Journal Article International Journal of Primatology · January 1, 1998 Aye-ayes (Daubentonia madagascariensis) use the thin middle finger to tap on wood in search of subsurface cavities containing insect larvae. When a cavity is located, they gnaw away wood until the prey can be extracted. Previous researchers suggested that ... Full text Cite

Sociopathy and sociobiology: Biological units and behavioral units

Journal Article Behavioral and Brain Sciences · January 1, 1995 Behavioral biologists have long sought to link behavioral units (e.g., aggression, depression, sociopathy) with biological units (e.g., genes, neurotransmitters, hormones, neuroanatomical loci). These units, originally contrived for descriptive purposes, o ... Cite

Tap-scanning and extractive foraging in aye-ayes, Daubentonia madagascariensis.

Journal Article Folia primatologica; international journal of primatology · January 1994 The trees on which aye-ayes forage contain complex communities of organisms. Aye-ayes appear to use tap-scanning behaviour, in combination with complex perceptual and inferential capabilities, to exploit these communities as a source of food. In doing so, ... Full text Cite

Percussive foraging in the aye-aye, Daubentonia madagascariensis

Journal Article Animal Behaviour · January 1, 1991 A series of studies is described in which some of the sensory and motor capabilities used by the aye-aye, Daubentonia madagascariensis, in foraging for insect larvae are delineated. Although visual and olfactory cues may be of some aid, they are not necess ... Full text Cite

Social aspects of the termination of incubation behaviour in the ring dove (Streptopelia risoria)

Journal Article Animal Behaviour · January 1, 1982 The role of male and female ring doves (Streptopelia risoria) in the termination of incubation behaviour was studied first by observing heterosexual pairs (male and female) and homosexual pairs (female and female) (experiment 1). Male/female pairs incubate ... Full text Cite

Proximity between the sexes in ring doves: Social bonds or surveillance?

Journal Article Animal Behaviour · January 1, 1982 Most bird species are monogamous, and in many instances the male provides a substantial contribution to the care of the young. Traditionally, the initial phase of the relationship between the sexes has been characterized in terms of pair formation and an i ... Full text Cite

Journal Article Science (New York, N.Y.) · June 1976 Male ring doves exhibit less courtship and more aggressive behavior toward females that have recently associated with other males than to females that have been isolated. The difference in response may be related to the differing probability of cuckoldry. ... Full text Cite
