1. The effect of environmental enrichment on the behaviour of meerkats, banded mongooses and dwarf mongooses in human care.
Master-uppsats, Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologiSammanfattning : Animals in captivity can be deprived of performing some of their natural behaviours. Using enrichments may allow them to express a larger part of species-specific behaviour repertoire and with a better frequency distribution. This study focuses on three species of the family Herpestidae which live in captivity at Bioparc Valencia (Spain). LÄS MER
2. Behavioural responses of mice to the odour of cat blood and horse blood
Kandidat-uppsats, Linköpings universitet/Biologi; Linköpings universitet/Tekniska fakultetenSammanfattning : A variety of prey species are able to detect predators by odours emanating from their urine, feces, fur and anal glands. However, it is unknown whether the odour of a predator’s blood also contains information signalling “predator” to a prey. LÄS MER
3. Behavioural responses of mice to predator odour components
Master-uppsats, Linköpings universitet/Biologi; Linköpings universitet/Tekniska fakultetenSammanfattning : Having means to detect and avoid potential predators is a necessity for prey species. Most mammalian prey species are able to detect odours emitted by predators and to adapt their behaviour accordingly. These odour cues are therefore considered to act as semiochemicals. Predator odours consist of several dozen different odourants. LÄS MER
4. Behavioural responses in mice exposed to predator odour components
Kandidat-uppsats, Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi; Linköpings universitet/Tekniska högskolanSammanfattning : It is essential for prey species to be able to detect predators to avoid them. The sense of smell is used by a number of prey species for this purpose. The aim of the present study was to assess if one of the odourants that make up a predator odour is sufficient to induce a behavioural response in mice (Mus musculus). LÄS MER
5. Effects of brown bear (Ursus arctos) odour on the patch choice and behaviour of different ungulate species
Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental StudiesSammanfattning : The return of large predators to regions where they were previously extirpated has created a need for knowledge about their effect on prey species, not only their lethal but also their behavioural or risk effects. In this study the behavioural risk effects of brown bear (Ursus arctos) were tested on fallow deer (Dama dama), roe deer (Capreolus capreolus), red deer (Cervus elaphus), moose (Alces alces) and wild boar (Sus scrofa).
