Download or read book A Study of Behavior in the Deer Mouse Peromyscus Maniculatus Rubidus Osgood During Its 24-hour Cycle of Activity in a Simulated Natural Habitat written by Cornelis Laban and published by . This book was released on 1966 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With a growing emphasis on details of behavior comes an increasing need for knowledge of natural behavior patterns. Studies on the life history of Peromyscus maniculatus have long been available in the literature. More recently, investigators have turned to analyzing the behavior of some of the subspecies of P.m. in the laboratory. Field studies using the techniques of ecological research are normally not suited to discover the behavior patterns of individual animals. The present study is an attempt to explore some methods by which life history data may be supplemented with specific information of interest to investigators conducting laboratory studies. It was the expressed objective of the writer to describe and record the voluntary activity of P.m. rubidus kept within simulated natural habitats. The study encompasses certain environmental conditions which are thought to influence behavior. Several of these features are: the ecological conditions where the mice were collected, the dimensions of the simulated natural habitats, the presence of cover and refuges, and the day-night cycle. Specific topics addressed were the distribution of the peaks of activity throughout the 24-hr cycles, the separation of activity observed into meaningful elements of behavior, the design of a method by which behavior of the deer mice might be described and quantified, and the search for behavioral patterns as indicated by changes from one specific activity to another. The deer mice were collected from a large blackberry patch and from along the Willamette River in Eugene, Oregon, as well as from a woodland near Corvallis, Oregon. The mice, in pairs, were observed in both a large and a small simulated natural habitat, the Area and the Cage, respectively. The Area was 30 feet in diameter, while the Cage measured three by three feet. The mice were kept in one of the enclosures until a complete 24-hr cycle of observation had been finished. This normally took five days. P. m. rubidus is nocturnal, and the method of illumination used during this study is discussed. Definite and periodic fluctuations in the levels of activity were found. Forty distinct activities, elements of behavior, were found to be sufficient for describing the observed behavior. It should be noted that only spontaneous activities were recorded and that no attempt was made to observe behavior taking place in the nests. From this study the writer feels that it is possible to fully describe and record the spontaneous behavior of these mice when observed under simulated natural conditions. Through this record a method has been developed by which behavior can be reconstructed or compared between individuals of P. m. rubidus studied under similar conditions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to communicate, animals send and receive signals that are subject to their particular anatomical, psychological, and environmental constraints. This SHAR volume discusses both the production and perception of acoustic signals. Chapters address the information that animals communicate, how the communication is developed and learned, and how communication systems have adapted and evolved within species. The book will give examples from a variety of species.

Download or read book Neuroendocrine Regulation of Animal Vocalization written by Cheryl S. Rosenfeld and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2020-12-04 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neuroendocrine Regulation of Animal Vocalization: Mechanisms and Anthropogenic Factors in Animal Communication examines the underpinning neuroendocrine (NE) mechanisms that drive animal communication across taxa. Written by international subject experts, the book focuses on the importance of animal communication in survival and reproduction at an individual and species level, and the impact that increased production and accumulation of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) can have on these regulatory processes. This book discusses sound production, perception, processing, and response across a range of animals. This includes insects, fish, bats, birds, nonhuman primates, infant humans, and many others. Some chapters analyze how neuroactive substances, endocrine control, and chemical pollution affect the physiology of the animal’s perceptive and sound-producing organs, as well as their auditory and vocal receptors and pathways. Other chapters address the recent approaches governments have taken to protect against the endocrine disruption of animal (vocal) behaviors. The book is a valuable resource for researchers and advanced students seeking first-rate material on neuroendocrinological effects on animal behavior and communication. Serves as the most comprehensive cross-taxa study of its kind, revolutionary in its focus on the impacts of EDCs on the processes guiding animal communication Emphasizes the importance of production, perception and processing of acoustic vocalization for survival Analyzes recent governmental policies and protections against the effects of EDCs on humans and wildlife

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Handbook of Ultrasonic Vocalization: Window into the Mammalian Brain, Volume 25, is an exhaustive resource on ultrasonic vocalizations in vertebrates, providing full coverage of all aspects of these vocalizations. The book also demonstrates the usefulness of ultrasonic vocalizations in studies of animal communication, sociobiological states, and in mammalian models of affective disorders, addictions and neurodevelopmental disorders, making it an indispensable resource for researchers using animal models. The book begins with the evolution of vocal communication before discussing mechanisms of ultrasound production, perception and the brain systems involved in emotional arousal that are responsible for the generation of vocalization and emotional states. In addition, the book covers studies of neuroactive agents and sociopsychological conditions that can regulate the outcome of ultrasonic vocalization and provide clues about animals’ internal states. Critically, the book also includes thorough coverage of pharmacological investigations using ultrasonic vocalizations, increasingly being utilized for studies in affective disorders, psychoses, addiction and alcoholism. No other book provides such extensive coverage of this rapidly growing field of study. Represents a multidisciplinary approach that incorporates evolution, communication, behavioral homeostasis, emotional expression and neuropsychiatric dysfunction Provides a systematic review of ultrasonic vocalizations in major groups of rodents widely used in laboratory research Discusses numerous other species across vertebrates that emit ultrasounds

Download or read book Clinical Aspects of Hearing written by Thomas R. VanDeWater and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Springer Handbook of Auditory Research presents a series of com prehensive and synthetic reviews of the fundamental topics in modem auditory research. It is aimed at all individuals with interests in hearing research including advanced graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and clinical investigators. The volumes will introduce new investigators to important aspects of hearing science and will help established investigators to better understand the fundamental theories and data in fields of hearing that they may not normally follow closely. Each volume is intended to present a particular topic comprehensively, and each chapter will serve as a synthetic overview and guide to the literature. As such, the chapters present neither exhaustive data reviews nor original research that has not yet appeared in peer-reviewed journals. The series focuses on topics that have developed a solid data and conceptual foundation rather than on those for which a literature is only beginning to develop. New research areas will be covered on a timely basis in the series as they begin to mature. Each volume in the series consists of five to eight substantial chapters on a particular topic. In some cases, the topics will be ones of traditional interest for which there is a solid body of data and theory, such as auditory neuroanatomy (Vol. 1) and neurophysiology (Vol. 2). Other volumes in the series will deal with topics which have begun to mature more recently, such as development, plasticity, and computational models of neural processing.
