The Formosan squirrel, Callosciurus erythraeus thaiwanensis, emitted different vocalizations in response to terrestrial and aerial predators and snakes. Each vocalization caused nearby individuals to adopt a different type of anti-predator behaviour. In mating bouts, males produced two types of loud calls: precopulatory calls, emitted before copulations, and postcopulatory calls, emitted after copulations. The latter continued for 17 min on average. The estrous female and other males attending the mating bouts stopped moving during the postcopulatory call, so that the calling male was able to tend the female without interruption. The sound characteristics of anti-terrestrial-predator and postcopulatory calls recorded in the captivity were compared, and none of the ten characters of duration and frequency measured differed between the two calls. Playback experiments also showed that responses to the sounds in two different contexts, escape behaviour and defensive immobility, did not differ. The similarity between anti-predator and postcopulatory calls is discussed with reference to the possibility of manipulation and other explanatory hypotheses. 相似文献

Many mammals warn conspecifics with alarm calls about detected predators. These alarm calls are either functionally referential,
urgency based, or they can have multiple functions, including predator deterrence. The taxonomic distribution of these alarm
call systems is uneven, with primates providing the best-known examples for a functionally referential system and rodents
most examples of an urgency-based system. Reports of different alarm call systems in lemurid primates prompted us to examine
the anti-predator behavior of two additional lemur species. In an experimental field study we exposed adult redfronted lemurs
(Eulemur fulvus rufus) and white sifakas (Propithecus verreauxi verreauxi) to playbacks of vocalizations of their main aerial and terrestrial predators, as well as to their own alarm calls given
in response to the presentation of these predators. We scored the subjects' immediate behavioral responses, including alarm
calls, from video recordings made during the first minute following a playback. We found that both species gave specific alarm
calls only in response to raptor playbacks and the corresponding alarm calls, whereas calls given in response to carnivores
and the corresponding alarm calls were also observed in other situations characterized by high arousal. Other behavioral responses,
such as gaze and escape directions, corresponded to the hunting strategies of the two predator classes, suggesting that the
corresponding vocalizations were categorized correctly. These two lemur species, which represent different families, have
therefore independently evolved a mixed alarm call system, characterized by functionally referential calls for diurnal raptors,
but not for carnivores. Electronic supplementary material to this paper can be obtained by using the Springer LINK server

Grouping behavior has various types of antipredator functions. Some of these functions require social transmission of information,
such as the many-eyes effect, whereas others do not, such as the dilution and confusion effects. Functions of grouping behavior
would enhance with social transmission among group members. We investigated and compared the onsets of schooling behavior
and social transmission of information in chub mackerel Scomber japonicus. Onset of schooling behavior was observed in rearing tanks by calculating the degree of parallel swimming. Onset of social
transmission was examined by using visual cues from conspecifics. A group of five individuals was put in each of three experimental
chambers from which they could see a group of conspecifics in the neighboring chamber. A weak electric stimulus was given
to one of these chambers, and information transfer among individuals was observed. We found that social transmission by visual
cues started on 30 days posthatching (25.1 mm in standard length), which was 2 weeks after the onset of schooling behavior.
The late onset of social transmission relative to schooling behavior might be attributed to different predation pressure with
development, or by underdevelopment of optic tectum, as the volume of the optic tectum did not increase just after the onset
of schooling behavior. 相似文献

Chemical and visual sources of information are used by aquatic prey during risk assessment. Here, we test the behavioral response of littoral prey fish to combinations of chemical alarm cues (skin extract) and the visual presence of a fish shoal. We scented minnow traps with either alarm cues or water (control) placed inside the trap, a jar that contained either a fish shoal or nothing (control), and recorded the number and species of fish captured. We predicted that chemical alarm cues would reduce the number of fish captured and that a fish shoal would increase the number of fish captured. The predicted effect of chemical and visual cues combined depended on the nature of the interaction. We found that the lowest catch rate was for the combination of alarm cue + no shoal, but the highest catch rate occurred for the combination of alarm cue + shoal. Fish shoal + water had the second highest catch rate and no shoal + water had the second lowest catch rate. We conclude that chemical alarm cues induce area avoidance in the absence of a shoal, but a strong behavioral proclivity to increase shoal cohesion in the presence of a shoal. The presence of a shoal in the traps induced alarmed fish to shoal with them and thus, enter the traps. This occurred even though traps were the source of the alarm cue.Communicated by A. Mathis 相似文献

