Cross-Modal Projections from Auditory to Visual Cortices in the Ferret
… in multisensory processing in these lower-level, core areas of cortex. The present study was conducted to determine if similar connections occur in other higher mammals such as carnivores (ferrets; Mustela putorius). Large injections of sensitive neuroanatomical tracer were placed within the core …

Aspects of American Bittern Ecology in Northwest Minnesota
… from May through August, 1996-97. Seasonal core-areas and low-use areas were determined from 18 males and 2 females. Male breeding home-ranges averaged 210 ha (n = 22) and did not differ (P > 0.05) from average post-breeding home-range size (152 ha, n = 16). Distances of male post-breeding …

Seasonal Use of Conservation Reserve Program Fields By White-Tailed Deer in Eastern South Dakota
… 15 September 1989 to 31 December 1990. Seasonal core areas and low use areas were determined from 40 home range maps of 14 radio-collared deer. Proportion of CRP lands within core areas of deer did not differ (P > 0. 05) from that in low use areas during each season. Pooled habitat availability …

Tactical behaviour and decision making in wild chimpanzees
… and the majority of time was spent within small core areas which were both partially overlapping and distinct. Each male?s core area had a similar habitat composition, and overlap between core areas was positively related to dyadic association tendencies. It is hypothesised that these core areas …
