Behavioural evidence for the perception of individual identity and gender via the echolocation calls of a high duty cycle bat, Rhinolophus clivosus
… Prior to the analysis of the experiment an ethogram was done on three groups of captive R. clivosus bats. This ethogram was used to categorize the behavioural responses of these bats to the acoustic stimuli in the experiments. The reactions to the habituation-dishabituation experiments show …

Behavioral Analysis of a Digenetic Trematode Cercaria (Microphallus Turgidus) in Relation to The Microhabitat of Grass Shrimp (Palaemonetes Spp.)
… host. To do so, I established a behavioral ethogram for the cercariae of M. turgidus and compared the behavior of these parasites to the known host behavior. I tested the phototactic, geotactic, and chemical responses of the parasite. When M. turgidus cercariae are placed in a half covered …

Male Reproductive Strategies And Mating Displays In The Ocellated Turkey (Meleagris Ocellata)
… system. The first objective is to create an ethogram of Ocellated Turkey mating behavior to facilitate comparisons between studies and with its well-studied congener, the Wild Turkey (Meleagris gallopavo). The second goal is to use behavioral data, along with measures of individual condition, …

Enrichment Assessment for Geriatric African Old World Monkeys under Human Care
… behavior occurrences and durations from an ethogram. I used the ethogram to record locomotion and social interactions that occurred in the presence of provided enrichment. My study showed that my study subjects performed different behaviors during the zoo staff’s use of different enrichment …

Play in Immature Tibetan Macaques (<i>Macaca thibetana</i>): Location, Use of Play Signals, and Play Bout Termination at Mt. Huangshan, China
… to score play behaviors and play signals with an ethogram. I hypothesized that play groups would use play signals in functionally appropriate ways based on the location of the play bout, the number of audience members in proximity to the players, and play bout length. In the 283 playful …

Effects of Different Housing Configurations on Captive Chimpanzee (<i>Pan troglodytes</i>) Behavior in Holding Area During Construction
… method to record behaviors from an adapted ethogram. I hypothesized that the Oregon Zoo chimpanzees would behave differently depending on which chimpanzee they were housed with. I predicted that the chimpanzees would be housed with one chimpanzee more than the remaining two in the group …

The Effects of Olfactory Stimuli on the Behavior of the Far Eastern/Amur Leopard (<i>Panthera pardus orientalis</i>) in Captivity
… around their enclosure and scored using an ethogram, and proportions of behaviors shown were calculated for each day, and by 15-minute increments throughout the day. Over the course of this study, leopards received three olfactory stimuli on separate occasions, where we then compared …

Comparison of Chimpanzee (Pan Troglodytes) Behavior on Tour and Non-Tour Days at Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest
… focal animal sampling to score behaviors from an ethogram of affiliative, aggressive and abnormal chimpanzee behaviors, as well as foraging and vigilance. During each sample, I recorded the focal’s location within the enclosure and whether he or she was situated in locations that would be in view …

Behavior and communication in the short bare-tailed opossum (Monodelphis domestica)
… compared in 124 encounters of 30 min each. An ethogram was developed containing 74 behaviors which sorted into 9 major behavioral categories: grooming and resting, exploration, attention, scent marking, vocalizations, social contact, aggression, retreat, and sexual. Solitary <u>Monodelphis</u> …

Considering behaviour in genetic sampling – a case study with grey seals
… in the same grey seals were observed using an ethogram. There were consistent differences between individuals in their use of haul-out zones at the rescue centre. This may indicate behavioural variation could be interesting to capture and shouldn’t be overlooked when designing sampling …

Ontogeny of Venom Use and Venom Composition in the Western Widow Spider Latrodectus Hesperus
… adult size. In the third study, I developed an ethogram of the prey capture sequence of adult females feeding on crickets (Acheta domesticus) approximately 1.5 times their size. I identified 21 behaviors exhibited during three major phases: detection, immobilization, and prey manipulation. …
