... Caudomedial nidopallium Motor Behavior Plasticity Stability In temperate songbirds, often only the male sings, either exclusively or predominantly, and the presence of the song system across species in females is proportional to the degree that they learn and produce songs [Brenowitz et al., 1985...

...Adriana Migliaro; Ana Silva Timing is crucial for social interactions. Animal behavior is synchronized with biotic and abiotic environment variables ensuring that the activity phase of conspecifics occurs during the same period of the day. As biological rhythms are embedded in the complex...

... examining patterns of behavior, biochemical agents (toxins) that facilitate prey capture and the combinations of toxins present in extant species. The first sections introduce three different hunting behaviors associated with piscivory: ‘taser-and-tether', ‘net-engulfment' and ‘strike-and-stalk'. The first...

...Adam K. Dewan; Timothy C. Tricas Detailed neuroanatomical studies of model species are necessary to facilitate comparative experiments which test hypotheses relevant to brain evolution and function. Butterflyfishes (Chaetodontidae) boast numerous sympatric species that differ in social behavior...

... that Dmd creates the ‘fear' necessary for defense/escape and avoidance behaviors and controls several components of species-typical sexual and aggressive behavior (responsiveness, behavioral sequencing, and aspects of social cognition). While the functional results generally support the anatomical evidence...

... to facilitate a greater need for information storage. However, not all insects with large brains are generalists; for example, some heliconid butterflies are extremely specialized upon a single plant species [Sivinski, 1989]. What behavior might these butterflies have in common with other species with large...

... in cephalopods and in the lower and intermediate medulla in teleosts. In both groups, higher level control relates to areas involved in sensorimotor integration and mediation of agonistic, sexual, and, perhaps, other types of behavior: the peduncle and optic lobes in cephalopods and the hypothalamus, tegmentum...

...Alexander A. Pollen; Hans A. Hofmann The study of the evolution of brain structure and function, although fascinating, has been contentious, largely due to the correlative nature of neuroanatomical comparisons and the often ill-defined categorizations of habitat and behavior. We outline four...

...Caroly A. Shumway More complex brains and behaviors have arisen repeatedly throughout both vertebrate and invertebrate evolution. The challenge is to tease apart the forces underlying such change. In this review, I show how habitat complexity influences both brain and behavior in African cichlid...