The alarm system given in industrial plants are massive and complex. Under such condition, critical alarms are overwhelmed by false and unnecessary alarms and thus result in severe safety issues. To address the problem, this paper proposes a probabilistic signed digraph (PSDG) based alarm signal selection method that requires achieving maximal system reliability. In this method, a PSDG model is firstly constructed to visualize the causal relations between process variables. Then the criteria of observability and identifiability are imposed to determine the candidate alarm variables that can qualitatively distinguish all assumed faults. Instead of selecting the minimum number of combinations of candidate variables, the alarm variables are optimized by a reliability formulation that takes into account the missed alarm and false alarm probabilities of the system; this formulation is solved by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) graph. Finally, the developed methodology is illustrated using a Tennessee Eastman process. 相似文献

Innate antipredator responses of Arctic charr (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Salvelinus alpinus</Emphasis>) depend on predator species and their diet 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The ability to discriminate between more dangerous and less dangerous predators can have serious fitness advantages for fish juveniles. This is especially true for hatchery-reared fish young used for stocking, because their post-release mortality is often much higher than that of wild-born conspecifics. We tested whether two coexisting fish predators and their different diets induce innate behavioral responses in predator-naive Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) young originating from an endangered hatchery-bred population used for re-introductions. We predicted the antipredator responses of charr to be stronger towards chemical cues of brown trout (Salmo trutta) and pikeperch (Stizostedion lucioperca) than towards odorless control water. More pronounced antipredator behavior was predicted in treatments with predators fed on charr than when their diet consisted of another sympatric salmonid, European grayling (Thymallus thymallus), or when they were food-deprived. The Arctic charr young showed strong antipredator responses in all brown trout treatments, whereas odors of the less likely predator pikeperch were avoided with conspecific diet only. Freezing was the most sensitive antipredator behavior, as it was completely absent in control treatments. We found considerable individual variation in the amount and strength of antipredator responses. Although almost half of the charr failed to show antipredator behavior towards the piscivores, those with the innate ability showed highly sensitive recognition of predator odors. Our results indicate that the innate antipredator behavior of the juvenile fish is already finely tuned to respond specifically to chemical cues from different fish predators and even their diets.Communicated by J.

During the abnormal plant conditions, too much information is produced due to momentary plant excursions above alarm limits. This flood of information impedes correct interpretation and correction of plant conditions by the operator. Existing techniques for the design of alarm systems mostly have weak ability to handle complex hazard scenarios and increase the probability of larger safety issues. In this paper, a comprehensive alarm information processing (AIP) technology is introduced, called multi-round alarm management system (MRAMS), including several processing strategies: AIP based on single sensor, AIP based on sensor group, root cause diagnosis based on Bayesian network, sensor fault judgment method and false alarm inhibition method. In case studies, both simulation experiment and pilot application on a real petrochemical plant are presented. Results indicate the MRAMS is helpful in improving the accuracy of correctly diagnosing the root causes and hence avoiding false and redundant alarms. By adopting this new technology, the safe and reliable operation of the plant can be achieved, and the economic loss brought by improper alarms can be reduced. 相似文献

In the ectatommine ant Ectatomma tuberculatum, the visual appearance of queens changes after mating and ovarian development in that their cuticle turns from shiny to matte.
In this study, we have shown that this change seems to be caused by 15-fold accumulation of hydrocarbons, in particular heptacosane
that covers the multiple grooves present on the cuticular surface creating a wax coat in mated fully fertile queens. Analyses
of the scrapped wax revealed that it is composed largely of heptacosane. Peak-by-peak comparison of the cuticular hydrocarbon
(CHC) composition of mated, virgin with developed ovaries and virgin with nondeveloped ovaries revealed significant differences
between the queen groups. Although the total amount of the CHC of virgin queens with developed ovaries was not higher than
virgin queens that did not have developed ovaries, the composition showed a shift toward the mated queen. While it is possible
that the large accumulation of hydrocarbons may give extra physical and chemical protection to queens, we propose that the
switch in the relative abundance of heptacosane and nonacosane and perhaps of other components is indicative of being a mating
and fertility cue. This is the first report in social insects where external chemical changes are accompanied by changes in
visual appearance. 相似文献
