Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biomechanics in Animal Behaviour offers a unique approach by integrating fully the fields of animal behaviour and biomechanics. It demonstrates how an understanding of biomechanical issues is an important part of evaluating and predicting animal behaviour. The book examines how behaviour is determined and/or constrained by biomechanical variables such as hydrodynamics, aerodynamics, kinematics, and the mechanical properties of biomaterials.

Book excerpt: As the first four-legged vertebrates, called tetrapods, crept up along the shores of ancient primordial seas, feeding was among the most paramount of their concerns. Looking back into the mists of evolutionary time, fish-like ancestors can be seen transformed by natural selection and other evolutionary pressures into animals with feeding habitats as varied as an anteater and a whale. From frog to pheasant and salamander to snake, every lineage of tetrapods has evolved unique feeding anatomy and behavior.Similarities in widely divergent tetrapods vividly illustrate their shared common ancestry. At the same time, numerous differences between and among tetrapods document the power and majesty that comprises organismal evolutionary history.Feeding is a detailed survey of the varied ways that land vertebrates acquire food. The functional anatomy and the control of complex and dynamic structural components are recurrent themes of this volume. Luminaries in the discipline of feeding biology have joined forces to create a book certain to stimulate future studies of animal anatomy and behavior.
Download or read book Evaluating the Role of Common Snapping Turtles Chelydra Serpentina in Freshwater Ponds of North Carolina written by Hailey Shoptaugh and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Trophic cascades have frequently been observed in aquatic ecosystems. For example, the common snapping turtle (Chelydra serpentina), can reduce prey populations and trigger long-lasting phytoplankton blooms after short visits. This study aimed to disentangle both direct and indirect effects of common snapping turtles in experimental ponds. Each experimental pond contained food webs differing in predator presence with large and small apex predators (Chelydra serpentina), mesopredator presence (Notophthalmus viridescens), and herbivorous prey (Rana catesbeiana tadpoles). I predicted a direct effect of turtle predation on newts and tadpoles and that snapping turtle predation on newts would cause higher tadpole survival and growth, which indirectly would decrease algal biomass. Tadpoles had the largest masses in food webs with large turtles and newts. Tadpoles with newts and large turtles were further along developmentally than tadpoles in other food webs. Newt survival differed between food webs and appeared to be lowest in food webs with small turtles. There was no statistical difference in algal biomass among food webs at the conclusion of the experiment. Overall, these results highlight that a trophic cascade may occur in freshwater ponds following short term visits by common snapping turtles, but their role is complex and may be size dependent."--Abstract.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The chemical secretions from the Rathke's glands of common musk turtles have a variety of proposed functions including predator deterrence and attraction, but experimental studies testing these hypotheses are lacking. This study used laboratory and field experiments to test whether musk secretions had attraction or repellent effects on two natural predators, the cottonmouth (Agkistrodon piscivorus), and the common snapping turtle (Chelydra serpentina). In a laboratory experiment, I examined latency to feed and consumption times for cottonmouths offered musk-treated minnows and control minnows. In a field study, I investigated the ratio of snapping turtles appearing in traps with and without musk-treated bait. The latency to feed times for cottonmouths offered musk-treated minnows were not significantly different from those offered control minnows. However, prey consumption times for cottonmouths feeding on musk-treated minnows were significantly greater than those feeding on control minnows. These results suggest that the musk secretions may lengthen the time of a predation sequence, possibly allowing the turtle more time to escape from the predator. The number of snapping turtles appearing in traps with musk-treated bait was significantly greater than the number of snapping turtles in traps without musk-treated bait. These results support the predator attraction hypothesis, where the signal may attract additional predators that interfere with a predation event, providing an opportunity for the prey to escape.
