Research to date has largely been unclear about whether a single perpetrator is sufficient to instigate the well‐documented negative consequences of workplace incivility. In the current research, we examine the extent to which perceived belongingness and embarrassment mediate the relationship between incivility from a single perpetrator and two important outcomes (job insecurity and somatic symptoms), and the extent to which the perpetrator's power moderates these relationships. Across two studies using different methods, we find that incidents of single perpetrator incivility are associated with target feelings of isolation and embarrassment, which in turn relate to targets' perceived job insecurity and somatic symptoms (Studies 1 and 2) both the same day and three days later (Study 2). Moreover, we find that perpetrator power moderates the relationship between incivility and embarrassment, such that targets are more embarrassed when the perpetrator is powerful. Implications for theory and practice are discussed. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

Interactions between foragers may seriously affect individual foraging efficiency. In a laboratory study of handling time,
prey value and prey-size preference in northern pike and signal crayfish, we show that risk of intraspecific interactions
between predators does not affect handling time or value of prey. However, the presence of agonistic intraspecific interactors
shifts prey-size preference in these predators. Neither northern pike nor signal crayfish foraging alone show a prey-size
preference, while pike foraging among conspecifics prefer small prey, and crayfish foraging in groups prefer large prey. We
ascribe the different outcomes in prey preference to differences in susceptibility to interactions: northern pike under risk
avoid large prey to avoid long handling times and the associated risk of interactions, while signal crayfish foraging among
conspecifics may defend themselves and their prey during handling, and thus select prey to maximise investment. In addition,
the value of pike prey (roach) is low for very small prey, maximises for small prey, and then decreases monotonically for
larger prey, while crayfish prey (pond snail) value is low for very small prey, has a maximum at small prey, but does not
decrease as much for larger prey. Therefore, a large and easily detected snail prey provides a crayfish with as much value
as a small prey. We conclude that interaction risk and predator density affect prey-size preference differently in these aquatic
predators, and therefore has different potential effects on prey-size structure and population and community dynamics.

The study of intraspecific variation can provide insights into the evolution and maintenance of behavior. To evaluate the relative importance of ecological, demographic and social conditions thought to favor lekking, I studied variation in mating behavior among and within populations of the blackbuck, Antilope cervicapra, an Indian antelope. Rather than viewing lekking as a discrete mating strategy, I took a continuous approach and treated lekking as a question of the clustering of mating territories, with leks representing one extreme in a range of territory distributions. I surveyed nine blackbuck populations, which differed in population density and in habitat conditions. For each population, I described the mating system in terms of the clustering of mating territories, and measured various factors suggested to favor lekking. I found that large-scale, among-population variation in territory clustering was most strongly related to female group size. Territory clustering was not related to population density. Female group size, in turn, was best explained by habitat structure. Interestingly, these among-population patterns were repeated at a finer spatial scale within one intensively studied population. These findings suggest that territorial males respond to local patterns in female distribution (represented by group size) when making decisions regarding territory location. Finally, although female distribution may explain territory clustering at the population level and more locally within a population, other selective factors (e.g., female preference, male competition, male harassment) are likely to shape the clustering and size of territories at even finer scales.Electronic Supplementary Material Supplementary material is available in the online version of this article at .Communicated by T.

We investigated the benefits of larval cannibalism in the Neotropical mosquito Trichoprosopon digitatum. The clutch size of the mosquito in the field was strongly correlated with adult female size, indicating a fitness advantage
to being large. In controlled laboratory experiments, we compared the survivorship and eventual adult sizes of larvae that
were given the opportunity to cannibalise conspecifics throughout their lifetimes with the survivorship and adult sizes of
larvae that were prevented from cannibalising. Since the benefits of cannibalism are likely to depend on the context in which
it occurs, the experiment was conducted at two levels of alternative food availability. When food availability was high most
larvae survived to adulthood, females cannibalised more than males and there was no measurable advantage to cannibalism in
terms of survival rate, emergence time or adult size. Larvae were significantly more cannibalistic when food availability
was lower, although under these conditions no larvae survived to adulthood. Nevertheless, under low food an important fitness
benefit to cannibalism was revealed: individuals which had the opportunity to cannibalise survived significantly longer as
larvae than those which did not. This increased longevity is likely to provide an important advantage to mosquito larvae when
they wait for the input of unpredictable food sources.

Sperm competition can be a powerful selective force in the evolution of reproductive strategies and mating systems. In studies on sperm competition, patterns of sperm use are typically reported as the mean species value of P
2, determined as the proportion of offspring sired by the second male to copulate with a doubly mated female. However, the within-species variance in P
2 has mostly been ignored, although taking this variance into account may be crucial for understanding the underlying mechanisms of sperm competition. Paternity analysis among the offspring of doubly mated females of Panorpa germanica (Mecoptera, Panorpidae) revealed a relationship between relative copulation durations of both males and the proportion of offspring each male will sire. This correlation between proportional copulation durations and paternity suggests mixing of sperm from different males inside the female’s spermatheca. Yet, sperm mixing appears to be incomplete, as paternity was overall slightly shifted towards the second male on average fathering a higher proportion of the offspring than its relative copulation duration would predict in case of complete sperm mixing. For individual males, however, the outcome of sperm competition is rather unpredictable as the intraspecific variance in P
2 was found to be very high, irrespective of copulation durations. Possible causes of the observed variance in P
2 and the partial last male sperm precedence are discussed. 相似文献

