Grooming as an Agonistic Behavior in Garnett’s Small-Eared Bushbaby (<i>Otolemur garnettii</i>)
<p>Social behaviors are a necessary component of group living and interactions between organisms. To correctly assess social interactions, researchers must be able to observe behaviors and interpret their function based on the behavior or the behavioral context. In primate species, grooming is …

Characterization Of Neuronal Groups Regulating Sexual And Agonistic Behavior In Male Chicken (Gallus Gallus)
… the neuronal regulation of male sexual and agonistic behavior in broiler breeders. First, brain structures associated with sexual and agonistic behavior were identified by mapping Fos expression. The ventromedial subnucleus of medial portion of bed nucleus of the stria teriminalis (BSTM2) …

Intraspecific and Interspecific Agonistic Behavior in Chipmunks, TAMIAS MERRIAMI, T. OBSCURUS, and T. SPECIOSUS (Rodentia: Sciuridae)
<p>Agonistic behavior in three species of chipmunks, Tamias merriami, T. obscurus, and T. speciosus, was compared at seven locations in the San Bernardino and San Jacinto Mountains of southern California. The study was conducted during the post-breeding periods in the summers of 1983 and 1984. …

Agonistic behavior, the development of the social hierarchy and stress in genetically diverse flocks of chickens
The agonistic behavior and development of the social hierarchy of juvenile pullets were studied in two lines of chickens which had been divergently selected for juvenile body weight and in which the dwarf gene (dw) was segregating. Correlations between the behavioral measurements and physiological …

Agonistic behavior of <i>Peromyscus leucopus</i> and <i>Microtus pennsylvanicus</i>: implications for population distribution and dynamics
… were conducted to determine the nature of behavioral interactions within and between groups of <em>Peromyscus leucopus</em> and <em>Microtus pennsylvanicus</em>. The effects that the intra- interspecific aggressive interactions might have on reproduction, movement and mortality for each …

Patterns of intraspecific and intergeneric agonistic behavior in the male and female Mongolian gerbil (<i>Meriones unguiculatus</i>)
<p>Although the agonistic patterns of behavior of the adult male gerbil (<i>Meriones unguiculatus</i>) have been examined in previous work, the behavior of the female gerbil has not been given careful examination. Understood to an even lesser extent is the plasticity of the agonistic response in …

The Agonistic and Reproductive Behaviors of the Gulf Killifish, Fundulus grandis and Their Physiological Components.
The behavioral repertoire of Fundulus grandis includes 32 acts, 5 of which are found only in the male. The acts are described and categorized by function.Male-male and male-female pairs were observed for agonistic and reproductive behaviors, diel rhythms of behavior, endogenous hormone levels …

Identificação dos núcleos pré-familiares em Mocó (Kerodon rupestris): citoarquitetura e imunoistoquímica para NOS
… to the circuit that control defensive and agonistic behavior. In rodents, as rat and mouse, the PMV is a dropshaped compact group of neurons in a rostral level, but is rounded in a caudal level. The PMD is caudal and dorsal to the PMV and has a rectangular shape in a rostral level, being …

Factors Affecting the Distribution and Abundance of Microtus Ochrogaster and M. Pennsylvanicus in East-Central Illinois (Competition, Agonistic)
… habitat, showed a strong habitat effect on the agonistic behavior of the two species. M. pennsylvanicus females tended to dominate both sexes of M. ochrogaster in dense vegetation, whereas male M. ochrogaster tended to dominate both sexes of M. pennsylvanicus in sparse vegetation. It is …

An Examination of Aggressive Behavior in Indo-Pacific Bottlenose Dolphins (<i>Tursiops Aduncus</i>)
<p>Agonistic behavior is often observed in animal groups in which individuals have long-term relationships. Although bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops sp.) are known to behave aggressively, relatively little is known about such behavior among wild animals. Much of the data on delphiilid aggression …
