnal temperatures, lower leaf litter depths, and shorter distances from the HWM. On Leleuvia, behaviour of L. colubrina therefore relates to environmental heterogeneity created by old-growth coastal forests, particularly canopy cover and crevices in mature and dead tree trunks. The importance of healthy coastal habitats, both terrestrial and marine, for L. colubrina suggests it could be a good flagship species for advocating integrated land-sea management. Furthermore, our study highlights the importance of coastal forests and topographically flat atolls for biodiversity conservation. Effective conservation management of amphibious species that utilise land- and seascapes is therefore likely to require a holistic approach that incorporates connectivity among ecosystems and environmental heterogeneity at all relevant scales.

Behavior and brain size of larval zebrafish exposed to environmentally relevant concentrations of betamethylamino- L-alanine (BMAA)

Harmful algal blooms (HABs) release toxic compounds in water and are increasing in frequency worldwide. The neurotoxin β-methylamino-L-alanine (BMAA) is released by HABs and has garnered much attention over the past twenty years due to its association with human neurodegenerative disorders, but its effects on wildlife are still largely unknown. This study characterized the effects of chronic exposure to environmentally relevant concentrations of BMAA on the behavior and brain size of developing zebrafish (Danio rerio). Zebrafish were continuously exposed to 0, 1, 10, or 100 μg/L waterborne BMAA between 0- and 5-days post-fertilization (dpf) before the onset of exogenous feeding. At 5 dpf, locomotion and responses to vibrational and visual stimuli were assessed. Following behavioral testing, larvae body and brain size were measured. Survival between 0 and 5 dpf did not differ between treatments. Moreover, BMAA exposure did not affect thigmotaxis, startle response magnitude, habituation to repeated presentation of vibrational startling stimuli, or relative brain size. A moderate increase in overall activity was observed in larvae exposed to 10 ug/L BMAA under light, but this effect was not seen in dark conditions, indicating that visual processing may have been affected by chronic BMAA exposure. Thus, our results show that passive continuous exposure to environmentally relevant concentrations of BMAA prior to first feeding in zebrafish does not affect overall brain development, locomotion, anxiety, and motor neuron-mediated reflexes, but suggest targeted neurotoxicity within the visual system.