Summary The three age-sex classes of rufous hummingbirds (Selasphorus rufus) that directly interact on southward migratory stopovers in our California study system differ in territorial ability and resource use. Immature males are behaviorally dominant to adult and immature females and defend the richest territories. Here, we test the hypothesis that the territorially subordinate age-sex classes compensate exploitatively for their exclusion from rich resources. Our results show that females were able to accumulate energy stores at rates comparable to males despite their subordinate territorial status. Territorial females gained body mass at the same rate and in the same pattern as males, and resumed migration at the same body masses. Moreover, during periods when birds were nonterritorial and used dispersed resources, adult and immature females maintained or gained body mass, whereas immature males lost mass. We suggest that females may be energetically compensated by (1) lower costs of flight incurred during foraging and defense, resulting from their lower wing disc loading, and (2) greater success at robbing nectar from rich male territories, resulting from duller coloration (immature females), experience (adult females), and, possibly, hormonal differences. In the future, experiments will be necessary to distinguish the various hypotheses about the mechanisms involved in compensation.

Summary 2-methyl-1,4-benzoquinone as a target compound of the tergal gland secretion of the rove beetle,Aleochara curtula, was quantified from the reservoirs of individual beetles. Males store less secretion than females, and they evaporate more of the secretion as measured by adsorption from the air (closed-loop-stripping-analysis). The amount of emitted quinone is increased during aggressive interactions of rival males. The pulsed emission of the secretion during aggression is demonstrated by a novel technique combining observation of behavior with the on-line measurement of target fragment ions by mass-spectrometry (tandem bioassay — mass fragmentography). The emission of the secretion is used as a weapon in combats between males and may result in the repulsion of subordinate males from the mating site, but may also serve to mimic females chemically in order to avoid aggressive encounters. 相似文献

The aim of this article is to conceptually delineate moral anger from other related constructs. Drawing upon social functional accounts of anger, we contend that distilling the finer nuances of morally motivated anger and its expression can increase the precision with which we examine prosocial forms of anger (e.g., redressing injustice), in general, and moral anger, in particular. Without this differentiation, we assert that (i) moral anger remains theoretically elusive, (ii) that this thwarts our ability to methodologically capture the unique variance moral anger can explain in important work outcomes, and that (iii) this can promote ill‐informed organizational policies and practice. We offer a four‐factor definition of moral anger and demonstrate the utility of this characterization as a distinct construct with application for workplace phenomena such as, but not limited to, whistle‐blowing. Next, we outline a future research agenda, including how to operationalize the construct and address issues of construct, discriminant, and convergent validity. Finally, we argue for greater appreciation of anger's prosocial functions and concomitant understanding that many anger displays can be justified and lack harmful intent. If allowed and addressed with interest and concern, these emotional displays can lead to improved organizational practice. © 2015 The Authors Journal of Organizational Behavior Published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd. 相似文献

Sperm number is often a good predictor of success in sperm competition; however, it has become increasingly clear that, for
some species, variation in probability of paternity cannot be explained by sperm number alone. Intraspecific variation in
ejaculate characteristics, such as the number of viable sperm and sperm longevity, may play an equally important role in determining
fertilization success. Here, we assess variation among ejaculates in three factors that may contribute to fertilization success
(number of sperm per ejaculate, viability, and longevity), in a population of Peron’s tree frog (Litoria peronii). We detected large variation among males in the number of sperm per ejaculate and the proportion of viable sperm within
ejaculates, which could not be explained by variation in either male size or body condition. However, the proportion of viable
sperm released by males increased over the season. Finally, we assessed sperm longevity (proportion viable sperm determined
using a dual-fluorochrome vital dye) at two different temperatures. At 23°C, on average, 75% of sperm remained viable after
2 h, but there were significant differences amongst males with the percentage of viable sperm ranging from 43% to 95%. For
sperm incubated at 4°C, ejaculates varied fivefold in sperm longevity with some males having 50% viable sperm after 5 days.
Our data suggest that ejaculate characteristics (sperm number, viability, and longevity) vary widely in Peron’s tree frog
and may therefore play an important role in determining siring success both in the presence and absence of sperm competition.
We discuss the results in relation to selection on ejaculate traits via natural and sexual selection in this and other amphibians. 相似文献

In the European starling, Sturnus vulgaris, optimal mating systems differ between males and females. Males gain from polygyny, whereas monogamy increases female fitness.
The cost of polygyny to females lead to intense female–female competition, and it has previously been shown that the intensity
of female aggression during the pre-breeding period can predict the realised mating system. The physiological regulation of
such female aggression in starlings is not yet known. This study examines the role of testosterone in mediating aggressive
behaviours involved in intra-specific reproductive competition in female starlings. Testosterone levels were experimentally
elevated with testosterone implants in females during the pre-laying period. To simulate a situation in which an additional
female tried to mate with the focal female’s mate, a caged female was presented close to a nest-site to which the male could
attract a secondary female. Testosterone was significantly related to several behaviours involved in female–female interactions.
Females with testosterone implants spent significantly more time close to the caged female and produced more song bouts than
control females. In contrast, male behaviour was unrelated to the experimental status of the mate. Females mated to males
that attracted a secondary female were less aggressive towards the caged female than those that remained monogamously mated.
The effect of exogenous testosterone in this study indicates that androgens may mediate social behaviours in female starlings
during the breeding season. 相似文献
