Book Synopsis Survival and Reproductive Success of Inbred and Non-inbred Prairie Voles (microtus Ochrogaster) Under Captive and Semi-natural Conditions by : Kathryn Lynn Williams
Download or read book Survival and Reproductive Success of Inbred and Non-inbred Prairie Voles (microtus Ochrogaster) Under Captive and Semi-natural Conditions written by Kathryn Lynn Williams and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inbreeding's harmful consequences have been well documented under artificial conditions; however, studies under natural conditions are limited. I examined the effects of inbreeding on the fitness of prairie voles (Microtus ochrogaster) in captivity and the field. In captivity, sibling and non-sibling pairs did not differ with regard to time to the first litter, litter size, or offspring weight. Another laboratory experiment examined these same variables in the following un-related pairs: non-inbred female/ male, inbred female/ male, non-inbred female/ inbred male, and inbred female/ non-inbred male. The only significant result was that the weaning weight of offspring born to non-inbred pairs was greater than offspring born to non-inbred female/ inbred male pairs. There also was no significant difference in the survival and reproduction of unrelated inbred and non-inbred voles released into semi-natural enclosures. This study did not find any evidence that inbred adults have lower fitness than non-inbred adults.

This book was released on 2012-10-01 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The disruption of mother-infant interactions can have life-long detrimental consequences for offspring and mothers. This topic of Frontiers will focus on maternal-infant interactions including factors that may affect or alter infant or child development and maternal response capability in clinical and preclinical (animal) populations. Articles may highlight topics such as drug abuse, maternal neglect, altered reward systems, stress, biological and neural system development, child and infant behavioral development, genetics/epigenetics and intergenerational studies. Submissions can include research methods papers, reviews, original research articles, techniques and opinion articles that address the topics of interest. This Research Topic will highlight translational research including common measures and results found in both animal and human studies. Please contact one of the Editors for submission proposals or for additional information.
Book Synopsis Substitute Parents by : Gillian Bentley
Download or read book Substitute Parents written by Gillian Bentley and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2012 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From a comparative perspective, human life histories are unique and raising offspring is unusually costly: humans have relatively short birth intervals compared to other apes, childhood is long, mothers care simultaneously for many dependent children (other apes raise one offspring at a time), infant mortality is high in natural fertility/mortality populations, and human females have a long post-reproductive lifespan. These features conspire to make child raising very burdensome. Mothers frequently defray these costs with paternal help (not usual in other ape species), although this contribution is not always enough. Grandmothers, elder siblings, paid allocarers, or society as a whole, help to defray the costs of childcare, both in our evolutionary past and now. Studying offspring care in a various human societies, and other mammalian species, a wide range of specialists such as anthropologists, psychologists, animal behaviorists, evolutionary ecologists, economists and sociologists, have contributed to this volume, offering new insights into and a better understanding of one of the key areas of human society.

This book brings together new theory and empirical work, mostly in vertebrates, to test assumptions and predictions of skew models.
Download or read book Animal Behavior written by Ken Yasukawa and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2014-01-22 with total page 1165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover why animals do what they do, based on their genes, physiologies, cultures, traditions, survival and mating advantages, and evolutionary histories—and find out how studying behavior in the animal world helps us understand human behavior. The three volumes of Animal Behavior: How and Why Animals Do the Things They Do cover the breadth of the field, addressing causation, development, function, and evolution in a wide range of animals, from invertebrates to humans. Inspired by Nobel laureate Nikolaas Tinbergen's work, the first two volumes follow Tinbergen's four classic questions of animal behavior, while the third volume supplies integrated examples of Tinbergen's investigative process applied in specific cases. Written in an engaging, accessible manner ideal for college students as well as general audiences, this evidence-based collection provides a fascinating tour of animal behaviorists' findings, such as how animal communication can be truthful or deceitful, the deadly serious business behind clashes in the "battle of the sexes," and how documentation of animal behavior can lead to a deeper understanding of human behavior. Each chapter provides both historical background and information about current developments in animal behavior knowledge.

Book Synopsis Mammalian Dispersal Patterns by : B. Diane Chepko-Sade
Download or read book Mammalian Dispersal Patterns written by B. Diane Chepko-Sade and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1987 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mammalian Dispersal Patterns examines the ways that social structure affects population genetics and, in turn, rates of evolution, in mammalian groups. It brings together fieldwork in animal behavior and wildlife biology with theoretical work in demography and population genetics. The focus here is dispersal—whether, how, and when individuals leave the areas where they are born. Theoretical work in population genetics indicates that such social factors as skewed sex ratios, restrictive mating patterns, and delayed age of first reproduction will lower the reproductive variability of a population by reducing the number of genotypes passed from one generation to the next. Field studies have shown that many mammalian species do exhibit many such social characteristics. Among horses, elephant seals, and a number of primates, the majority of females are inseminated by only a fraction of the males. In pacts of wolves and mongooses, usually only the highest-ranking male and female breed in a given season. Although socially restricted mating tends to lower genetic variability in isolated populations, it actually tends to increase genetic variability in subdivided populations with low rates of migration between subunits. Among some species there is little dispersal and thus little gene flow between subpopulations; other species travel far afield before mating. The contributors to this volume examine actual data from populations of mammals, the way patterns of dispersal correlate with the genetic structure of individuals and populations, and mathematical models of population structure. This interdisciplinary approach has an important bearing on work in conservation of both wildlife and zoo populations, for it shows that the home range and the population size needed to maintain genetic variability can differ greatly from one species to the next. The volume also offers a fruitful model for future research.
